"I have proposed two steps in the disestablishment of science: first, re- 

 fusal to accept grants or contracts or projects directly from government 

 agencies, and second, demand for a single national grant which is then to be 

 allocated by the scientific community itself. There remains a third step in 

 the more distant future, and yet it is the crucial step: the allocation of 

 research as a single international undertaking."

The book attempts to define " . . . the emerging global political process 

 which increasingly blurs the traditional distinction ^ between domestic and 

 international politics" and its meaning for the United States. "The first part 

 deals with the impact of the scientific-technological revolution on world affairs 

 in general, discussing more specifically the ambiguous position of the principal 

 disseminator of that revolution — the United States — and analyzing the 

 effects of the revolution on the so-called Third World. The second part ex- 

 amines how the foregoing considerations have affected the content, style, and 

 format of man's political outlook on his global reality, with particular refer- 

 ence to the changing role of ideology. The third part assesses the contemporary 

 relevance of communism to problems of modernity, looking first at the experi- 

 ence of the Soviet Union and then examining the overall condition of inter- 

 national communism as a movement that once sought to combine inter- 

 nationalism and humanism. The fourth part focuses on the United States, a 

 society that is both a social pioneer and a guinea pig for mankind * * *. 

 The fifth part outlines in very broad terms the general directions that America 

 might take in order to make an effective response to the previously discussed 

 foreigia and domestic dilemmas."

"The disintegration of cold-war alliances and various challenges to the 

 traditional nation-state system fundamentally affect world politics today. 

 The author . . . finds the sources of both these trends in technological, 

 economic, and cultural changes that can be reversed only at great political 

 cost. He foresees a world in the last quarter of this century in which nations, 

 groups within nations, and transnational special interest groups will be com- 

 peting for popular support and loyalty. The resulting lack of political co- 

 herence, he believes, is likely to coincide with technological developments 

 that render close coordination among societies imperative if basic security, 

 health, and welfare needs are to be met. He concludes that all this bodes 111 

 for world order and justice unless efforts to improve international decision- 

 making processes are successful. To that end, he offers guidelines for U.S. 

 foreign policy responsive to the urgent need for international coordination in 

 the years ahead."
