Ibrahimov. 330 $a"This anthology continues the discussion and analysis begun in the acclaimed 2017 Cultural Perspectives, Geopolitics, & Energy Security of Eurasia: Is the Next Global Conflict Imminent? Similarly, Great Power Competition brings together distinguished nationally and internationally known scholars in their respective areas to discuss how emerging global and regional powers are trying to expand their influences in different regions of the world. The scholars, who bring a combination of academic and first-hand practical expertise, examine how the actions of adversaries have challenged the US national security and defense strategies, especially in the changing homeland security landscape in light of COVID-19 and recent societal unrest. Based on careful review of global and regional literature and thorough analysis, the research by this group of knowledgeable authors indicates that America's position cannot be taken for granted. The world is approaching a very sensitive historical juncture with multiple regional and global conflicting interests. The emerging situation raises several questions: how will the global security architecture be structured in the next five to ten years, what role will the United States play in that environment, and, finally, will we witness another major global conflict, possibly one disastrous for mankind?"--$cProvided by publisher. 517 $aGreat power competition 606 $aGreat powers 606 $aMilitary policy 606 $aStrategic rivalries (World politics) 606 $aInternational relations and culture 606 $aDiplomatic relations$2fast 606 $aGreat powers$2fast 606 $aInternational relations and culture$2fast 606 $aMilitary policy$2fast 606 $aStrategic rivalries (World politics)$2fast 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xForeign relations 607 $aRussia (Federation)$2fast 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aGreat powers. 615 0$aMilitary policy. 615 0$aStrategic rivalries (World politics) 615 0$aInternational relations and culture. 615 7$aDiplomatic relations. 615 7$aGreat powers. 615 7$aInternational relations and culture. 615 7$aMilitary policy. 615 7$aStrategic rivalries (World politics) 676 $a327.1 702 $aIbrahimov$b Mahir$f1956- 712 02$aU.S. Army Command and General Staff College Press, 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910715083503321 996 $aGreat power competition$93402075 997 $aUNINA
