THE WORLD - RICHARD HAASS KARTONIERT (TB)

An invaluable primer from the president of the Council on Foreign Relations that will help
anyone navigate our fast-changing world  Today's headlines generate more questions than
answers. Should the United States attack North Korea and Iran or negotiate with them? What are
the implications of climate change and what should be done about it? Are tariffs a good idea?
What do we owe refugees and others who want to enter our country? Should democratic countries
promote democracy and human rights elsewhere? What can be done to stop terrorism? Are the
United States and China heading for a second cold war-and  if so  what can be done to head it
off?  The World provides readers with the essential background needed to answer these and other
critical questions. Readers will become more informed  discerning citizens  better able to
arrive at sound  independent judgments and to hold elected representatives to account. In short
this book will make readers more globally literate. Although the United States is bordered by
two oceans  those oceans are not moats. And the so-called Vegas rule-what happens there stays
there-does not apply in today's globalized world to anyone anywhere. U.S. foreign policy is
uniquely American  but the world Americans seek to shape is not.  Explaining complex ideas with
wisdom and clarity  Richard Haass's The World is an evergreen book that will remain relevant
and useful even as history continues to unfold.
