Overview
From a leading defense and security analyst, Statecraft will unlock your understanding of how nations collaborate, compete, and fight.
Why did Russia struggle in the early months of their full-scale invasion of Ukraine? Why does Israel repeatedly ignore international pressure on Gaza? Why does the UK spend billions on aircraft carriers it struggles to support at sea? How do smaller states shape world events when dwarfed by superpowers?
The world today is gripped by conflict at a scale not seen since the Cold War. Whether in Ukraine, the Middle East, or Taiwan, we are in a period of intense power competition. In Statecraft, Dr. Jack Watling takes you into wood-paneled offices to meet the world’s power brokers, or the bunkers from which battles are coordinated, and explains the mechanics behind these struggles for supremacy.
Informed by a career on the ground in conflict zones and advising generals and political leaders, Watling examines the crucial dilemmas that states face to get ahead, no matter their size. From economic alliances and global trade to sea power and military technology, Statecraft provides a powerful new framework to understand an increasingly divided world.
