This third and final volume in the set provides general thematic discussion designed to complement the nation-by-nation survey presented in volumes one and two. The editors emphasize that the articles provide cultural and historical context for the survey and should not be interpreted as anti-American or anti-Bush — though there is certainly ample content here to fuel many a debate on these important issues. Topics of the ninety-five articles include AIDS and perspectives on US AIDS policy; Islamic worldview; US relations with the United Nations; the collapse of the Soviet Union; and views on the US use of force internationally.
