Die streitbare Vision einer Weltordnung des 21. Jahrhunderts aus der Feder des Chefredakteurs des „Economist“. Bill Emmott benennt die drängendsten weltpolitischen Fragen unserer Zeit: Wird die USA unangefochtene Hegemonialmacht sein? Wird Europa je mit einer Stimme sprechen? Welche Rolle strebt Russland innerhalb der EU an?
Emmott takes a more structured as well as a wider approach to his subject, laying out with customary skill and depth a range of the challenges before the world's liberal democracies ... Emmott is both sobering and mildly reassuring ... This is all done with a scope and style that any reader will admire. Douglas Murray Times

"The attacks on September 11, 2001, shook the rich West out of its complacency: suddenly, peace seemed to be in peril. Already it had become clear that prosperity was endangered. Campaigns were being mounted against the purported evils of capitalist globalization - inequality, pollution, and financial instability - and America's high-tech stock market boom had turned rapidly to bust. How had it all happened? During the decade following the end of the cold war, prospects had looked so rosy: peace prevailed among the world's great powers, billions of people were joining the world market economy, and great waves of technological change were driving economies forward."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Emmott emphasizes the need for all parties to perceive a potential US-China confrontation as "inevitably catastrophic and therefore inconceivable," highlighting the importance of strategic dialogue and cooperation to maintain regional stability.
