RISING TIDES: FACING THE CHALLENGES OF A NEW ERA
Book ID/图书代码： 12844016B93681
English Summary/英文概要： The world has changed more and faster than any of us could have imagined. While that may be accepted in terms of global business and financial markets, and to some degree the worldwide web, people including their political leaders may have been slower at grasping what these new interconnections mean for the way we operate in this new era. Liam Fox begins by questioning what decision-makers fear as the threats to world stability and peace, and draws on his own experience to illuminate world events, past and present. In conversation with those responsible for keeping the world afloat - such as Tony Blair, Condoleezza Rice, Malcolm Rifkind and Donald Rumsfeld - he examines both triumph and disaster and explains how to meet the challenge of the new global reality.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 世界改变得如此之多和如此之快，超过了我们所有的想象。全球的商业和金融市场以及某种程度上的全球关系网络也有可能面临同样的变化，人们，包括政治领袖，或许还来不及掌握这些新的关系对于我们在这个新的纪元的行为产生怎样的影响。Liam Fox首先质问这些决策者，他们究竟恐惧些什么，因为我们所在的世界的安定和和平面临着各种威胁。随后，他通过自己的亲身经历来解说发生在过去以及现在的全球性事件。在书中，通过和例如英国前首相布莱尔、美国前国务卿赖斯等等人的对话，他审视了面对今日世界种种挑战过程中的成功和灾难。（LYR）
