xiii, [1], 270, [4] Pages. Decorative book cover. Chapter Outline. Notes. Selected Bibliography. Index. Ink marks and underlining noted. Surmounting the Global Crisis critiques the impact of NATO enlargement and the US 'pivot to Asia' on both the Russia and China and examines how these dual US-backed policies may influence key countries in the Euro-Atlantic, wider Middle East, and Indo-Pacific regions in general. Hall Gardner (born January 10, 1954) is a professor of International Politics at the American University of Paris. He received his BA from Colgate University and his MA and Ph.D. from the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at the Johns Hopkins University. He primarily study the origins of war, focusing on its sources and impacts, both local and global and the ways in which such conflicts can be resolved. As a geo-strategist, his comparative historical approach combines theory and contemporary international affairs in dealing with topics such as NATO and the European Union, post-Soviet Union Russia and its effects on China and Eurasia, and the international consequences of the "war on terrorism." In July 2008, Narcissus Press published The Wake-Up Blast, Gardner's first book of original poems. Barbecue Meltdown, his second book of poetry published by Narcissus Press, is set to appear in 2009. He is working on several other poetry books and novels, including Dolphin Legends and the Man of War, a long prose poem, and Tie Dyed in Blood, a novel inspired by his time spent in China and Vietnam from 1988-1989. 'Hall Gardner's book touches upon one of the crucial turning points in post-Cold War history: the failure of Western leaders and particularly of several US administrations to build stable strategic relations with the post-Soviet Russia. The unilateral expansion of NATO to the East perceived by Moscow more as a political humiliation than a strategic challenge is used by Vladimir Putin to justify his new 'Eurasian' strategy and his search for allies in the East. Gardner considers that there is still time to repair the damage and proposes non-conventional answers to the security challenges of the new century.' - Andrei Grachev, last official spokesman of Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, Chairman of the Scientific Committee of the New Policy Forum. 'Hall Gardner's contribution to scholarship on the relationship dynamics between Europe, Asia, and Russia is well established. This book takes a further step. Gardner proposes an unprecedented architecture for world governance, which goes against established clichés and views.' - Roberto Savio, Inter Press Service. 'NATO Expansion and US Strategy in Asia is an impressive and complex book. It provides a synthesis and assessment of global trends and is essential and provocative reading for everyone with an interest in the practice of international affairs. It argues that in order to handle contemporary global crises, membership in the Alliance [and European Union] must be expanded to include Russia, Turkey, and the Ukraine.' - Robert J. Jackson, Professor of Government and International Relations, University of Redlands, and author of Global Politics in the Twenty-First Century and Temptations of Power: The US in Global Politics since 9/11. "Hall Gardner not only gives us an excellent historical oversight of the post-World War II role of the USA in Asia, he also offers an in-depth analysis of the reasons and background of President Obama's recent 'Pivot' to Asia." - Marcel H. Van Herpen, Director, The Cicero Foundation. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].…
