Edit recommendation

★ The author is a famous contemporary American strategic theorist and geopolitical scientist, and has served as the foreign policy adviser and national security affairs assistant of three US presidents.
★ This book was strongly recommended by Jim Wolfensohn, former President of the World Bank, Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, and Robert Gates, former Secretary of the United States Department of Defense.
★ With clear and vivid language, combined with theory and own practical experience, supplemented by charts, we made a logical and rigorous analysis of the changes in the world pattern.
★ The author pointedly points out the internal causes of the decline of the United States and the necessity of its strategic contraction. However, different from other arguments that downplay the United States, Bu Lao also pointed out that the current decline of the United States is only relative, and the world pattern will still be dominated by the United States for a long time in the future; Relatively speaking, even if China maintains its current development trend, it will still be difficult to challenge the status of the United States before 2025. As for the future diplomatic trend of the United States, the author also gives a good prescription: "as the promoter and defender of the democratic western camp; as the mediator and arbiter of Asian competitive forces".

The world today is undergoing profound changes, and a power crisis is brewing. The reasons for this crisis include: the power center is rapidly transferred from the west to the east; People all over the world have awakened politically; The United States is performing worse at home and abroad. So, how will this power crisis affect the world pattern? What does this change mean for the United States, which has been in the center of power before?
Obviously, this crisis will pose a long-term challenge to the interests of the United States, the survival of some endangered countries, the joint efforts to deal with nuclear proliferation and climate change, and the broader geopolitical stability. This book believes that during the crisis, the United States can and should actively participate and play a leading role. But to do so, it must solve its domestic problems and formulate strategies that can respond to the interests of its different regions. The United States should promote greater and broader unity in Europe, and eventually absorb Russia and Turkey into a more dynamic and larger West. In New Oriental, the United States must be able to balance and appease the rising powers in the region, avoid direct military intervention in conflicts on the Asian mainland, maintain the existing alliance with Japan, and consolidate the cooperative relationship with China in the world. In this turbulent period, the United States should continue to play an important role in maintaining stability. However, if the United States does not reassess the challenges it faces, it will not succeed.
As an authority in the field of geostrategic theory, Brzezinski used his unparalleled expertise in foreign policy affairs to draw a strategic blueprint for the United States and encourage it to revitalize its global position by analyzing the reasons for the decline of the United States' global influence and the possible impact if the United States loses its world central position in 2025, Promote peace in the 21st century.
