A Foreign Affairs Best Book of 2016 Today, nations increasingly
carry out geopolitical combat through economic means. Policies
governing everything from trade and investment to energy and
exchange rates are wielded as tools to win diplomatic allies,
punish adversaries, and coerce those in between. Not so in the
United States, however. America still too often reaches for the gun
over the purse to advance its interests abroad. The result is a
playing field sharply tilting against the United States.
"Geoeconomics, the use of economic instruments to advance foreign
policy goals, has long been a staple of great-power politics. In
this impressive policy manifesto, Blackwill and Harris argue that
in recent decades, the United States has tended to neglect this
form of statecraft, while China, Russia, and other illiberal states
have increasingly employed it to Washington's disadvantage." -G.
John Ikenberry, Foreign Affairs "A readable and lucid primer...The
book defines the extensive topic and opens readers' eyes to its
prevalence throughout history...[Presidential] candidates who care
more about protecting American interests would be wise to heed the
advice of War by Other Means and take our geoeconomic toolkit more
seriously. -Jordan Schneider, Weekly Standard
