It is not beyond the capacity of America, working together with the rest of the world, to achieve stability through decency. Working from his decades of experience in diplomacy, most significantly in the United Nations, and a deeply touching and personal commitment to sharing what he has learned, Mahbubani (public policy, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Singapore) believes America can still be respected by other nations, even those turned away by its errors in foreign policy and recent atrocities. He describes how America has benefited and harmed the world, particularly in Islamic states and China, explains the nature of American power and how to manage it, and what lies ahead if America chooses to again seek to be the shining city on the hill, now a city connected closely with all others on the planet.
