" Bringing Order to Anarchy crosses boundaries in every sense. It looks back and ahead, domestically and internationally, regionally and globally. Writing with clarity and purpose, Charles Kupchan puts forward an optimistic yet grounded vision of a contemporary world order, one premised on addressing America's internal challenges and adopting a U.S. foreign policy that avoids the twin perils of trying to do too little or too much."--Richard Haass, author of The World: A Brief Introduction and The Bill of Obligations: The Ten Habits of Good Citizens " Bringing Order to Anarchy is a magisterial account of the great transformations that are upending and reshaping the old American-centered liberal world order. Kupchan draws on a lifetime of scholarship on the theory and history of geopolitics to map the world-historical forces pushing and pulling the United States and the rest of humanity into a brave new world. The book's urgent call for building a new architecture of global governance--anchored in a reinvented concert of great powers--deserves wide debate.

"--G. John Ikenberry, Albert G. Milbank Professor of Politics and International Affairs, Princeton University "Rapid technological change, the diffusion of power within the international system, and political dysfunction in the democracies have combined to make the world a disorderly and therefore dangerous place. In Bringing Order to Anarchy , Charles Kupchan offers an acute assessment of the causes of the current global disorder and a provocative, clear-eyed series of proposals, informed by the history of the last two hundred years, for an international order capable of assuring peace and prosperity that fits the realities of the twenty-first century."--Michael Mandelbaum, author of The American Way of Foreign Policy: Ideology, Economics, Democracy "Kupchan doesn't pull any punches in diagnosing the causes of the present global disorder, calling out failings across the political spectrum. He also has the courage to propose a cure: a specific set of structures that will enable nations to come together formally and informally to establish peace and security and tackle existential problems. An important and provocative read."--Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America.
