Att använda historien för att förbättra politiken kan verka självklart. Om vi har goda kunskaper om det förflutna borde vi kunna fatta bättre beslut i dag. Men hur får vi tillgång till den historiekunskapen, och hur bör den användas? Tyvärr görs det sällan på ett bra sätt, och historiker och beslutsfattare samverkar sällan. I sin nya bok visar Francis J. Gavin på de många sätt historisk kunskap kan hjälpa oss att förstå och navigera i den komplexa och ofta förvirrande värld som omger oss.
I sin mest användbara form är historia samtidigt en praktik, ett omdöme och en lyhördhet inför det förflutna – en disciplin i ordets bästa bemärkelse, snarare än ett avgränsat studiefält. I Tänka historiskt presenterar Gavin en historisk känslighet med kraft att komplicera våra antaganden, göra det främmande bekant och det bekanta främmande. Det historiska tänkandet kräver att vi, utan att helt upphäva vårt moraliska omdöme, försöker förstå andra på deras egna villkor.

Från det romerska torget till digitala valutor – hur har marknaden utvecklats under historiens gång och hur kan den komma att se ut i framtiden? Denna antologi gör en djupdykning i marknadsutvecklingen och tittar närmare på marknaders avgörande roll i att utforma samtiden men tar också upp den brännande frågan om hur vi ska navigera mot en hållbar framtid.
I tankeväckande essäer skrivna av internationella forskare, politiker och andra sakkunniga utforskas marknadens dynamik. Med utgångspunkt i de antika torgen och i det medeltida Europas marknader undersöker författarna hur tekniska framsteg, konsumentbeteende och geopolitisk strategi – till exempel den politik som utövades under Reagan-eran – har format nutida marknader. Slutligen tar boken upp de utmaningar för stabiliteten på marknaden som utgörs av auktoritära stater och AI.
Boken finns även i engelsk utgåva, The Market.
Beyond the Cold War
Lyndon Johnson and the New Global Challenges of the 1960s

In writing about international affairs in the 1960s, historians have naturally focused on the Cold War. The decade featured perilous confrontations between the United States and the Soviet Union over Berlin and Cuba, the massive buildup of nuclear stockpiles, the escalation of war in Vietnam, and bitter East-West rivalry throughout the developing world.Only in recent years have scholars begun to realize that there is another history of international affairs in the 1960s. As the world historical force of globalization has quickened and deepened, historians have begun to see that many of the global challenges that we face today - inequality, terrorism, demographic instability, energy dependence, epidemic disease, massive increases in trade and monetary flows, to name just a few examples - asserted themselves powerfully during the decade. The administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson confronted tectonic shifts in the international environment and perhaps even the beginning of the post-Cold War world. While the ideologically infused struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union was indisputably crucial, new forces and new actors altered international relations in profound and lasting ways. This book asks how the Johnson administration responded to this changing landscape. To what extent did U.S. leaders understand the changes that we can now see clearly with the benefit of hindsight? How did they prioritize these issues alongside the geostrategic concerns that dominated their daily agendas and the headlines of the day? How successfully did Americans grapple with these long-range problems, with what implications for the future? What lessons lie in the efforts of Johnson and his aides to cope with a new and inchoate agenda of problems? This book reconsiders the 1960s and suggests a new research agenda predicated on the idea that the Cold War was not the only - or perhaps even the most important - feature of international life in the period after World War II.

Chaos in the Liberal Order
The Trump Presidency and International Politics in the Twenty-First Century

Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
Donald Trump’s election has called into question many fundamental assumptions about politics and society. Should the forty-fifth president of the United States make us reconsider the nature and future of the global order? Collecting a wide range of perspectives from leading political scientists, historians, and international-relations scholars, Chaos in the Liberal Order explores the global trends that led to Trump’s stunning victory and the impact his presidency will have on the international political landscape.Contributors situate Trump among past foreign policy upheavals and enduring models for global governance, seeking to understand how and why he departs from precedents and norms. The book considers key issues, such as what Trump means for America’s role in the world; the relationship between domestic and international politics; and Trump’s place in the rise of the far right worldwide. It poses challenging questions, including: Does Trump’s election signal the downfall of the liberal order or unveil its resilience? What is the importance of individual leaders for the international system, and to what extent is Trump an outlier? Is there a Trump doctrine, or is America’s president fundamentally impulsive and scattershot? The book considers the effects of Trump’s presidency on trends in human rights, international alliances, and regional conflicts. With provocative contributions from prominent figures such as Stephen M. Walt, Andrew J. Bacevich, and Samuel Moyn, this timely collection brings much-needed expert perspectives on our tumultuous era.

