In an increasingly borderless world, the ideal of self-sufficiency is giving way to the reality of interdependence. To meet such challenges as a threatened environment, a faltering economy, a potential pandemic, or the possibility of nuclear terrorism, cooperation on a world-wide scale is required as never before. But cooperation implies mutual respect and understanding; it implies a willingness to negotiate on an equal footing. These conditions can be met only by people able to shift perspectives, take cultural differences into account, and communicate in the language of their counterparts. English is not enough.
