From one of the world’s most influential commentators on
international affairs, chief foreign affairs columnist for
the Financial Times, comes a stark warning about a gathering
global political crisis. Successive presidents have welcomed globalization and the
rise of China. But with American unemployment stubbornly
high and U.S. power facing new challenges, the stage is set
for growing rivalry between America and China. The European
Union is also ripping itself apart. The win-win logic of
globalization is giving way to a zero-sum logic of political
and economic struggle. The new world we now live in, an age of anxiety, is a less
prosperous, less stable world, with old ideas overthrown and
new ideologies and powers on the rise. Rachman shows how
zero-sum logic is thwarting efforts to deal with global
problems from Afghanistan to unemployment, climate change to
nuclear proliferation. This timely and important book details why international
politics is now more dangerous and volatile—and suggests
what can be done to break away from the crippling logic of a
zero-sum world.