"Gavin not only succeeds in disentangling postwar nuclear history from the US-Soviet rivalry of the Cold War, but provides a deeper and more complex understanding of the long-term effects of nuclear weapons on Great Power relations."— Matthew Jones â• International AffairsWe are at a critical juncture in world politics. Nuclear strategy and policy have risen to the top of the global policy agenda, and issues ranging from a nuclear Iran to the global zero movement are generating sharp debate. The historical origins of our contemporary nuclear world are deeply consequential for contemporary policy, but it is crucial that decisions are made on the basis of fact rather than myth and misapprehension. In Nuclear Statecraft, Francis J. Gavin challenges key elements of the widely accepted narrative about the history of the atomic age and the consequences of the nuclear revolution.On the basis of recently declassified documents, Gavin reassesses the strategy of flexible response, the influence of nuclear weapons during the Berlin Crisis, the origins of and motivations for U.S. nuclear nonproliferation policy, and how to assess the nuclear dangers we face today. In case after case, he finds that we know far less than we think we do about our nuclear history. Archival evidence makes it clear that decision makers were more concerned about underlying geopolitical questions than about the strategic dynamic between two nuclear superpowers.Gavin's rigorous historical work not only tells us what happened in the past but also offers a powerful tool to explain how nuclear weapons influence international relations. Nuclear Statecraft provides a solid foundation for future policymaking.

This book describes how four U.S. administrations struggled with the legacy of Bretton Woods.How are we to understand the politics of international monetary relations since the end of World War II? Exploiting recently declassified documents from both the United States and Europe and employing economic analysis and international relations theory, Francis Gavin offers a compelling reassessment of the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates and dollar-gold convertibility.Gavin demonstrates that, contrary to the conventional wisdom, Bretton Woods was a highly politicized system that was prone to crisis and required constant intervention and controls to continue functioning. More important, postwar monetary relations were not a salve to political tensions, as is often contended. In fact, the politicization of the global payments system allowed nations to use monetary coercion to achieve political and security ends, causing deep conflicts within the Western Alliance. For the first time, Gavin reveals how these rifts dramatically affected U.S. political and military strategy during a dangerous period of the Cold War.

Exploring what we know—and don’t know—about how nuclear weapons shape American grand strategy and international relationsA 2020 CHOICE Outstanding Academic TitleThe world first confronted the power of nuclear weapons when the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. The global threat of these weapons deepened in the following decades as more advanced weapons, aggressive strategies, and new nuclear powers emerged. Ever since, countless books, reports, and articles—and even a new field of academic inquiry called “security studies”—have tried to explain the so-called nuclear revolution.Francis J. Gavin argues that scholarly and popular understanding of many key issues about nuclear weapons is incomplete at best and wrong at worst. Among these important, misunderstood issues are: how nuclear deterrence works; whether nuclear coercion is effective; how and why the United States chose its nuclear strategies; why countries develop their own nuclear weapons or choose not to do so; and, most fundamentally, whether nuclear weapons make the world safer or more dangerous.These and similar questions still matter because nuclear danger is returning as a genuine threat. Emerging technologies and shifting great-power rivalries seem to herald a new type of cold war just three decades after the end of the U.S.-Soviet conflict that was characterized by periodic prospects of global Armageddon.Nuclear Weapons and American Grand Strategy helps policymakers wrestle with the latest challenges. Written in a clear, accessible, and jargon-free manner, the book also offers insights for students, scholars, and others interested in both the history and future of nuclear danger.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The underlying structure, incentives and costs shaping international relations, state behaviour and the nature of power are profoundly different today to how they were in the past, in ways that are scarcely recognised and widely misunderstood. For much of history, world politics was marked by profound scarcity in resources, information and security. A series of historical revolutions has largely tamed this scarcity in ways few could have imagined. These revolutions, however, have generated new, potentially catastrophic challenges for the world – the problems of plenty.In this Adelphi book, Francis J. Gavin argues that the institutions, practices, theories and policies that helped explain and largely tamed scarcity by generating massive prosperity, and which were sometimes used to justify punishing conquest, are often unsuitable for addressing the problems of plenty. Successful grand strategy in this new age of abundance requires new thinking. New conceptual lenses, innovative policies and processes, and transformed institutions will be essential for confronting and solving the problems of plenty, without undermining the expanding efforts against scarcity.

