The Next American Century - How The U.S. Can Thrive As Other Powers Rise

Review: New York Review of Books, April 17 Issue:

"Hachigian and Sutphen argue persuasively that all of these [European] powers see their interest as lying in a cooperative world system rather than a contest for primacy, and that the US's interest lies in seeking 'strategic collaboration' with them, rather than attempting to 'contain' them in a vain attempt to perpetuate its own 'primacy.'… Let us hope that theirs is the voice of the future, for if it is, there is hope."
