The High Price of Bad Diplomacy
'Chief executives are beginning to worry that globalisation
may not be compatible with a foreign policy of unilateral preemption. Can
capital, trade, and labour flow smoothly when the world's only superpower
maintains such a confusing and threatening stance? US corporations may
soon find it more difficult to function in a multilateral economic arena
when their overseas business partners and governments perceive America to
be acting outside the bounds of international law and institutions' (
Bruce Nussbaum via Business Week
