Population Decline And The Remaking Of Great Power Politics - Hardcover

Rare Book

"Demography isn't destiny. But demography is important, and its implications are often surprising. The essays in this book avoid the twin traps of fatalism or wishful thinking. At once remarkably informative and intellectually challenging, they force us to confront realities one might prefer to avoid but also invite us to think in imaginative ways about how to deal with global aging and population decline."--William Kristol, editor, Weekly Standard--William Kristol

"We live in an era of many challenges. But few are as certain as global aging--and few are likely to have as large and enduring an impact on the shape of the world order. Planning national security strategy without regard for the implications of demographic change is like setting sail without a map or a compass. The essays in this volume offer a wealth of insightful analysis that will help those navigating tomorrow's turbulent geopolitical waters to steer a safer and surer course."--Richard Jackson, senior fellow, Center for Strategic and International Studies, and coauthor of The Graying of the Great Powers: Demography and Geopolitics in the 21st Century--Richard Jackson

"Great Power Politics is a book that keeps strong ethical principles in mind while analyzing the real-world demographic problems of great powers."--Joseph Meaney, National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly--Joseph Meaney "National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly "

Mahnken, Jerome E. Levy Chair in Economic Geography and National Security, U.S. Naval War College--Thomas G. Mahnken
