In 1991, the United States was the only global superpower.
It seemed that the 21st century, like the 20th, would belong
to America. Then came the stock market bubble, the costly
foreign unilateralism of the younger Bush presidency, and
the financial catastrophe of 2008. Meanwhile, China was
rising and the Middle East was awakening politically. Today
it is clear that America is vulnerable—to domestic and
international decline and unregulated greed. Speaking from decades of experience, Brzezinski considers
the implications of the changing distribution of global
power, ponders why America’s global appeal is waning,
speculates on the likely geopolitical consequences if
America declines by 2025 (will China assume America’s
central role in world affairs?), and describes a vision of a
resurgent America: responsive to challenges, strategically
deliberate, and historically enlightened in its global
engagement with the new East.
