Highlights

The four ages of American foreign policy: weak power, great power, superpower, hyperpower / Michael Mandelbaum.  New York, NY: Oxford University Press, 2022.
Call no: E183.7 M27

In 2008, a severe financial crisis struck America, which led to a prolonged global recession. By the end of this period, Russia, China, and Iran had begun to mount serious challenges to American interests in Europe, East Asia, and the Middle East respectively. This brought an end to the fourth age of American foreign policy — Publisher.


Governing new frontiers in the information age: toward cyber peace / Scott J. Shackelford, Indiana University.  Cambridge, United Kingdom; New York, NY: Cambridge University Press, 2022.
Call no: KZ6718 S52

Many pressing environmental and security threats now facing the international community may be traced to the frontiers. From climate change and cyber-attacks to the associated challenges of space weaponization and orbital debris mitigation, solutions to all of these issues have at their root some form of regulation over the ‘global commons’. Yet governance over these spaces is now transitioning away from multilateral treaties to regional and bilateral accords — Publisher.
