Europas dystra framtid

I Europas dystra framtid utreder den amerikanske statsvetaren John J. Mearsheimer några grundläggande frågor om Ukrainakriget.
Vad är krigets orsaker?
Vart är kriget på väg?
Hur kommer kriget att sluta?
Vad blir krigets konsekvenser – för Ukraina, Europa och den globala maktbalansen?
»Ukrainakriget har fått katastrofala konsekvenser för Ukraina. Det har förgiftat relationerna mellan Europa och Ryssland för överskådlig framtid. Det har gjort Europa till en farligare plats. Det har vållat allvarlig ekonomisk och politisk skada i Europa och svårt sargat de transatlantiska relationerna. Detta väcker oundvikligen frågan: Vem är ansvarig för detta krig? Denna fråga kommer inte att försvinna inom den närmaste tiden, utan kommer förmodligen att bli mer aktuell när skadorna blir mer uppenbara för fler människor.« JOHN J. MEARSHEIMER
John J. Mearsheimer är professor i statsvetenskap vid University of Chicago. Han tog examen vid militärakademin West Point 1970 och tjänstgjorde i fem år som officer i det amerikanska flygvapnet. Därefter började han studera statsvetenskap vid Cornell University 1975 och tog sin doktorsexamen 1980.
Professor Mearsheimer har utgivit bland annat följande böcker:
The Tragedy of Great Power Politics (2001, 2014).
The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy (med Stephen M. Walt, 2007), översatt till 24 språk.
Why Leaders Lie: The Truth about Lying in International Politics (2011), översatt till tolv språk.
The Great Delusion: Liberal Dreams and International Realities (2018), översatt till fem språk.
How States Think: The Rationality of Foreign Policy (2023).
På svenska utkom 2015 Vems fel är Ukrainakrisen? (med Michael McFaul och Stephen Sestanovich, Karneval förlag), som består av fyra artiklar ur Foreign Affairs. Professor Mearsheimers föredrag »Why is Ukraine the West s Fault?«, som grundar sig på hans bidrag i den boken, har haft 30 miljoner visningar på Youtube och över 20000 kommentarer (Chicagouniversitetets kanal: https://youtu.be/JrMiSQAGOS4).
Om sig själv skriver professor Mearsheimer:
»Framför allt är jag en teoretiker inom internationella relationer. Mer specifikt är jag realist, vilket innebär att jag tror att stormakterna dominerar det internationella systemet och att de ständigt konkurrerar med varandra om säkerheten, vilket ibland leder till krig.
Även om jag har ägnat mitt liv åt forskning har jag också engagerat mig i aktuella politiska debatter. Till exempel var jag en av de mest uttalade motståndarna till Irakkriget 2003 innan det bröt ut, och jag har varit djupt involverad i den offentliga debatten om konflikterna i Gaza och Ukraina. Jag är fast övertygad om att samhällsvetenskapliga teorier är ovärderliga för att utforma och analysera utrikespolitik.«

The updated edition of this classic treatise on the behavior of great powers takes a penetrating look at the question likely to dominate international relations in the twenty-first century: Can China rise peacefully? In clear, eloquent prose, John Mearsheimer explains why the answer is no: a rising China will seek to dominate Asia, while the United States, determined to remain the world's sole regional hegemon, will go to great lengths to prevent that from happening. The tragedy of great power politics is inescapable.

Does America’s pro-Israel lobby wield inappropriate control over US foreign policy?This book has created a storm of controversy by bringing out into the open America’s relationship with the Israel lobby: a loose coalition of individuals and organizations that actively work to shape foreign policy in a way that is profoundly damaging both to the United States and Israel itself. Israel is an important, valued American ally, yet Mearsheimer and Walt show that, by encouraging unconditional US financial and diplomatic support for Israel and promoting the use of its power to remake the Middle East, the lobby has jeopardized America’s and Israel’s long-term security and put other countries – including Britain – at risk.

