Kupchan contends that the next challenge to America’s might is fast emerging. It comes not from the Islamic world or an ascendant China, but from an integrating Europe that is rising as a counterweight to the United States. Decades of strategic partnership across the Atlantic are giving way to renewed geopolitical competition. The waning of U.S. primacy will be expedited by America’s own ambivalence about remaining the globe’s guardian and by the impact of the digital age on the country’s politics and its role in the world.
By deftly mining the lessons of history to cast light on the present and future, Kupchan explains how America and the world should prepare for the more complex, more unstable road ahead.  aUnited States--Foreign relations967073  aUnited States--Foreign relations--1989967074  aKUPCHAN (Charles A)967075  2ddccDB  c225969d225969  00102ddc40708PSaALbALd2014-12-01l0o327.73 KUPEpD05377r2022-12-20 00:00:00w2022-12-20yDBzDonated by V.
