Lessons from Abroad for the U.S. Entitlement Debate (CSIS Reports)
by Richard Jackson
The unsustainable federal budget outlook will inevitably push entitlement reform to the forefront of the national policy debate.

The authors then examine some of the issues specific to suicide by cop, such as whether...

This book analyses the development of United States regional cooperation policy on Southeast Asia and its importance to long-term planning for the region that had been the general aim of successive American post-war administration...
