"There is widespread agreement that something in American foreign policy is broken. Policies and habits of mind left over from the Cold War suddenly seem outdated, almost irrelevant. New challenges have arisen - the sudden prominence of terrorists and other non-state actors, the ascendancy of China as a world power, a widespread distrust of American intentions around the world - to which our responses are halting or ineffective. It's essential that we understand and adapt to a new and ever-changing international environment. In America and the World Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft dissect, in lively and unscripted conversations moderated by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, the most significant foreign policy challenges facing the U.S."--BOOK JACKET.
