The Post-American World by Zakaria, Fareed - 2008

W. W. Norton & Company, 2008. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. From the book, ""Zakaria outlines the contemporary diffusion of power throughout the world. The great challenge for Britain was economic decline. The challenge for America is political decline, for as others grow in importance, the central role of the United States has to shrink. Washington needs to begin a serious transformation of its global strategy, moving from being the dominating hegemon to a role that is more like an honest broker. It must seek to share power, create coalitions, building legitimancy, and define the global agenda--all formidable tasks. None of this will be easy for the greatest power the world has ever known--the only power that has really mattered for so long. But as we learn in this deeply relevant and eloquent new book, all that is changing now. The future we face is the post-American world."" Hard cover in very good condition.
