All measures short of war (Yale University Press)

A groundbreaking look at the future of great power competition in an age of globalization and what the United States can do in response The two decades after the Cold War saw unprecedented cooperation between the major powers as the world converged on a model of liberal international order.

Now, great power competition is back and the liberal order is in jeopardy. Russia and China are increasingly revisionist in their regions. The Middle East appears to be unraveling. And many Americans question why the United States ought to lead.

What will great power competition look like in the decades ahead$197 Will the liberal world order survive$198 What impact will geopolitics have on globalization$199 And, what strategy should the United States pursue to succeed in an increasingly competitive world$200 In this book Thomas Wright explains how major powers will compete fiercely even as they try to avoid war with each other.

Wright outlines a new American strategy--Responsible Competition--to navigate these challenges and strengthen the liberal order.
