		The book ends with the expectation that Baha'ism will continue to expand and become increasingly involved in social issues, perhaps especially those that are concerned with a dialogue between the rich "North" and the poor "South".

		One needs a vivid imagination however in the desolate landscape, punctuated by half restored mausolea, dusty caravanserais and isolated minarets, when walking over sandhills possibly containing the walls of ancient cities.
		A vast landscape of half buried remains of no less than five successive important cities, each destroyed by conquerors (beginning with Alexander the Great), then resettled nextdoor only to be destroyed again.

		Since the late 1970s, these three societies have experienced increasing economic integration; however, studies aimed at analyzing and explaining this integration have often overlooked the very important role social institutions have played in the shaping of this process.
		The chapters, taken together, argue that different patterns of institutional configuration have led to divergent paths of development, and that this divergence will have significant implications on the prospects for Chinese national reunification in the twenty-first century.
