To compete and thrive in the 21st century, democracies, and the United States in particular, must develop new national security and economic strategies that address the geopolitics of information. In the 20th century, market capitalist democracies geared infrastructure, energy, trade, and even social policy to protect and advance that era’s key source of power—manufacturing. In this century, democracies must better account for information geopolitics across all dimensions of domestic policy and national strategy.
In a question-and-answer format with the founding father of modern Singapore, co-authors Graham Allison and Robert Blackwill of Harvard's Kennedy School convey Lee Kuan Yew's strategic advice on India, China, Islamic terrorism, the welfare state, the free market, education, and democracy. This book belongs on the reading list of every world leader and all those who seek to understand the United States' greatest foreign policy challenges in Asia and around the globe.
