<p>Rimanelli puts into context Zimbabwe's current democratization crisis within a broader historical, political, international and economic framework. This book analyzes the country's turbulent politics and history by contrasting the biography narratives of how Mugabe and Smith rose to power and shaped rival nation-building destinies for their country. With a number of books published about Smith and Mugabe, this book is the first to compare and assess their visions for Rhodesia and Zimbabwe. Both individuals have profoundly affected the pathology of this country with its myriad successes and failures attributed to their joint creation. Ever since Smith's death in 2007, the debate has continued as to whether he was better or worse than Mugabe.</p>

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a military alliance established by the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty on April 4, 1949. The treaty was signed by Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxemburg, France, United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Denmark and Iceland. Today there are a total of 26 countries that belong to NATO.The Historical Dictionary of NATO and Other International Security Organizations covers the Atlantic Alliance's origins, structure and organization through a list of acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 1,000 cross-referenced dictionary entries on its Secretaries-Generals, its Supreme Allied Commanders-Europe, plus all affiliated organizations created to enhance NATO's reach in a broader Euro-Atlantic security architecture (e.g. North Atlantic Consultative Council, Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council, NATO-Russia Charter; NATO-Ukraine Charter, and NATO-Mediterranean Dialogue Partners). This book also covers other related regional organizations with security responsibilities in Europe and worldwide where they interact with NATO, either currently (e.g. ANZUS, ASEAN, European Union, Organization of African Unity, Organization of American States, Organization on Security and Cooperation in Europe, and United Nations) or in the past (e.g. CENTO, European Defence Community, SEATO, Warsaw Pact, and Western European Union).

Challenges to U.S. Foreign Policy in the Post-Cold War. This book provides a comprehensive view of most Post-Cold War strategic challenges affecting America and the West, as well as possible solutions that would enable the United States to retain global leadership and influence at acceptable operational levels, rather than the full Cold War mobilization of the by-gone Containment years. A host of new geo-strategic challenges has erupted out of the dramatic, unexpected end of the Cold War and the fall of Communism, which destroyed the Soviet Union and radically realigned the politico-economic and geo-strategic maps of Europe and the ex-USSR. The daily, but predictable, dangers of Cold War bipolar confrontation between rival ideologically rival Super-Powers armed with nuclear arsenals, have been replaced now by creeping Post-Cold War regional and sub-regional tensions, or even uncontrollable trans-national disasters "in the making": deforestation, global drug-trafficking, potentially global epidemics of infectious diseases, infrequent bursts of massive emigration waves of political refugees (flee even ethnic genocide) and more often countless destitute economic migrants. Dr. Marco Rimanelli, [as of 1998] current Director of the Center on Inter-American and World Studies of St. Leo University brought together on 19 March 1997 a distinguished group of scholars to the Center's IInd [2nd] Symposium at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida [USA], to analyze new international/regional developments in Europe, the ex-Soviet Union, Latin America, the Middle-East, Africa and Asia, as well as to suggest a coherently global, Post-Cold War foreign policy for U.S. National interests and Western security. This book is also a good general reference for use in University Classes. Please note that quantities may be limited.
