Fourth: From Zbig

For the foreign policy intellectuals, former national security advisor Zbgniew Bzresinski (Mica's dad) argues far more conservatively about America's future role in the world than does Professsor Bacevich.  This takes the world as it is and is therefore more likely to affect the so-alled defense intellectuals than Washington Rules.  Obviously, more for the IR-inclined than the domestic-policy/politics oriented crowd.

  1. DT I hear couple of my friends read this book and found very interesting. I would totally love to have this book in our class because it brings the international perspective. Understanding the implications of the distribution from West to East is something that should concern everyone in terms of understanding today’s world happening. I mean the question of the Asian Tigers and China are question that for one might not be as a big deal because they believe “United States” cannot be surpassed at any level? But if it does really I would like to hear other opinion of how do they think the current world of politics will be shaped? Again, I think this is one of the books that we can potentially use if others would like to get more into those question and other arguments that this book offers?

  2. I would also like to read this book in class. The rising power of the East always seems like a hot topic when it comes to American politics as well as the international scene, and I it looks like it would be a very interesting read. I also think that the blueprint that he lays out to strengthen the West could lead to interesting discussion.
