Yet as we confront a radically changed world, it has become indisputably clear that the terms of that policy have failed. Washington’s insistence that a market economy is compatible with the common good, its faith in the idea of the “West” and its “special relationships,” its conviction that global military primacy is the key to a stable and sustainable world order—these have brought endless wars and a succession of moral and material disasters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a bold reconception of America’s place in the world, informed by thinking from across the political spectrum, Andrew J. Bacevich—founder and president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, a bipartisan Washington think tank dedicated to foreign policy—lays down a new approach—one that is based on moral pragmatism, mutual coexistence, and war as a last resort. Confronting the threats of the future—accelerating climate change, a shift in the international balance of power, and the ascendance of information technology over brute weapons of war—his vision calls for nothing less than a profound overhaul of our understanding of national security.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrucial and provocative, \u003ci\u003eAfter the Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e sets out new principles to guide the once-but-no-longer sole superpower as it navigates a transformed world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holt, Henry \u0026 Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46601300246769,"sku":"9781250796004","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781250796004_p0.jpg?v=1765507349","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781250796004","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
