Válka jinými prostředky - Geoekonomika a státnictví – Blackwill Robert Dean (2021)

In this book, former diplomat and author of numerous publications on international relations and politics Robert D. Blackwill and former adviser to Hillary Clinton on economic foreign-policy issues Jennifer M. Harris show how the United States, the world’s strongest economy, has gradually neglected economic instruments in pursuing its geopolitical goals and increasingly turned to armed force and other means. They explain why geoeconomics ceased to be a significant element of U.S. foreign policy after the Second World War, and what consequences this may have in a globalized world where new powers are emerging on the international political scene and effectively using a broad range of economic instruments to pursue their foreign-policy goals. The authors analyse the potential and practical possibilities of using economic tools to achieve geopolitical aims and present many examples of their successful use by governments in countries including China, India and Russia. Written with expertise, clarity and accessibility, the book offers valuable insights into political economy, international relations and geopolitics, placing them within a broad social context.
