Description
We have entered a new Cold War. The contest between America and China is global and unbridgeable, encompassing all major instruments of statecraft - economic, political and military. As we stand at its beginning, it's essential to understand the lessons of history to navigate its risks and avoid a globally devastating hot war. Former Director of Chatham House Robin Niblett argues that looking back is crucial to guiding us through this new reality. He identifies ten ways in which the New Cold War differs from the past conflict and offers five rules for navigating its onset. By examining these differences and rules, we can better understand the implications of this contest and its impact on our global challenges, from the climate emergency to the technological revolution. The course of our futures hangs in the balance. How we manage this contest will determine whether there is still space for international cooperation to address our shared challenges, and who will lead the twenty-first century.
