| Description: | Select Guide Rating A fresh approach to statecraft informed by contemporary geopolitical pressures. From civilisational frontier risks associated with new challenges like disruptive technologies, to the shifting nature of great-power conflicts and subversion, the 21stcentury requires a new approach to statecraft. In 21st-Century Statecraft, Professor Nayef Al-Rodhan proposes five innovative statecraft concepts. He makes the case for a new method of geopolitical analysis called ''meta-geopolitics'', and for ''dignity-based governance''. He shows how, in an interdependent and interconnected world, traditional thinking must move beyond zero-sum games and focus on ''multi-sum and symbiotic realist'' interstate relations. This requires a new paradigm of global security premised on five dimensions of security, and a new concept of power, ''just power'', which highlights the centrality of justice to state interests. These concepts enable states to balance competing interests and work towards what the author calls ''reconciliation statecraft''. Throughout, Professor Al-Rodhan brings his philosophical and neuroscientific expertise to bear, providing a practical model for conducting statecraft in a sustainable way. |