A renowned scholar argues that liberal hegemony—the policy America has pursued since the Cold War ended—is doomed to failNamed a Financial Times Best Book of 2018“Idealists as well as realists need to read this systematic tour de force.”—Robert D. Kaplan, author of The Return of Marco Polo’s WorldIt is widely believed in the West that the United States should spread liberal democracy across the world, foster an open international economy, and build international institutions. The policy of remaking the world in America’s image is supposed to protect human rights, promote peace, and make the world safe for democracy. But this is not what has happened. Instead, the United States has become a highly militarized state fighting wars that undermine peace, harm human rights, and threaten liberal values at home.In this major statement, the renowned international-relations scholar John Mearsheimer argues that liberal hegemony—the foreign policy pursued by the United States since the Cold War ended—is doomed to fail. It makes far more sense, he maintains, for Washington to adopt a more restrained foreign policy based on a sound understanding of how nationalism and realism constrain great powers abroad. The Great Delusion is a lucid and compelling work of the first importance for scholars, policymakers, and everyone interested in the future of American foreign policy.

I denna bok har samlats fyra uppmärksammade artiklar som publicerades i Foreign Affairs 2014.
I den första artikeln argumenterar statsvetarprofessorn John J. Mearsheimer för att det inte är Ryssland, utan USA och dess allierade, som bär huvudansvaret för den Ukrainakris som intensivt flammade upp åren 2013-2014.
I två efterföljande artiklar hävdar tvärtom Michael McFaul och Stephen Sestanovich, tidigare diplomater och regeringsrådgivare, att Ukrainakrisen uteslutande måste skyllas på Ryssland och Putins aggressiva erövringspolitik.
I en avslutande reflektion bemöter John J. Mearsheimer dessa invändningar.

How States Think
The Rationality of Foreign Policy

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
A groundbreaking examination of a central question in international relations: Do states act rationally? To understand world politics, you need to understand how states think. Are states rational? Much of international relations theory assumes that they are. But many scholars believe that political leaders rarely act rationally. The issue is crucial for both the study and practice of international politics, for only if states are rational can scholars and policymakers understand and predict their behavior. John J. Mearsheimer and Sebastian Rosato argue that rational decisions in international politics rest on credible theories about how the world works and emerge from deliberative decision‑making processes. Using these criteria, they conclude that most states are rational most of the time, even if they are not always successful. Mearsheimer and Rosato make the case for their position, examining whether past and present world leaders, including George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin, have acted rationally in the context of momentous historical events, including both world wars, the Cold War, and the post–Cold War era. By examining this fundamental concept in a novel and comprehensive manner, Mearsheimer and Rosato show how leaders think, and how to make policy for dealing with other states.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
For more than fifty years, George F. Kennan's "American Diplomacy" has been a standard work on American foreign policy. Drawing on his considerable diplomatic experience and expertise, Kennan offers an overview and critique of the foreign policy of an emerging great power whose claims to rightness often spill over into self-righteousness, whose ambitions conflict with power realities, whose judgmentalism precludes the interests of other states, and whose domestic politics frequently prevent prudent policies and result in overstretch. Keenly aware of the dangers of military intervention and the negative effects of domestic politics on foreign policy, Kennan identifies troubling inconsistencies in the areas between actions and ideals - even when the strategies in question turned out to be decided successes. In this expanded fiftieth-anniversary edition, a substantial new introduction by John J. Mearsheimer, one of America's leading political realists, provides new understandings of Kennan's work and explores its continued resonance.As America grapples with its new role as one power among many - rather than as the "indispensable nation" that sees "further into the future" - Kennan's perceptive analysis of the past is all the more relevant. Today, as then, the pressing issue of how to wield power with prudence and responsibility remains, and Kennan's cautions about the cost of hubris are still timely. Refreshingly candid, "American Diplomacy" cuts to the heart of policy issues that continue to be hotly debated today.

