Alam Fi Heas Beas | Richard N Haass

All things fall apart and fall apart, as the center is unable to catch them. The rules, policies, and institutions that have guided the entire world since the end of World War II have largely exhausted themselves in the face of globalized challenges, from terrorism and nuclear proliferation to climate change and cyberspace.

In this book, Richard Haas explains How we got to where we are now, and proposes a new world order, based on a new approach to the principle of sovereignty. It also details the approach that the United States should adopt in confronting China and Russia, and what it should do in the face of its impotent policies and growing debt, And the lack of national consensus on the nature of its relations with the countries of the world. All this through a wise vision, rich in historical references and contemporary examples.
In the end, Haass asserts that the world cannot enjoy prosperity and stability in the absence of the United States, and that the United States cannot be a force of prosperity and stability for the world, unless its political leaders reach and its citizens to a common understanding.
