Acknowledgments
Africans say that it takes a village to raise a child—it is certainly true that it takes one to write a textbook! We could not have done it without a community of family, friends, colleagues, students, reviewers, and editors who supported us, nagged us, maddened us, and kept us on our toes. Not only is this a better book because of their help and support, but it would not have been a book at all without them.
In addition to all the folks we gratefully acknowledge in the full edition of this text, some made a particular contribution to this brief edition. We would like to thank the reviewers who have given us their feedback on the past and current brief editions of our book:

There are several people in particular without whom this edition would never have seen the light of day. Pat Haney, the provider of the nuts and bolts of the foreign policy section, has been a cheerful, tireless collaborator, a good friend and colleague for twenty years now, and we are so grateful to him. Chuck McCutcheon, a huge help and a delight to work with, lent his expertise to the social and economic policy sections.
Finally, it is our great privilege to acknowledge and thank all the people at CQ Press who believed in this book and made this edition possible. In this day and age of huge publishing conglomerates, it has been such a pleasure to work with a small, committed team dedicated to top-quality work.
