Without the support, dedication, and passion of these persons and institutions this book would certainly have never been written. Most of all, we firmly believe that without these exchange opportunities and forums for discussion and mutual learning, leaders, academics, and ordinary citizens would be unable to engage in a more frank and constructive process of reflection that is the only way to overcome the mutual preju- dices and ignorance of people in the world. Our sincere hope is that others will also have the opportunity to experience the program first hand, as we did, in order to further this mission. This book stands as a testament to the success of the program, as it is the outcome of ongoing relationships between international relations scholars all across the globe who, were it not for having met at the Institute on US Foreign Relations, in Gainesville, Florida in 2010, would not be in contact. As a group, we are all committed to building greater understanding between the scholars of the world in order to provide a brighter future for international relations and develop a deeper and broader understanding of global perspectives of US foreign policy. Each of the participants benefited from learning about other countries’ percep- tions of the United States, which they were perhaps unfamiliar with prior to arriving in Florida. We hope that this book will be read with the same spirit of enlightened inquiry and hope for insight from others’ experiences, perceptions, and understand- ing. We encourage the reader to honor the example that the institute that inspired this book offered: the possibility of frankly, and leaving nationalistic feelings aside, reading and reflecting on the concerns, challenges, and possibilities that each chap- ter poses.
