 Africa Region Brief - Council on Foreign Relations
For their part, non-African policy-makers, motivated by a mixture of self-interest and altruism, have concluded that they need new policies and programs for an increasingly globalized world in which an African problem—terrorism, for example, or a deadly disease—can easily spread beyond the continent’s borders.
Such policies, says Princeton Lyman, Ralph Bunche senior fellow in Africa policy studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, “would allow for an examination of Africa’s place in the process of globalization and the extent and the ways by which Africa’s relative marginalization in that process poses a problem for the international community.”

 Poll Finds a Nation Chastened by War - by Jim Lobe
Indeed, the survey, the latest in a quadrennial series going back to 1974, found that key national-security principles enunciated by President George W. Bush since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York and the Pentagon are opposed by strong majorities of both the public and the elite.
Thus, "Islamic fundamentalism," which was considered a "critical threat" by 61 percent of the public in 2002, was cited by only 38 percent this year, while the "development of China as a world power," cited by 51 percent in 2002, claimed only 33 percent in 2004.
A more chastened approach to foreign policy also showed up in declining support on the part of both the public and the elite for maintaining military bases abroad, particularly in hot spots like the Middle East and states linked to terrorist activities.
