Written by internationally recognized scholars, the twelve essays illustrate the unfolding of a new vision of potential planetary community that retools earlier models based on the nation-state or political "blocsĂąâŹ_x009d_ and reimagines cultural, political, aesthetic, and ethical relationships for the postâCold War era.
