Details: Ali Wyne will discuss his book "America's Great-Power Opportunity: Revitalizing U.S. Foreign Policy to Meet the Challenges of Strategic Competition" (Polity, 2022). Drawing on three years of intense research and dozens of interviews that he conducted in 2020—including with many individuals who now serve in the Biden administration—Ali examines "great-power competition" as a framework for orienting U.S. foreign policy. He argues that while the United States will increasingly have to contend with the challenges posed by a resurgent China and a revanchist Russia, Washington should not pursue a foreign policy that is driven by or beholden to their actions. The United States should instead articulate a forward-looking conception of its role in the world, identifying where selective competition with China and Russia might further that vision, but focusing in the main on renewing its unique competitive strengths.
