The Center on the United States and Europe at Brookings (CUSE) hosted Fareed Zakaria, editor of
Newsweek International, for a discussion of his new book
The Post-American World (W. W. Norton & Company, 2008).
Mr. Zakaria was joined by Brookings President
Strobe Talbott, author of the recently published
The Great Experiment: From Tribes to Global Nations (Simon & Schuster, 2008), which examines the history of the ideas and reality of global governance and the needs for adaptation to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. CUSE Director and Brookings Senior Fellow
Daniel Benjamin moderated the discussion.
Talbott and Zakaria engaged in a far-reaching discussion of the choices America will face as political and economic power shifts to other nations, particularly China and India.
