Title: Global Petro-Politics: The Foreign Policy Implications of the Bush Administration's Energy Plan
Author: Michael T. Klare

Title: Rebuilding Afghanistan
Author: Marina Ottaway and Anatol Lieven
"In the past several decades, the international community has relied on three approaches to deal with countries that descend into chaos. It has supported strongmen capable of reimposing order by force; it has given up in despair, leaving the country to sort out its problems as best it can; and, most recently, it has embarked on ambitious projects to reconstruct the country in the image of a modern secular, multiethnic, and democratic state.