Leading global experts, brought together by Johns Hopkins University, discuss national and international trends in a post-COVID-19 world.The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has killed hundreds of thousands of people and infected millions while also devastating the world economy. The consequences of the pandemic, however, go much further: they threaten the fabric of national and international politics around the world. As Henry Kissinger warned, "The coronavirus epidemic will forever alter the world order." What will be the consequences of the pandemic, and what will a post-COVID world order look like? No institution is better suited to address these issues than Johns Hopkins University, which has convened experts from within and outside of the university to discuss world order after COVID-19. In a series of essays, international experts in public health and medicine, economics, international security, technology, ethics, democracy, and governance imagine a bold new vision for our future.Essayists include: Graham Allison, Anne Applebaum, Philip Bobbitt, Hal Brands, Elizabeth Economy, Jessica Fanzo, Henry Farrell, Peter Feaver, Niall Ferguson, Christine Fox , Jeremy A. Greene, Hahrie Han, Kathleen H. Hicks, William Inboden, Tom Inglesby, Jeffrey P. Kahn, John Lipsky, Margaret MacMillan, Anna C. Mastroianni, Lainie Rutkow, Kori Schake, Eric Schmidt, Thayer Scott, Benn Steil, Janice Gross Stein, James B. Steinberg, Johannes Urpelainen, Dora Vargha, Sridhar Venkatapuram, and Thomas Wright.In collaboration with and appreciation of the book's co-editors, Professors Hal Brands and Francis J. Gavin of the Johns Hopkins SAIS Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs, Johns Hopkins University Press is pleased to donate funds to the Maryland Food Bank, in support of the university's food distribution efforts in East Baltimore during this period of food insecurity due to COVID-19 pandemic hardships.

Den rådande ordningen verkar var på väg att bryta samman. Sedan länge glömda hot i form av en ny kamp mellan stormakterna och rädslan för kärnvapenkrig samt nya, komplexa globala kriser, från klimatförändringar och epidemier till ny teknologi, leder till osäkerhet och kaos. Samtidigt beter sig USA, den mest inflytelserika nationen i det internationella systemet, nyckfullt och verkar ha övergett den strategi man arbetat enligt i decennier då man har byggt starka allianser och motarbetat auktoritärt styre, verkat för öppenhet och tydligt engagerat sig i det som pågår runtom i världen. Väl inarbetade institutioner, framför allt de mest prestigefyllda universiteten, verkar oförmögna att ställa upp och bistå med att sprida forskning och utbildning som hjälper oss att fungera i denna nya värld. Hur ska vi relatera till denna oroande utveckling? Wonder and Worry samlar Francis J. Gavins texter från de senaste tio åren, bland annat om världspolitikens och det internationella systemets tillstånd. Vad har Amerikas roll i den globala ordningen varit och vad bör den vara? Och hur ska vi analysera och sprida kunskap om de två första frågeställningarna? Gavins svar är ofta nyanserade, utmanar gängse uppfattningar och är överraskande optimistiska. Wonder and Worry består av lättillgängliga texter om samtidshistoria för en osäker tidsålder. Boken utges bara på engelska.

Said about Wonder and Worry:
"Worried about the world? Frank Gavin combines great historical perspective with important current insights in this very readable volume." Joseph Nye, Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus at Harvard University and author of A Life in the American Century "This is a brilliant collection of essays, full of humanity and humour but also a force of argument that will dislodge even the most tenaciously held illusions. Few are better than Professor Gavin at assessing the state of the field , whether that be prevailing thinking about international affairs or the pathologies of the academy. Taken collectively, these interventions represent some of the most refined and distilled thinking about the study of statecraft and the application of history to contemporary affairs in the transatlantic world today."John Bew, Professor of History and Foreign Policy, King s College London "Fascinating read."Graham Tillett Allison Jr., Douglas Dillon Professor of Government at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University "Francis Gavin stands among our the most perceptive and original strategic thinkers of our era, and this jewel of a volume collects a decade of his reflections. With wit, verve, and a subtle historical sensibility, he draws on the insights of the past to clarify the challenges of the present -- and limns a prudently hopeful path for the future."Will Inboden, Director of the Hamilton Center, University of Florida and author of the award winning book, The Peacemaker: Ronald Reagan, the Cold War, and the World on the Brink "Frank Gavin is one of the great national security intellectuals of our time, a curator of ideas, and mentor to good work in others. This overdue collection of his own work reveals the trajectory of his thinking in so many edifying ways!"Kori Schake, senior fellow and the director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).

The current global order appears to be collapsing. Long forgotten challenges, such as the return of great power competition and the specter of nuclear war, demand fresh attention, while novel, complex, and menacing planetary crises ranging from climate and disease to emerging technology loom. Meanwhile, the United States—the most consequential nation in the international system, behaves erratically and seems willing to abandon its decades-long strategy of building strong alliances, countering authoritarianism and supporting openness. How should we understand these unsettling trends?Wonder and Worry offers Francis J. Gavin’s best insights on the pressing, fundamental questions we face. Gavin’s answers are nuanced, counterintuitive, and often surprisingly optimistic in this incisive and accessible contemporary history for our uncertain age.
