Intellectual Challenges
From: London School of Economics and Political Science | By: Fred Halliday

EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION | Fred Halliday Fred Halliday (right), a leading observer of international relations, looks at the patterns and challenges facing the world at the beginning of the new millennium. He begins by discussing the reasons to be optimistic about the course of today's international system, but he notes that there are still a variety of intellectual challenges we must overcome when thinking about the contemporary world--from global paranoia and risk to societal interdependence and increased choice.



Fred Halliday discusses why he believes there is reason for optimism, amidst the uncertainty, in international relations.
