Book excerpt: An examination of the U.S.-China relationship that charts a new path for America focusing on its existing advantages Ryan Hass charts a path forward in America's relationship and rivalry with China rooted in the relative advantages America already possesses. Hass argues that while competition will remain the defining trait of the relationship, both countries will continue to be impacted--for good or ill--by their capacity to coordinate on common challenges that neither can solve on its own, such as pandemic disease, global economic recession, climate change, and nuclear nonproliferation. Hass makes the case that the United States will have greater success in outpacing China economically and outshining it in questions of governance if it focuses more on improving its own condition at home than on trying to impede Chinese initiatives. He argues that the task at hand is not to stand in China's way and turn a rising power into an enemy in the process but to renew America's advantages in its competition with China.

Book excerpt: A timely, provocative exposé of American political and business leadership’s deep ties to China: a network of people who believe they are doing the right thing—at a profound and often hidden cost to U.S. interests. The past few years have seen relations between China and the United States shift, from enthusiastic economic partners, to wary frenemies, to open rivals. Americans have been slow to wake up to the challenges posed by the Chinese Communist Party. Why did this happen? And what can we do about it? In America Second, Isaac Stone Fish traces the evolution of the Party’s influence in America. He shows how America’s leaders initially welcomed China’s entry into the U.S. economy, believing that trade and engagement would lead to a more democratic China. And he explains how—although this belief has proved misguided--many of our businesspeople and politicians have become too dependent on China to challenge it. America Second exposes a deep network of Beijing’s influence in America, built quietly over the years through prominent figures like former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright, Disney chairman Bob Iger, and members of the Bush family. And it shows how to fight that influence–without being paranoid, xenophobic, or racist. This is an authoritative and important story of corruption and good intentions gone wrong, with serious implications not only for the future of the United States, but for the world at large.

Download or read book The Centrist Manifesto written by Charles Wheelan and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2013-04-19 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vision—and detailed road map to power—for a new party that will champion America’s rational center. From debt ceiling standoffs to single-digit Congress approval ratings, America’s political system has never been more polarized—or paralyzed—than it is today. As best-selling author and public policy expert Charles Wheelan writes, now is the time for a pragmatic Centrist party that will identify and embrace the best Democratic and Republican ideals, moving us forward on the most urgent issues for our nation. Wheelan—who not only lectures on public policy but practices it as well (he ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 2009)—brings even more than his usual wit and clarity of vision to The Centrist Manifesto. He outlines a realistic ground game that could net at least five Centrist senators from New England, the Midwest, and elsewhere. With the power to deny a red or blue Senate majority, committed Centrists could take the first step toward giving voice and power to America’s largest, and most rational, voting bloc: the center.

Book excerpt: A group of prominent political leaders and thinkers offers a pathway to cut through the gridlock and make our government work. Every year the President stands before Congress and the American people to deliver a State of the Union Address. What was once an opportunity for honest reflection on accomplishments and goals has become more of a laundry list than a speech—a grab bag of policy ideas, partisan rhetoric, and a healthy dose of wishful thinking. Meanwhile, the gridlock in Washington means that virtually nothing in that speech will amount to anything but talk. Governor Jon Huntsman and Senator Joe Manchin, two of the most respected and straightforward political leaders in America, have a simple solution for Washington's gridlock. It begins with getting our leaders together at the table to agree to goals not just for their party but for the whole country. In this book, Huntsman and Manchin are joined by experts and politicians from both sides of the aisle, including thought leaders from business, economics, and academia. Contributors include two former White House Chiefs of Staff; former OMB Director Alice Rivlin; Glenn Hubbard, Dean of Columbia Business School; nine members of Congress committed to solving Washington's endemic problems; and more contributors from every walk of life. These contributors are all making a loud call for a new process of running the United States of America. “Politics doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game—we are going to share the future, and so we need to find ways to work together…a timely book.” —President Bill Clinton “President Clinton and I disagreed on many things, but we did agree on two very large goals—balanced budgets and welfare reform. These shared goals allowed us to focus energy on bridging the gap between the parties…By proposing four large goals around which to rally the country, No Labels: A Shared Vision for a Stronger America lays the groundwork for a return to meaningful bipartisan accomplishment in Washington.”—Newt Gingrich

America the Strong shows the next generation how these principles have made the United States a great nation and why they are worth preserving. It answers more than one hundred questions, from “Do conservatives hate the government?” to “What’s wrong with having an open border?” to “Why can’t rich people pay all the taxes?” Discover a strong, clear conservative vision of America for the next generation.
Download or read book The Habits of Unity 12 Months to a Stronger America One Citizen at a Time written by Elaine Parke, MBA, CS, CM, NSA and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2021-08-27 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America has almost never been more divided. Author Elaine Parke, MBA, CS, CM, NSA, believes the core problem is that our founders created a Bill of Rights but failed to write a Bill of Responsibilities. To be a healthy nation, citizens, as individuals, must also unite around the daily practice of democratic ideals. This doesn’t mean we all think alike. It does mean we treat others equally, and with dignity, respect, and kindness. The Habits of Unity: 12 Months to a Stronger America...One Citizen at a Time is a one-minute-a-day action guide to a better life and a more empowered citizenship. Each of the twelve months of the year is branded with one colorful habit-forming value like resolve conflicts, help others, and be more positive. When practiced daily by patriots, these 12 unity habits emerge as a citizens “Bill of 12 Responsibilities” that make life better for everyone. As a former corporate executive whose job was in part to help people get along better, Parke came up with this one-minute-at-a-time, one-value-a-month game plan. She’s been teaching it in schools and communities for thirty years—and seeing results. Nine independent studies have evaluated it and found it connected people and that individual behaviors improved. The London Institute named it a Social Invention. This isn’t a book about habits—it is a habit-forming book.
Download or read book Eu and Latin America A Stronger Partnership written by Antonella Mori and published by Ledizioni. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite a stop-and-go policy, over the past twenty years the European Union, Latin America, and the Caribbean Region have joined forces to scale-up their partnership. Today, the time seems ripe for the EU to give new impetus to bi-regional relations as the US interest in the region appears to be decreasing, and China quickly steps in. The near future will indicate whether the political will to bolster relations between the EU and the region is actually stronger than before: how will the agreements between the EU and Mexico, Chile, and the Caribbean be updated? Will the EU-MERCOSUR Association Agreement be completed? If so, the EU will be able to enact free trade agreements with all the countries in the region, except Bolivia, Venezuela and Cuba. The latter is already involved in its first ever negotiation with the EU to strengthen bilateral cooperation. This volume provides an overview and wide-ranging analyses on the ongoing negotiations, viable options and possible results.
