Description

Strategic Assessment 2025: Great Power Competition at Mid-Decade explores the ongoing dramatic evolution of strategic competition among and between today's three Great Powers - the United States, China, and Russia. Over the past decade, these Great Powers moved from an era of generally cooperative and collaborative interactions to those now dominated by competitive and confrontational dynamics. This book spotlights and evaluates the evolving global strategies pursued by Washington, Beijing and Moscow at mid-decade, illuminating how they clash or complement national power and international status in an array of geostrategic regions and functions.
