DESCRIPTION:
"A birds-eye view of the geo-political situation with our options" according to Will. Dr Wright offers a thoughtful, birds-eye view of the current geopolitical situations and various scenarios for nations to advance their respective economic and political needs. It's complicated! The USA pays a price if it tries to impose its answers on other nations these. "Good but Unlikely U.S. Grand Strategy" according to Francis G. Hoffman. Impressive grasp of world events, concise strategic assessments of key regions, a bit of an optimist for American strategy (and never mentions how to pay for his Responsible Competition). Not likely to be accepted by the current Administration, but very much worth reading. Amazon Customer said Five Stars. Great book
And many Americans question why the United States ought to lead. Russia and China are increasingly revisionist in their regions. Wright outlines a new American strategy - responsible competition - to navigate these challenges and strengthen the liberal order.. The two decades after the Cold War saw unprecedented cooperation between the major powers as the world converged on a model of liberal international order. Now, great power competition is back, and the liberal order is in jeopardy. The Middle East appears to be unraveling. What will great power competition look like in the decades ahead? Will the liberal world order survive? What impact will geopolitics have on globalization? And what strategy should the United States pursue to succeed in an increasingly competitive world? In this book, Thomas Wright explains how major powers will compete fiercely even as they try to avoid war with each other
