Thomas J. Wright is a fellow and director of the Project on International Order and Strategy at the Brookings Institution.
"Wright makes a compelling case that the US and the world have
benefitted from the liberal international order that Donald Trump
threatens to discard, and also lucidly describes the challenges to
US power around the world."—Gideon Rachman, Financial Times
"A bracing antidote to simplistic thinking about complex
policies."—Publishers Weekly
Thomas Wright's All Measures Short of War: The Contest for the
Twenty-First Century and the Future of American Power has been
selected for the shortlist of the Council on Foreign Relations’
2018 Arthur Ross Book Award!
“All Measures Short of War presents a clear-eyed analysis of the
return of geopolitics and points a way for U.S. foreign policy to
navigate this new landscape.”—Francis Fukuyama, author of Political
Order and Political Decay
"Wright has written an important book at a critical time. The
United States and its allies face rising threats in the Middle
East, Asia and Eastern Europe; the liberal international order has
not confronted greater challenges for decades. Wright makes a
considered, nuanced case for renewed U.S. international engagement
and leadership."—Andrew Shearer, Senior Advisor at the Center for
Strategic and International Studies and former national security
advisor to Prime Ministers Howard and Abbott of Australia
"In this important and timely
book, Thomas Wright argues that great power
convergence is in decline and a new era of greater geopolitical
competition is upon us, with profound implications for
globalization, U.S. strategy, and international order."—Stephen
Hadley, former National Security Advisor to President George W.
Bush
"Wright is an incredibly perceptive observer of the global security
order. In All Measures Short of War he has provided the best
account yet of the recurrence of great power competition and its
implications for U.S. policymakers. I know of no better guide to
the end of the Age of Obama and the emergence of the Era of
Trump."—Eric S. Edelman, former Under Secretary of Defense for
Policy, and Roger Herzog Distinguished Practitioner
in Residence, Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced
International Studies
"Contemplating a regressive future that resembles a past when great
powers clashed and war was politics by other means, Wright
advocates a concept of 'responsible competition' that
harnesses globalization to maintain a cold peace in a dangerous
world. Persuasive, important, and timely."—Strobe Talbott, former
Deputy Secretary of State and author of The Great Experiment
