Into the Twenty-first Century: Clinton and Beyond, 1993-Future
Chapter
Abstract
By 1992, the world as a whole seemed a much better, safer place than just a few years earlier: the Soviet empire, Warsaw Pact, and communism had crumbled; world trade and investments expanded steadily; more countries acquired or strengthened democratic governments; Washington and Moscow signed significant nuclear and conventional arms reduction treaties; international treaties were signed to combat environmental crises like the greenhouse effect, loss of biodiversity, and ozone depletion that threaten to eventually destroy the planet.
