Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Refuting the conventional wisdom that the end of the Cold War cleared the way for an era of peace and prosperity led solely by the United States, Charles A. Kupchan contends that the next challenge to America’s might is fast emerging. It comes not from the Islamic world or an ascendant China, but from an integrating Europe that is rising as a counterweight to the United States. Decades of strategic partnership across the Atlantic are giving way to renewed geopolitical competition. The waning of U.S. primacy will be expedited by America’s own ambivalence about remaining the globe’s guardian and by the impact of the digital age on the country’s politics and its role in the world. By deftly mining the lessons of history to cast light on the present and future, Kupchan explains how America and the world should prepare for the more complex, more unstable road ahead.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Era I have written this book as the appeal of a citizen to his fellow citizens. I have written in the first person for I would fain be as personal as possible. The reader will find here no recondite scholarship, no marshalling of laboriously gathered facts, no startling revelation or new discovery. I write neither as one having authority nor yet as one of the scribes. I come as a citizen to meet his fellow citizens in committee of the whole to consider the condition of the country and of the world. The matters that concern us are commonplaces of popular knowledge whose meaning is after all no commonplace, for it is to these commonplaces that we must turn for the saving of the nations. I am dazed by the height to which we have suddenly been lifted as a people, and appalled at the abyss that yawns before us. Our opportunity is so immeasurably great, our temper so lawless, and our thought so unconscious that I await developments with mingled anticipation and terror. We seem at times to be walking like the somnambulist along some dizzy ledge where waking men fear to go. Yet wake we must and choose our path with open eyes. We shall find no royal road, no magic formula, no panacea. It is homely virtues that must save us, virtues that the world has known since Sinai, but virtues that are ever new in their application to changing conditions and require the renewal of our allegiance. In accordance with the purpose of the book I have made a minimum use of footnotes and reference to authorities.

Download or read book The American Era written by Robert J. Lieber and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-12 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Era makes a provocative argument about America's world role. It sets out the case for a grand strategy that recognizes American preponderance as necessary and desirable for coping with the perils of the post-9/11 world. The book argues firstly that, Militant Islamic terrorism and weapons of mass destruction pose a threat which requires us to alter the way we think about the pre-emptive and preventive use of force. Secondly, the UN and other international bodies are incapable of acting on these urgent problems. Thirdly, in an international system with no true central authority other countries will inevitably look for leadership to the US. The book argues that if America does not respond actively to terrorist threats, no one else will take the initiative.

Download or read book Presidential Leadership and the Creation of the American Era written by Joseph S. Nye Jr. and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-31 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How presidents forged the American century This book examines the foreign policy decisions of the presidents who presided over the most critical phases of America's rise to world primacy in the twentieth century, and assesses the effectiveness and ethics of their choices. Joseph Nye, who was ranked as one of Foreign Policy magazine’s 100 Top Global Thinkers, reveals how some presidents tried with varying success to forge a new international order while others sought to manage America’s existing position. The book shows how transformational presidents like Wilson and Reagan changed how America sees the world, but argues that transactional presidents like Eisenhower and the elder Bush were sometimes more effective and ethical. It also draws important lessons for today’s uncertain world, in which presidential decision making is more critical than ever.
