“As the twentieth century
draws to a close, the United
States has emerged as the world’s only
superpower: no other nation possesses comparable military and economic power or
has interests that bestride the globe. Yet the critical question facing America remains
unanswered: What should be the nation’s global strategy for maintaining its
exceptional position in the world? Zbigniew Brzezinski tackles this question
head-on in this incisive and pathbreaking book.The Grand Chessboard presents
Brzezinski’s bold and provocative geostrategic vision for American preeminence
in the twenty-first century. Central to his analysis is the exercise of power
on the Eurasian landmass, which is home to the greatest part of the globe’s
population, natural resources, and economic activity. Stretching from Portugal
to the Bering Strait, from Lapland to Malaysia, Eurasia is the ”grand
chessboard” on which America’s supremacy will be ratified and challenged in the
years to come. The task facing the United States, he argues, is to manage the
conflicts and relationships in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East so that no
rival superpower arises to threaten our interests or our well-being.The heart
of The Grand Chessboard is Brzezinski’s analysis of the four critical regions
of Eurasia and of the stakes for America in each arena—Europe, Russia, Central
Asia, and East Asia. The crucial fault lines may seem familiar, but the
implosion of the Soviet Union has created new
rivalries and new relationships, and Brzezinski maps out the strategic
ramifications of the new geopolitical realities. He explains, for example: Why
France and Germany will play
pivotal geostrategic roles, whereas Britain
and Japan
will not. Why NATO expansion offers Russia
the chance to undo the mistakes of the past, and why Russia cannot afford to toss this
opportunity aside. Why the fate of Ukraine
and Azerbaijan are so
important to America.
Why viewing China
as a menace is likely to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Why America is not only the first truly global
superpower but also the last—and what the implications are for America’s
legacy. Brzezinski’s surprising and original conclusions often turn
conventional wisdom on its head as he lays the groundwork for a new and
compelling vision of America’s
vital interests. Once, again, Zbigniew Brzezinski provides our nation with a
philosophical and practical guide for maintaining and managing our hard-won
global power.”
