Stumbling Giant
“A thoughtful reconsideration of China’s actual place in the new world order, based on reality rather than fanciful speculation.” —Kirkus Reviews Can anything prevent China surpassing the United States and becoming the world’s top superpower? While predictions that China’s rise to global supremacy is a near-certainty have resulted in this belief becoming almost conventional wisdom, this book boldly counters such widely held assumptions. Investment strategist Timothy Beardson brings to light the daunting array of challenges that today confront China, as well as the inadequacy of the policy responses. Threats to China come on many fronts, Beardson shows, and by their number and she...
Indo-Pacific Strategies
This book focuses on the Indo-Pacific region’s growing prominence as the world’s major powers gravitate toward this space to expand their influence. With dynamic shifts taking place in the globe’s most strategically volatile region, Indo-Pacific Strategies aims at clarifying the geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific, expounded both as a strategic concept and nascent region, thus contributing to the burgeoning policy and academic debate. The book offers indispensable insights and appropriate remedies to maintain the rules-based international order as threatened by China’s increasingly assertive and bellicose posturing. It offers up-to-date analyses of Covid-19-related geopolitical trends, t...
Two Worlds of International Relations
The aims of this book are to discover how significant academic work in international relations has become for practitioners involved in policy formulation and implementation, and to examine the impact of the policy community on academic work and academic values. On the academic side, theoretical, historical and political economy perspectives are presented. On the practitioner side, there are contributions from diplomats, lawyers and parliamentarians. The principal question at issue is whether, if there is a natural partnership between the modern academic and foreign policy makers, there needs to be preserved a respectful distance between the two worlds.
Global Energy Governance
A Brookings Institution Press and Global Public Policy Institute publication The global market for oil and gas resources is rapidly changing. Three major trends—the rise of new consumers, the increasing influence of state players, and concerns about climate change—are combining to challenge existing regulatory structures, many of which have been in place for a half-century. Global Energy Governance analyzes the energy market from an institutionalist perspective and offers practical policy recommendations to deal with these new challenges. Much of the existing discourse on energy governance deals with hard security issues but neglects the challenges to global governance. Global Energy Gov...
États-Unis aujourd'hui (Les)
L’Amérique est-elle à un tournant de son histoire ? À cette question, depuis le 11 septembre 2001, les Américains répondent oui sans hésiter. Mais si tel est bien le cas, comment les États-Unis changent-ils ? Dix essais, écrits par des experts de tout premier ordre, pour la plupart américains et de sensibilités différentes, analysent en profondeur cette évolution, sur dix thèmes concrets, concernant aussi bien l’équilibre des pouvoirs ou les modes de régulation que la place des États-Unis dans le monde, qui divisent les élites dirigeantes américaines. Car l’Amérique est avant tout un lieu de pluralisme ! Pour mieux saisir la complexité et la diversité des États-Unis, trop souvent sous-estimées en Europe. Guillaume Parmentier dirige le Centre français sur les États-Unis (CFE) à l’Ifri, un centre de recherches indépendant ayant pour mission d’étudier et de faire comprendre les développements politiques, économiques et sociaux aux États-Unis. Contributions de Lionel Barber, Charles E. Cook, David S. Evans, David C. Gompert, Sylvie Kauffmann, Charles A. Kupchan, Thomas E. Mann, Vincent Michelot, Jeffrey Rosen, Gary J. Schmitt.
Dialogues in Data Power

A Divided Republic
A bold interpretation of contemporary French political culture that uses current political debates to understand how the French engage with politics.
Dar Al Islam--the Mediterranean, the World System and the Wider Europe
With the process of a 'wider Europe' (EU-Commission President Romano Prodi's 'ring of friends') that extends from Marrakech in Morocco to St Petersburg in Russia gathering speed, the growing rift between Europe and America also is about how to deal politically with the countries of the Mediterranean-Muslim world. The house of Islam (Dar al Islam) was pivotal to the European path to the Renaissance and to the re-discovery of classic Greek philosophy. The Mediterranean policy of the European Union aims at a positive and co-operative relationship with the region. A successful integration of the Mediterranean South would have tremendous and positive repercussions for regional and world peace. World-wide leading experts from the field of world systems analysis, economics, integration theory, political science, theology and area studies, agnostics, Christians, Jews and Muslims alike discuss the issue with European decision makers. The outcome is an interdisciplinary evaluation of this projected export of peace, co-operation, dialogue and stability in the framework of world centre-periphery relationships.
