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. Almost single-handedly responsible for transforming Singapore into a Western-style economic success, he offers a unique perspective on the geopolitics of East and West. 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. This little book belongs on the reading list of every world leader―including the one who takes the oath of office on January 20, 2013.

America's Great-Power Opportunity: Revitalizing U.S. Foreign Policy to Meet the Challenges of Strategic Competition

Review\n"The United States needs to reestablish itself as a great power independent of its rivalry with Russia and China....Ali Wyne's basic message that it must rebuild itself at home and reposition itself abroad is timely and correct. America's great-power status cannot be reactive; it's about reaffirmation." 
David Ignatius, columnist and associate editor of The Washington Post\n“Important” 
Ishaan Tharoor, The Washington Post\n“An important book, combining bold thinking with nuanced, careful argumentation. Ali Wyne sees great-power competition for the political and military security blanket that it is, and is willing to throw off the covers and analyze America’s true interests.” 
Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO of New America and author of Renewal: From Crisis to Transformation in Our Lives, Work, and Politics 
“Is ‘great-power competition’ the right framework for U.S. foreign policy? In this timely and important book, Ali Wyne tackles a central question of American grand strategy. Deeply researched and well argued, it shows how the United States can answer this crucial question by investing anew in its own competitive strengths. Anyone interested in America’s role in the world should read this book.” 
Joseph S. Nye, Jr., Dean Emeritus of the Harvard Kennedy School and author of Do Morals Matter? Presidents and Foreign Policy from FDR to Trump 
“In the first book-length analysis of the ‘great-power competition’ paradigm that has seized much of Washington, Ali Wyne challenges us to think beyond simplistic zero-sum competition to constructive or even productive competition that also recognizes interests the U.S. and China share. He makes the case for a U.S. foreign policy that is both more disciplined and more confident.” 
Graham Allison, Douglas Dillon Professor of Government at Harvard University and author of Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides’s Trap? 
“In this excellent book, Ali Wyne offers an insightful critique of recent efforts to focus U.S. national security strategy around the concept of great-power competition, arguing that with this approach, American strategists risk losing their moorings instead of finding an anchor. His admonitions and recommendations for a more circumspect policy that upholds the United States’ own domestic renewal as a key goal could not be more timely.” 
Fiona Hill, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of There Is Nothing for You Here: Finding Opportunity in the Twenty-First Century 
“Ali Wyne has produced a major contribution to the much-needed debate about U.S. foreign policy towards China and Russia today. He not only provides insightful, nuanced diagnostics about the nature of the challenges they pose, but also outlines a wise and sophisticated framework of prescriptions for U.S. policymakers that avoids simplistic bumper stickers, aligns goals with resources, and provides an affirmative agenda often missing in this policy discussion. Every current and future U.S. policymaker should read this book. Every professor teaching international relations should assign this book. And anyone in the world seeking to understand great-power relations today should get America’s Great-Power Opportunity.” 
Michael A. McFaul, Director of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University and former U.S. Ambassador to Russia 
“Beware a widespread consensus in Washington foreign policy circles. That is the message of Ali Wyne’s insightful look at the widely held view that great-power competition now must stand as the foundation of U.S. foreign and national security policy. Wyne offers a must-read critique of the new consensus and smartly suggests that reaffirming the promise of democracy and withstanding the stresses of globalization offer a better, more visionary guide to America’s future engagement abroad.” 
Ivo H. Daalder, President of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and former U.S. Ambassador to NATO
