What if the major global and regional powers of todayOs world came
into closer alignment to build a stronger international community
and shared approaches to twenty-first century threats and
challenges? The Stanley Foundation posed that question to
thirty-three top foreign policy analysts in Powers and Principles:
International Leadership in a Shrinking World. Contributing writers
were asked to describe the paths that nine powerful nations, a
regional union of twenty-seven states, and a multinational
corporation could take as constructive stakeholders in a
strengthened rules-based international order. Each chapter is an
assessment of what is politically possible (and impossible)_with a
description of the associated pressures and reference to the
countryOs geostrategic position, economy, society, history, and
political system and culture. To provide a perspective from the
inside and counterweight, each essay is accompanied by a critical
reaction by a prominent analyst commentator from the given country.
Powers and Principles is aimed at both reflective practitioners of
policy and policy-relevant scholars.
