Author Description

The United States is facing a completely different set of challenges than during the Cold War, and we've yet to name those challenges and deal with them. In this book, former National Security Advisors Lindsay and Daalder argue that America's power, and the power of its allies, is shrinking every day. In order to continue the West's expansion of democracy and economic opportunity, we'll need to work together far more than we are now. However, the current international institutions, they argue, can no longer get the job done. Instead, they argue for a new body, a concert of democracies, where only the world's most free nations--rich and poor--can make important decisions about the fate of the world, together.
