A World in Disarray

A World in Disarray by Richard Haass.

Richard Haass examines an international order under strain and the limits of American power to shape it. His subject is the widening gap between inherited institutions and a world that no longer fits comfortably within them.

Read it as an invitation to distinguish power from control. The discussion begins where policy becomes difficult: deciding what a country can accomplish, what it owes others and what it must learn to live with.
