Many see China's rise as a threat to US leadership in Asia and beyond. Thomas J. Christensen argues instead that the real challenge lies in dissuading China from regional aggression while eliciting its global cooperation. Drawing on decades of scholarship and experience as a senior diplomat, Christensen offers a deep perspective on China's military and economic capacity. Assessing China's political outlook and strategic goals, Christensen shows how nationalism and the threat of domestic instability influence the party's decisions about regional and global affairs.

Il a rencontré et interviewé de nombreux managers d'entreprises numéro un dans leur domaine.

Avec la naissance de l'Etat, 3000 ans avant notre ère, l'espace géographique acquiert une dimension politique. Désormais, l'espace n'est plus seulement façonné et cloisonné par la diversité du milieu naturel et par celle du peuplement, mais aussi par l'exercice de souverainetés étatiques concurrentes. Il devient le théâtre et l'enjeu de rivalités pour le contrôle de voies stratégiques, de ressources vitales, mais aussi de territoires ou de lieux symboliques.

From the Baltic to the South China Sea, newly assertive authoritarian states sense an opportunity to resurrect old empires or build new ones at America's expense. Hoping that US decline is real, nations such as Russia, Iran, and China are testing Washington's resolve by targeting vulnerable allies at the frontiers of American power. The Unquiet Frontier explains why the United States needs a new grand strategy that uses strong frontier alliance networks to raise the costs of military aggression in the new century.

Since 1945, the US has justified numerous wars, interventions, and military build-ups based on the pretext of the Russian Red Menace, even after the Soviet Union collapsed at the end of 1991 and Russia stopped being Red. In fact, the two biggest post-war American conflicts, the Korean and Vietnam wars, were not, as has been frequently claimed, about stopping Soviet aggression or even influence. And now the specter of a Russian Menace has been raised again in the wake of Donald Trump's victory.

Russia and China are increasingly revisionist in their regions. The Middle East appears to be unraveling. And many Americans question why the United States ought to lead.

In this book, Thomas Wright explains how major powers will compete fiercely even as they try to avoid war with each other.

As he surveyed their actions in the wake of the crash, he realized that the evidence pointed to the exact opposite conclusion: global economic governance had succeeded.

L'Europa va in frantumi e la Germania è destinata a essere confinata all'angolo dopo la rottura con il Regno Unito, proprio nel tempo in cui gli Stati Uniti di Trump si riavvicinano alla Russia, e tramite essa, al Medio Oriente, alla Turchia, agli Stati Arabi del Golfo e, lo si voglia o no, all'Iran, con cui far pace potrebbe essere solo una questione di tempo.
