Dennis Ignatius is an old friend and colleague who is an astute and articulate analyst and commentator on national affairs and foreign policy. Malaysia is today facing the most serious crisis in its history; Dennis is one of the brave Malaysians who is prepared to be objective in analyzing the sad state of our beloved Malaysia. To paraphrase Voltaire: It is dangerous to be right when the State is wrong. I hope Dennis’s thought-provoking articles will help stimulate debate and discussion about how we can all work together for a better Malaysia.- Ambassador Dato Redzuan Kushairi G25 In life, our biggest challenges relate to saying no to those whom we feel closest to. In matters of international diplomacy, the biggest challenge is speaking up for the country that you love and serve. Not only has Dennis Ignatius done this excellently for our nation-state, but, he has spoken out on many other matters of national interest, transcending the priorities of the public sphere. An excellent educational read! - KJ John Convener of National Congress on Integrity and Chairman of Board of OHMSI Dennis Ignatius dissects the Malaysian political landscape with a skeptical if emphatic gaze, borne of years of experience in the Malaysian Foreign Service. More than just a collection of essays, this book is a historical document by a professional whose clarity of purpose is evident from the very first chapter. - S. Thayaparan Commander (RTD) Royal Malaysian Navy

Lloyd Griscom was born on November 4, 1872 at Riverton, New Jersey. He graduated in 1891 from the law department of University of Pennsylvania and a member of the Sigma Chapter of the Zeta Psi Fraternity. Griscom continued his legal studies at the New York Law School. In 1893-1894 Griscom served in the United Kingdom as secretary to Ambassador Thomas Bayard; in 1897 he was deputy district attorney of New York; and during the Spanish-American War he served as captain and assistant quartermaster. After a short period as Secretary of Legation and chargE d' affaires at Constantinople, Griscom was appointed Minister to Persia in 1901. He held the corresponding post in Japan (1902-1906) and was ambassador to Brazil (1906-1907) and to Italy (1907-1909). In 1911 he became a member of the law firm of Beekman, Menken, and Griscom, New York City, and was thereafter active in local Republican politics. He contributed numerous articles to the Philadelphia Sunday Press on travel in Central America. In 1917 he was appointed a major in the department of the Adjutant-General of the United States Army and afterwards became Assistant Adjutant-General. Griscom's primary significance was as an advocate for globalized free trade as a means to promote peaceful development in accordance with his Quaker faith. In the Middle East he worked for better relations between Muslims and Christians, and he played a major role in the relief effort in Italy after the 1908 Messina earthquake took 50,000 lives. Prior to the death of Secretary of State John Hay in 1905, Griscom was offered the post of First Assistant Secretary of State. The appointment of Elihu Root to succeed Hay nullified Griscom's appointment to the State Department position. Following his retirement from public service, he bought and became the publisher of several Long Island newspapers, including the East Norwich Enterprise, the North Hempstead Record, and the Nassau Daily Star. Griscom purchased the Tallahassee [Florida] Democrat in 1929 owning it until his death in 1958. His widow owned the paper from 1958 through 1965. He was a cousin by marriage to Wolcott Gibbs, who worked at several of his Long Island newspapers. (wikipedia.org)

Over the last two decades, China has emerged as one of the most powerful state actors in the post-Cold War international system. This book provides a multifaceted and spatially oriented analysis of how China’s re-emergence as a global power impacts the dominance of the United States as well as domestic state and non-state actors in various world-regions, including the Asia-Pacific, Africa, South America and the Caribbean, the Middle East, Europe and the Arctic. Chapters reflect on how and under which conditions competition (and cooperation) between the United States and China vary across these regions and what such variations mean for the prospects of war and peace, universal human dignity and global cooperation.

Toward "Thorough, Accurate, and Reliable" explores the evolution of the Foreign Relations of the United States documentary history series from its antecedents in the early republic through the early 21st century implementation of its current mandate, the 1991 Foreign Relations statute. This book traces how policymakers and an expanding array of stakeholders translated values like "security," "legitimacy," and "transparency" into practice as they debated how to balance the government's obligation to protect sensitive information with its commitment to openness. Determining the "people's right to know" has fueled lively discussion for over two centuries, and this work provides important, historically informed perspectives valuable to policymakers and engaged citizens as that conversation continues. Policymakers, citizens, especially political science researchers, political scientists, academic, high school, public librarians and students performing research for foreign policy issues will be most interested in this volume.
