Pro"cient in Mandarin, Rudd began his career as a diplomat, "rst posted to Stockholm, then to Beijing. Now president o! the Asia Society, Rudd argues in “Short o! War” (page 58) that increased rivalry between the United States and China is inevitable but catastrophe is not; with smart diplomacy, the contest can be managed. YELING TAN studies how globalization changes the incentives o! authoritarian governments. Trained at Harvard, she is now a professor o! political science at the University o! Oregon and the author o! the forthcoming book Disaggre- gating China, Inc.: State Strategies in the Liberal Economic Order. In “How the WTO Changed China” (page 90), Tan reckons with the mixed legacy o! China’s accession to the World Trade Organization and the prospect o# future economic reforms. An expert on pandemic preparedness, dean o! the School o# Public Health at Brown University, and a practicing internist, ASHISH JHA has emerged as a leading advocate for a bold U.S. federal response to the COVID-19 crisis. He raised the alarm about the virus last March and has s$nce publ$shed research on masks, test$ng, and lockdowns. In “System Failure” (page 103), he makes the case for a new, less U.S.-centric approach to global health. A former adviser to such leading Republican "gures as Marco Rubio and Mitt Romney, OREN CASS is widely known as a conservative antipoverty crusader. After four years as a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, Cass now serves as the executive director o! American Compass, an organization he founded that aims to reorient conser- vative economic thinking. In “A New Conservatism” (page 116), he calls on the Republican Party to abandon its obsession with low taxes and free-market economics. 02_TOC_Blues.indd 7 1/25/21 1:56 PM DECLINE AND FALL ith the storm past, it is reasoned argument, with no room in time to assess the damage, its columns for polemic, for anger, clean up the mess, and mull for personal attack. A literary tone W that would be quiet and serious, but what to rebuild and how. Jessica Mathews and Jonathan Kirshner survey never pretentious. Importance, as the main criterion in the selection o" the broken, battered world the Biden material—whether the importance administration has inherited and how was to come from the signi#cance its players view Washington now. and originality o" the subject matter Robert Kagan traces the gul$ between or from the authority o" the author.
