substantially. The important thing to remember is that because of the drastic changes, geopolitical concerns are less important now than they were at the time. Thomas L. Friedman suggests that
globalization had replaced the cold war. Clearly, this change is at least partly responsible for the overall shift in thought. It is important however to explore the details of why
