Strategic vision

The world today faces a crisis of influence and power, resulting from the dramatic shift of its center of gravity from the West to the East, and from the dynamic political awakening of people across the globe, and from the deterioration of America's performance both domestically and internationally. This crisis poses serious long-term challenges not only to American interests but also to the survival of some threatened countries, and to the initiative to make joint efforts against specific global dangers such as nuclear proliferation and climate change, and to overall broader geopolitical stability. In the book "Strategic Vision," former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski argues that America is capable of effectively navigating through this troubled period and is obliged to do so, but in order to achieve that, it must solve its internal problems and adopt a strategy responsive to its various regional interests. America must strengthen greater and broader unity in Europe, ultimately leading to the inclusion of Russia and Turkey into a more vibrant and expansive West. As for the East, it must work on achieving balance and reconciliation among the rising regional powers, avoid direct military involvement in the conflicts of the Asian continental bloc, while maintaining its existing alliance with Japan, and establish a cooperative global relationship with China. America must continue to play a decisive role in maintaining stability in this turbulent era, but it will not succeed without a comprehensive reassessment of the array of challenges it faces. And here is Zbigniew Brzezinski, with his unparalleled expertise in foreign policy issues, providing America with a strategic roadmap that leads to reactivating its global standing and laying the foundation for a new century of stability.
