Book Talk | Retrench, Defend, Compete: A New U.S. Grand Strategy Toward China Monday February 2 from 12:00 - 1:00 PM Eastern Time
Featuring Charles Glaser, Michael Mazarr, & QI senior research fellow Michael Swaine
In his new book, Charles Glaser, senior fellow in MIT’s Security Studies program, rebuts the argument that China’s rise poses an all-encompassing threat to longstanding U.S. interests in Asia, and the U.S. must enhance its commitment to protecting all of those interests.
He instead argues that Washington should selectively retrench from high-risk, nonvital commitments, such as Taiwan, while focusing on defending truly vital interests, including the homeland, key treaty allies, and access to the global commons.
