Future Girl: Young Women in the Twenty-first Century Book

This should be the agenda for discussion of foreign policy issues.

In every recent Presidential election season, dialogue and discussion about candidates and parties often focused on trivia rather than honestly addressing serious issues. As we are well into the 2012 election season, this book should set the agenda for discussion, dialogue, and debate on foreign policy topics. Caldwell and Williams clearly lay out the various sources of threat and insecurity facing our world and specifically facing America. However, the book never drops to the level of fear-mongering of inducing helpless dread. Instead, interwoven in the discussions of realistic concerns are level-headed analyses of the policy approaches that have been used and could be used to address the challenges that we face.
