Bergsten (director, the Institute for International Economics) presents this volume created by senior fellows of the Institute to provide an agenda for U.S. foreign economic policy. Thirteen contributions provide an overview and then discuss the policy context--global integration, China's emergence in the global economy, and the US in relation to large emerging-market economies. Subsequent topics in the "key issues" section include sustaining global growth while reducing external imbalances, energy, US trade policy, offshore outsourcing, immigration policy, international financial architecture, and fostering development.
