Publisher's summary

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.

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. 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. Wright outlines a new American strategy - responsible competition - to navigate these challenges and strengthen the liberal order.

The writer is mentally ill

Absolute disinformation and pure garbage.
Don't waste your time with this book. The writer is oblivious to any historical facts.

Not Old but Very Dated

Lots of background info that could be useful, but this book quickly became out dated.

enlightening

well read and well argued, it places modern geopolitics in a very informed light that, whether or not is new to you, can at least provide clarity on how the past three decades unfolded

Globalist propaganda

I enjoy listening to geopolitical/historical books on my days off. I find it difficult to digest the neoliberal globalist agenda. Really takes a bias stance against Trump and immigration regulations. Sorry if I (a gay man) do not want to be the victim of a Muslim hate crimes. And sorry if I am American don’t want to see our country overtaken by China.

Interesting Assessment of America's Future...

...as the leader of "a" free world. Question is? Do America citizen want to continue to be the leader in a world of rapid change and increasing conflicts. If so, we need to stop our internal fighting and get focused on how we want to lead as "a" nation.
