Graham T. Allison's "Thucydides trap": vital concept, poorly named à Pro and Con (Mai 2022)

Destined for War: Can America and China Escape… par Allison Graham
VERY instructive book. Learned a lot about the undercurrents of this US vs China story. As well as other historic facts i was not aware of
The main strength of this book is that it reminded the world of Thucydides Trap and made many commentators pause to think how a rising power and a possible declining one could interact. While past examples are explained to show how war can come to pass in such an environment and also how they can be avoided, I think this was an essay topic expanded into a book. The points may have been better made if they were more brief.
LKY is a thoughtful figure who bares listening to. His views are often controversial and very non politically correct by Western standards, but his sheer determination to transform Singapore and his insight into world affairs is worthy of respect.
Having said that, this book is a shambles - a copy and paste job of different quotes that don’t sit together well, taken from different time periods. Much better to have let LKY write a response in his own words.

My reaction to many popular nonfiction books is to wish that the author had made them longer and more detailed. This one, in contrast, I think was too long; it would have been perfect as a longform article in a highbrow magazine — as, in fact, it did originate. The parts of the book based on geopolitics and strategic decision-making — Allison's area of expertise — were fascinating, as was his general concept of the "Thucydides Trap," where a rising power and an established hegemon are pushed toward war by the very facts of their situation. As a history buff, though, I found his treatment of history to be quite shallow; even worse was the business-school-style cultural reductionism he engaged with vis-a-vis China. This is a book that is far more likely to quote Henry Kissinger or Lee Kuan Yew than deep historical or ethnographic analyses, which is fine as long as it stays in their lanes.
Behind the headline argument — that the U.S. and China are in a Thucydides Trap and need to learn from history to escape being pushed into a devastating war — the book doubles as a thorough argument for the so-called "realist" school of international relations, and against more explicitly ideologically driven schools (such as championed by Walter Russell Mead in his book [b:Special Providence: American Foreign Policy and How It Changed the World|87505|Special Providence American Foreign Policy and How It Changed the World|Walter Russell Mead|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1348337366s/87505.jpg|84470], including schools he branded "Wilsonian" — championing democracy promotion abroad — or "Hamiltonian" — making the world safe for American commerce). Allison doesn't really engage deeply with alternative schools of thought on this matter, but consistently and occasionally explicitly relies on realism and the idea that nations should conduct foreign policy only in terms of their national interests.… (plus d'informations)
