From weapons of mass destruction to new infectious diseases, from climate change to borderless trade and investment, from terrorism to the Internet, modern issues require international cooperation and collective solutions. Undeniably, the world of the 21st century has become globalized; rapid expansion of markets and the explosion in human migration means that no country or individual exists as an island isolated from international trends and challenges. The interdependence of nations, and of people, is a fact of life.
