just after #9-11 I was asked by Cambridge Review of International Affairs to author an analysis of the W. administration's "war on terror" based on my just-published essay in @IntSecHarvard. the result was "belfercenter.org/publication…." sad to say it proved uncannily prescient

Among the important ideas put forward by @MearsheimerJ about international order: a tripolar great-power system, dominated by #US_China_rivalry; #Russia remains a weaker third pole; #India is the only plausible fourth entrant; #liberal_hegemony gives way to #balance_of_power politics; flashpoints in #East_Asia and the prospect of #nuclear escalation make the coming half-century far more dangerous than the last. He does not expect China to surpass the US, but argues that a powerful China gives Washington and Moscow strong incentives to cooperate, and sees economic, technological, and military power as crucial to the competition.

When Trump “uses bellicose threats as a first resort,” he risks exposing the limits of U.S. military force—and emboldening adversaries to resist, write @reidpauly and Matthew Cebul. “Effective coercion requires more than heavy-handed threats.”
