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
Iran: The Nuclear Challenge maps the objectives, tools, and
strategies for dealing with one of the most vexing issues facing
the United States and global community today. The book brings
together leading experts-CFR's Elliott Abrams, Robert D. Blackwill,
Robert M. Danin, Richard A. Falkenrath, Matthew Kroenig, Meghan L.
O'Sullivan, and Ray Takeyh-on the issues and contingencies
surrounding Iran's nuclear program, including sanctions,
negotiations, U.S. and Israeli military options, regime change, and
how to deal with a latent or actual Iranian nuclear weapons
capability. This volume presents one of the clearest pictures of
Iran's nuclear program to date, along with the various policy
options available to the United States and others and their
potential consequences.
The prescriptions contained in this report seek to intensify a
broader and more comprehensive transatlantic partnership. Some
reinforce current administration policy, especially with respect to
European security and political economy, while other policy
suggestions go against administration policies, particularly
outside Europe. The entire thrust of the ambitious prescriptions,
however, requires more vigorous and active presidential and
congressional leadership than has often been seen in recent years.
The most important departure from present U.S. policy is the
report's emphasis on drawing Europe, over time, much further into a
global strategic partnership with the United States in order to
help shape the new era.
