Statecraft: And How to Restore America's Standing in the World Book

In this wise and thought-provoking book, the renowned peace negotiator Dennis Ross shows that Americaâ??s current foreign policy problems stem from the Bush administrationâ??s inability to use the tools of statecraft to advance our national interests. Ross explains that in the globalized worldâ??with its fluid borders, terrorist networks, and violent unrestâ??statecraft is more necessary than ever. In vivid chapters, he outlines how statecraft helped shape a new world order after 1989. He shows how the failure of statecraft in Iraq and throughout the Middle East has undercut the United States and makes clear that only statecraft can check the rise of China and the danger of a nuclear Iran. He draws on his expertise to reveal the art of successful negotiation. And he shows how the next president could resolve todayâ??s problems and define a realistic, ambitious foreign policy. Statecraft is â??an essential book for our timeâ? (Walter Isaacson).Read More
