Superpower: Three Choices for America's Role in the World
Superpower: Three Choices for America's Role in the World is a 2015 non-fiction book by Eurasia Group president Ian Bremmer that offers an analysis of the foreign policy of the United States since the end of the Cold War, and possible ways forward. In "Superpower", Bremmer argues that ordinary Americans too often base their foreign policy choices on allegiance or opposition to the party in power. He, therefore, outlines three options for readers to consider what sort of country America should be and how it should use its  superpower status, in order to strengthen the nation's commitment to a more coherent strategy in the world: According to Bremmer, a "superpower" is a country that can exert enough military, political, and economic power to persuade nations in every region of the world to take important actions they wouldn't otherwise take. Reviews. Newsweek called Bremmer's book, "a bombshell: and in the context of the 2016 presidential debate, a challenge to all the candidates to say something sensible about how they would change U.S. policy to suit the changed realities of the world. The Telegraph wrote, "one of  the sharpest attempts to open the U.S. foreign policy debate has come from Ian Bremmer, the Eurasia Group president and foreign policy guru who coined the phrase 'G-Zero world' to describe the new era of global volatility. Bremmer maps out three distinct paths for the United States and asks America's politicians and electorate to choose between them."
