  <description><![CDATA[The status of the United States as a world power, and the nature of power itself, are at a historic turning point. It is essential that we understand and adapt to the new security environment in which we find ourselves. <br/><br/>Two of the most respected figures in American foreign policy are Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft, both former National Security Advisors under markedly different administrations. In <em>America and the World</em> they dissect, in spontaneous and unscripted conversations moderated by David Ignatius, the most significant foreign policy challenges facing the U.S.: the Middle East, Russia, China, Europe, the Developing World, the changing nature of power in a globalized world, and what Brzezinski has called the global political awakening.  While one author is a Republican and the other a Democrat, they broadly agree on the need to adapt to a new international environment. Where they disagree, their exchanges are always both deeply informed and provocative. <br/><br/><em>America and the World</em> will define the center of responsible opinion on American foreign policy at a time when the nation's decisions could determine how long it remains a superpower.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[The status of the United States as a world power, and the nature of power itself, are at a historic turning point. It is essential that we understand and adapt to the new security environment in which we find ourselves. <br/><br/>Two of the most respected figures in American foreign policy are Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft, both former National Security Advisors under markedly different administrations. In <em>America and the World</em> they dissect, in spontaneous and unscripted conversations moderated by David Ignatius, the most significant foreign policy challenges facing the U.S.: the Middle East, Russia, China, Europe, the Developing World, the changing nature of power in a globalized world, and what Brzezinski has called the global political awakening.  While one author is a Republican and the other a Democrat, they broadly agree on the need to adapt to a new international environment. Where they disagree, their exchanges are always both deeply informed and provocative. <br/><br/><em>America and the World</em> will define the center of responsible opinion on American foreign policy at a time when the nation's decisions could determine how long it remains a superpower.]]>

    <![CDATA[The status of the United States as a world power, and the nature of power itself, are at a historic turning point. It is essential that we understand and adapt to the new security environment in which we find ourselves. <br/><br/>Two of the most respected figures in American foreign policy are Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft, both former National Security Advisors under markedly different administrations. In <em>America and the World</em> they dissect, in spontaneous and unscripted conversations moderated by David Ignatius, the most significant foreign policy challenges facing the U.S.: the Middle East, Russia, China, Europe, the Developing World, the changing nature of power in a globalized world, and what Brzezinski has called the global political awakening.  While one author is a Republican and the other a Democrat, they broadly agree on the need to adapt to a new international environment. Where they disagree, their exchanges are always both deeply informed and provocative. <br/><br/><em>America and the World</em> will define the center of responsible opinion on American foreign policy at a time when the nation's decisions could determine how long it remains a superpower.]]>

    <![CDATA[The status of the United States as a world power, and the nature of power itself, are at a historic turning point. It is essential that we understand and adapt to the new security environment in which we find ourselves. <br/><br/>Two of the most respected figures in American foreign policy are Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft, both former National Security Advisors under markedly different administrations. In <em>America and the World</em> they dissect, in spontaneous and unscripted conversations moderated by David Ignatius, the most significant foreign policy challenges facing the U.S.: the Middle East, Russia, China, Europe, the Developing World, the changing nature of power in a globalized world, and what Brzezinski has called the global political awakening.  While one author is a Republican and the other a Democrat, they broadly agree on the need to adapt to a new international environment. Where they disagree, their exchanges are always both deeply informed and provocative. <br/><br/><em>America and the World</em> will define the center of responsible opinion on American foreign policy at a time when the nation's decisions could determine how long it remains a superpower.]]>