Conventional Deterrence is a book about the origins of war. Why do nations faced with the prospect of large-scale conventional war opt for or against an offensive strategy? John J. Mearsheimer examines a number of crises that led to major conventional wars to explain why deterrence failed. He focuses first on Allied and German decision making in the years 1939–1940, analyzing why the Allies did not strike first against Germany after declaring war and, conversely, why the Germans did attack the West. Turning to the Middle East, he examines the differences in Israeli and Egyptian strategic doctrines prior to the start of the major conventional conflicts in that region. Mearsheimer then critically assays the relative strengths and weaknesses of NATO and the Warsaw Pact to determine the prospects for conventional deterrence in any future crisis. He is also concerned with examining such relatively technical issues as the impact of precision-guided munitions (PGM) on conventional deterrence and the debate over maneuver versus attrition warfare.Mearsheimer pays considerable attention to questions of military strategy and tactics. Challenging the claim that conventional detrrence is largely a function of the numerical balance of forces, he also takes issue with the school of thought that ascribes deterrence failures to the dominance of "offensive" weaponry. In addition to examining the military consideration underlying deterrence, he also analyzes the interaction between those military factors and the broader political considerations that move a nation to war.

For almost half a century, Sir Basil Henry Liddell Hart (1895–1970) was the most highly regarded writer on strategy and military matters in the English-speaking world and even today, his ideas are still discussed and debated. Although he helped to formulate Great Britain's military doctrine after the First World War, it was his critique of British strategic policy before and during the early years of the Second World War that earned him a seemingly unassailable reputation as a brilliant strategist.In this unflinching but balanced book, John J. Mearsheimer reexamines Liddell Hart's career and uncovers evidence that he manipulated the facts to create a false picture of his role in military policy debates in the 1930s. According to Liddell Hart's widely accepted account, his progressive ideas about armored warfare were rejected by the British army and adopted instead by the more far-sighted German generals. The Wehrmacht's application of his theory of blitzkrieg, he claimed, resulted in the defeat of France in 1940, a disaster he foresaw.Setting the historical record straight, Mearsheimer shatters once and for all the myth of Liddell Hart's prescience in the interwar period. Liddell Hart had, in fact, "been quite wrong on the basic military questions of the 1930s," Mearsheimer finds, "and his writings helped lead the British government into serious error. Wide recognition of Liddell Hart's misjudgments badly damaged his reputation during the war, and Mearsheimer shows how he mounted a successful campaign to restore his image. Although some of Liddell Hart's military theories are still relevant, Mearsheimer warns that they should be applied with caution.This troubling book offers a striking illustration of how history can be used and abused—how a gifted individual can create their own self-serving version of the past. Based on scrupulously documented evidence, Liddell Hart and the Weight of History is certain to be of great interest to those concerned with military policy and history.

The Israel Lobby," by John J. Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen M. Walt of Harvard''s John F. Kennedy School of Government, was one of the most controversial articles in recent memory.Originally published in the London Review of Books in March 2006, it provoked both howls of outrage and cheers of gratitude for challenging what had been a taboo issue in America: the impact of the Israel lobby on U.S. foreign policy.Now in a work of major importance, Mearsheimer and Walt deepen and expand their argument and confront recent developments in Lebanon and Iran. They describe the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the United States provides to Israel and argues that this support cannot be fully explained on either strategic or moral grounds. This exceptional relationship is due largely to the political influence of a loose coalition of individuals and organizations that actively work to shape U.S. foreign policy in a pro-Israel direction. Mearsheimer and Walt provocatively contend that the lobby has a far-reaching impact on America''s posture throughout the Middle East—in Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, and toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—and the policies it has encouraged are in neither America''s national interest nor Israel''s long-term interest. The lobby''s influence also affects America''s relationship with important allies and increases dangers that all states face from global jihadist terror.Writing in The New York Review of Books, Michael Massing declared, "Not since Foreign Affairs magazine published Samuel Huntington''s ‘The Clash of Civilizations?'' in 1993 has an academic essay detonated with such force." The publication of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy is certain to widen the debate and to be one of the most talked-about books in foreign policy.
