Strategiczna wizja. Kryzys amerykańskiej supremacji, potęga Chin i geopolityczny porządek świata
Zbigniew Brzeziński
Czy Chiny przejmą rolę Ameryki w światowej geopolityce? Nowe wydanie błyskotliwej analizy Zbigniewa Brzezińskiego Strategiczna wizja wraca w momencie kluczowym i dla świata, i Stanów Zjednoczonych. Ten bestseller "New York Timesa" - zachowuje wyjątkową aktualność. Pomaga zrozumieć- następujące na naszych oczach - dramatyczne przemiany geopolityczne i przyszłość przywództwa USA w świecie, w którym punkt ciężkości przesuwa się z Zachodu na Wschód. Co stanie się, jeśli Ameryka wycofa się ze swojej roli globalnego lidera? Czy świat czeka dominacja Chin, a może okres "chaotycznych zmian", z których nikt nie wyjdzie zwycięsko? Ta książka to jednak nie "pesymistyczna przepowiednia" z przeszłości, a raczej wezwanie do odnowy. Brzeziński pisze "upadek Ameryki nie jest nieuchronny; to wybór, nie przeznaczenie". Brzeziński wskazuje, że kluczowe dla Stanów Zjednoczonych będzie współdziałanie z Europą oraz zacieśnianie współpracy z krajami takimi jak np. Turcja, uświadamia jak wielkie geopolityczne znaczenie ma Rosja. Jednocześnie przestrzega, że Ameryka musi wypracować równowagę w relacjach z Chinami i innymi wschodzącymi potęgami Azji. Eksperci podkreślają ponadczasową wartość książki. Według magazynu "The New Republic" Brzeziński "odmawia lamentowania nad rzekomym schyłkiem Ameryki" i dostarcza "potrzebnego antidotum na modny dziś pesymizm". Recenzja "Kirkus Reviews" określa książkę jako "pilne wezwanie do historycznej odnowy, napisane przez jednego z najwybitniejszych amerykańskich strategów". "The Daily Beast" dodaje natomiast: "centralnym przesłaniem Strategicznej wizji jest ostrzeżenie, jak bardzo katastrofalny będzie świat, jeśli Ameryka pilnie nie zmobilizuje się do narodowej odnowy".
