Description

In The Grand Chessboard , renowned geostrategist Zbigniew Brzezinski delivers a brutally honest and provocative vision for American preeminence in the twenty-first century. The task facing the United States, he argues, is to become the sole political arbiter in Eurasian lands and to prevent the emergence of any rival power threatening our material and diplomatic interests. The Eurasian landmass, home to the greatest part of the globe's population, natural resources, and economic activity, is the grand chessboard" on which America's supremacy will be ratified and challenged in the years to come. In this landmark work of public policy and political science, Brzezinski outlines a ground-breaking and powerful blueprint for America's vital interests in the modern world. In a revised edition with a new epilogue, Brzezinski brings his seminal work up to date with commentary on the latest global developments, including the war in Ukraine, the re-emergence of Russia, and the rise of China.… (more)

Geopolitičku dimenziju "novog strateškog koncepta" Severnoatlantskog pakta razradio je Zbignjev Bžežinski. U nizu govora i članaka i, naročito, u knjizi "Velika šahovska tabla: američki primat i njegovi geopolitički ciljevi", objavljenoj 1997. godine, on je evoluirao od doktrine ljudskih

prava koju je zagovarao krajem sedamdesetih godina kada se nalazio na mestu savetnika za nacionalnu bezbednost predsednika Kartera, ka klasičnoj realpolitici. Prilikom promocije svoje knjige u Parizu, on je ovaj prividni paradoks lakonski protumačio rečima: "Ja sam razradio doktrinu kao najbolji način da se destabilizuje Sovjetski Savez. I to je uspelo." Njegovi kritičari dodaju da Bžežinski u to vreme nije bio angažovan samo na ideološkom frontu borbe protiv SSSR već i u praktičnoj politici koja je za cilj imala da diskredituje i destabilizuje Sovjetski Savez. U intervjuu francuskom nedeljniku Le Nouvel Observateur to je potvrdio i sam Bžežinski izjavom da su SAD podrškom mudžahedinima spretno gurale Moskvu u vojnu avanturu u Avganistanu koja će odvesti Sovjetski Savez na put bez povratka: "Mi nismo gurali Ruse da intervenišu, ali smo svesno povećavali mogućnost da oni to učine. Ta tajna operacija bila je odlična ideja. Njen cilj je bio da se Rusi navedu u avganistansku zamku." Nije isključeno da je u sličnu zamku upala i postdejtonska Jugoslavija na Kosovu.

This writer is a heavyweight security policy advisor for Carter. As a US-sceptic, it's a challenge to read someone who actually believes US hegemonic power is a force for good, and that the world would be more chaotic and violent without it. It predates neo-con excesses, and it shows, but is still
