American presidents from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama have welcomed him to the White House; British prime ministers from Margaret Thatcher to Tony Blair have recognized his wisdom; and business leaders from Rupert Murdoch to Rex Tillerson, CEO of Exxon Mobil, have praised his accomplishments. This book gathers key insights from interviews, speeches, and Lee's voluminous published writings and presents them in an engaging question and answer format.Lee offers his assessment of China's future, asserting, among other things, that "China will want to share this century as co-equals with the U.S." He affirms the United States' position as the world's sole superpower but expresses dismay at the vagaries of its political system. He offers strategic advice for dealing with China and goes on to discuss India's future, Islamic terrorism, economic growth, geopolitics and globalization, and democracy. Lee does not pull his punches, offering his unvarnished opinions on multiculturalism, the welfare state, education, and the free market.

From an eminent international security scholar, an urgent examination of the conditions that could produce a catastrophic conflict between the United States and China—and how it might be prevented.China and the United States are heading toward a war neither wants. The reason is Thucydides’s when a rising power threatens to displace a ruling one, violence is the likeliest result. Over the past five hundred years, these conditions have occurred sixteen times; war broke out in twelve.At the time of publication, an unstoppable China approached an immovable America, and both Xi Jinping and Donald Trump promised to make their countries “great again,” the seventeenth case was looking grim—it still is.

This phenomenon, as old as history itself, is named for the Greek historian's assessment of why the Peloponnesian War broke out: a rising power threatened to displace a ruling one. Over the past 500 years, such a struggle has occurred between major powers just sixteen times. In twelve cases, it resulted in war. Today, as an unstoppable China approaches an immovable America, and both Xi Jinping and Donald Trump promise to make their countries 'great again', the seventeenth case looks grim. Lee Kuan Yew: Grand strategist and founder of modern Singapore offers key insights and controversial opinions on globalization, geopolitics, economic growth, and democracy. When Lee Kuan Yew speaks, presidents, prime ministers, diplomats, and CEOs listen. Lee, the founding father of modern Singapore and its prime minister from 1959 to 1990, has honed his wisdom during more than fifty years on the world stage.

La Chine et les États-Unis se dirigent vers une guerre dont ils ne veulent pourtant ni l’un ni l’autre. Pour éclairer ce paradoxe,Graham Allison invoque ce qu’il appelle le Piège de Thucydide, qui se met en place quand une puissance émergente vient défier la puissance régnante. C’est Athènes se dressant face à Sparte. Au cours des cinq derniers siècles, cette configuration mortelle s’est présentée seize fois ; à douze reprises, elle s’est soldée par une guerre. Aujourd’hui, alors que les gouvrenements chinois comme américain prétendent « restaurer la grandeur » de leur pays, la dix-septième occurrence se profile à l’horizon de manière sinistre. À moins que Pékin n’accepte de modérer ses ambitions ou que Washington ne renonce à sa suprématie dans le Pacifique, un conflit commercial, une cyberattaque ou un simple incident maritime pourraient bien entraîner une rapide escalade vers la guerre…Vers la guerre offre la meilleure grille de lecture pour comprendre les relations sino-américaines au XXIe siècle. En s’appuyant sur de nombreux cas historiques, Graham Allison rappelle que les puissances rivales d’hier ont su bien souvent préserver la paix. Reste à espérer que la Chine et les États-Unis sauront prendre les difficiles mesures qu’il préconise, seules à même d’éviter le désastre.

Scheduled warb If the hegemonic powers and emerging powers meet, the probability of war is closer than 80% to US-China war. What will be the destiny of the Korean Peninsula? Klaus Schub, Henry Kissinger, Niel Ferguson * Amazon, New York Times Bestseller * National Bestsellers * Amazon 2017 Best History Books * * New York Times Noteworthy Books of the Year - * The Sunday Times, Financial Times Book of the A sharp vision of the tension, distrust and dilemma between the US and China b Now China and the United States do not want any war . When the emerging powers threaten the ruling forces, the easiest result is the "trap of the Thucydides," which is the war. Historian Thucydides explains that the Peloponnesian war, which had ruined ancient Greece, occurred because of the fear of Spartan hegemony over the rise of Athens in the emerging country. Over the past 500 years, this has occurred 16 times, 12 of which eventually resulted in a war. Now, the 17th case is under way. China, which is emerging rapidly, is likely to face head-on collision with the supreme supremacy of the United States. Graeme Alison, a leading political scientist of our time, explains why the "trap of Thucydides" is the best lens to understand the relationship between the United States and China and tells us now what painful steps we must take to avoid disaster. iframe
