Two new books
Abe Lowenthal reports on two books to be published in March.
On March 10, Stanford University Press will publish Lowenthal's Global California: Rising to the Cosmopolitan Challenge, addressing how the citizens of a state with the dimensions and power of a nation are affected by international trends, and what they can do to identify and promote their own interests in a rapidly changing world. For more information or to order the book, go to Stanford University Press (sup.org) and click “Policy Books.”
On March 30, Brookings Institution Press will publish The Obama Administration and the Americas: Agenda for Change, co-edited by Lowenthal, Theodore Piccone and Laurence Whitehead. This volume, comprised of essay by leading U.S., Latin American and European scholars and practitioners, assesses the problems and opportunities in U.S.-Latin American relations. It provides advice to the new U.S. Administration on how to improve the prospects for enhanced cooperation on shared concerns, and focuses on the hard cases likely to press themselves onto the U.S. agenda: Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Haiti, Mexico and Venezuela.
