13 Pages Posted: 12 Dec 2003
Abstract
This essay, drawing on the author's involvement in the Balkans, suggests a strategy of engagement for U.S. foreign policy, below and beyond the nation state level. The United States must build civil society, rule of law, democracy and open markets in countries that now breed terrorism, and develop a military capability to meet actual threats within a multilateral context.
