The book was written and edited by Jagdish Parikh of Interdoc-AsPac and Duncan Pruett of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation's New York office. The bulk of the research and compilation of material for the current publication was conducted over a four-week period with the help of many friends and colleagues around the world. Special thanks should go to the numerous readers of the book, who made many productive and helpful comments during the editing process.
