Open World - How America Can Win the Contest for Twenty-First-Century Order

"After the 2016 elections, foreign policy pundits began to bemoan the demise of the liberal international order-the system of international laws, norms, and rules that the United States helped to build at the end of the Second World War. Despite the chaos of the present political moment, however, the president is not a standalone shock, but a product of longer-term domestic and international trends that will outlast his administration--and reshape U.S. foreign policy forever. Political polarization, international power shifts, and the rapidly changing role of technology in governance will remake the world the United States faces. Meanwhile, its rivals seek to refashion the existing system by closing portions of it off to defend themselves and their authoritarian interests. Only by pursuing a grand strategy of openness can the United States protect its security and prosperity despite relatively diminished power. To do so, the next U.S. president will need to remake America foreign policy as we know it-or risk missing this window of immense opportunity, and find the country powerless to rebuild the system that has long supported its strength"--]cProvided by publisher.
