STRATEGIC VISION - ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI KARTONIE...

Provocative... a clear-eyed  sharp-tongued assessment of this hinge moment in time  when the
world's centre of gravity is shifting'from the West to the East.'-Michiko Kakutani  New York
TimesBy 1991  following the disintegration first of the Soviet bloc and then of the Soviet
Union itself  the United States was left standing tall as the only global super-power. The 21st
century seemed destined to be yet another American century. But that optimism did not last long
as the stock market bubble and the costly foreign unilateralism of the younger Bush presidency
as well as the financial catastrophe of 2008 jolted America - and much of the West - into a
sudden recognition of its systemic vulnerability to unregulated greed. In Strategic Vision  
esteemed author and former National Security Advisor  Zbigniew Brzezinski argues that to quell
mounting anxieties about the growing capacity for Eastern economic and technological innovation
America must define and pursue a long-term geopolitical vision. Only in this way will it become
more strategically deliberate and historically enlightened in its global engagement with the
new East. A tactical blueprint  Strategic Vision argues that without an America that is
economically vital  socially appealing  responsibly powerful  and capable of sustaining an
intelligent foreign engagement  the geopolitical prospects for the West could become
increasingly grave.
