Its multiple authors are multi-cultural and even multi-continental; its approach is multi-disciplinary and multi-layered; its topics are multi-lateralism and multi-polarism; its units of analysis are multi-regional and multi-functional; its observations are multi-faceted and multi-cautious. If this were not enough! they are all brought to bear on the multi-ambiguous process of globalization! Nevertheless! it does manage to present a coherent and challenging message to the advanced student of political science - whether he or she is interested in the national! regional of global level of aggregation.
