&#8220;Strategic reassurance&#8221; seems to chart a different course. Senior officials liken the policy to the British accommodation of a rising United States at the end of the 19th century, which entailed ceding the Western Hemisphere to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marian Salzman asked me and others to talk about re-branding the United States.  These are extracts from two of her blog posts, about challenges and solutions.
My remarks:
Brand America is suffering from the hangover of the Bush years, which intensified perceptions of the U.S. as arrogant, violent, greedy, ignorant and self-interested. One of the tragedies [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[India&#8217;s vast film industry has generated relatively little cultural power for the country over the decades: its productions have tended to be formulaic and simplistic, and have found only limited audiences beyond South Asia and its diasporas.
That may begin to change.  Buoyed by India&#8217;s rising wealth, Bollywood is gaining resources, professionalizing, and linking to [...]]]></description>

In 5 of 6 major Latin American nations, majorities have little or no confidence in Chavez as a leader.  In Brazil and Peru, majorities have &#8220;no confidence at all&#8221; in him. [...]]]></description>
