Zbigniew Brzezinski was a Polish-American political scientist and statesman whose work focused on geostrategy and foreign policy. His approach was characterized as realist, advocating influential foreign policy strategies during a time when the Democratic Party leaned hawkish. His analyses often centered on the complex relationships between nations and power blocs, and the long-term implications of international events. Brzezinski explored the dynamics of global politics and proposed strategies for shaping the international order, emphasizing strategic thinking and a global perspective.

Dyktatura totalitarna i autokracja przedstawia podstawowe cechy państwa totalitarnego i omawia zagadnienie trwałości systemów totalitarnych oraz ich dalszej ewolucji. Pierwsze wydanie tej książki ukazało się w 1956 roku. Szybko uznano ją za jeden z najważniejszych głosów w intelektualnej debacie dotyczącej zagadnienia totalitaryzmu. W 1963 roku praca została zaktualizowana i gruntownie przeredagowana. Ta druga edycja stała się podstawową niniejszego wydania, zawierającego pierwszy w historii przekład na język polski klasycznej już rozprawy. „Książkę Carla Friedricha i Zbigniewa Brzezińskiego można czytać jako próbę dowiedzenia, że istnieją dostateczne racje, by posługiwać się pojęciem totalitaryzmu (czy raczej w wypadku prezentowanej tu książki – dyktatury totalitarnej).” Z wprowadzenia dr. Arkadiusza Górnisiewicza

Addressing four major areas of concern--the shift of global power from West to East; the causes and consequences of America's declining global appeal; what would happen if America suffered long-term decline; and how America can reorient its geopolitical goals to prevent it--foreign policy powerhouse Brzezinski provides a comprehensive long-term strategic plan for America
In 1993 the esteemed journal FOREIGN AFFAIRS published an article entitled "The Clash of Civilizations?" by Samuel P. Huntington. According to the journal's editors it went on to generate more discussion than anything they had published since the Second World War. In the article, Huntington posed the question whether conflicts between civilizations would dominate the future of world politics. In the book, he gives the answer, showing not only how clashes between civilizations are the greatest threat to world peace but also how an international order based on civilizations is the best safeguard against war. Since September 11, his thesis has seemed even more prescient and acute. THE CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS AND THE REMAKING OF WORLD ORDER is now recognised as a classic study of international relations in an increasingly uncertain world.
America's status as a world power remains at a historic turning point. The strategies employed to win the wars of the twentieth century are no longer working, and the US must contend with the changing nature of power in a globalized world. In America and the World, two of the most respected figures in American foreign policy, Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft, dissect the challenges facing the US today: the Middle East, Russia, and China, among others. In spontaneous conversations the two authors explore their agreements and disagreements. Defining the center of responsible opinion on American foreign policy, America and the World is an essential primer on a host of urgent issues at a time when our leaders' decisions could determine how long our nation remains a superpower.
A story of wasted opportunity and squandered prestige: a critique of the last three U.S. presidents' foreign policy. Distinguished commentator on foreign policy, former National Security Adviser Brzezinski, offers a reasoned but unsparing assessment of the last three presidential administrations' foreign policy. Though spanning less than two decades, these administrations cover a vitally important turning point in world history: the period in which the United States, having emerged from the Cold War with unprecedented power and prestige, managed to squander both in a remarkably short time. This is a tale of decline: from the competent but conventional thinking of the first Bush administration, to the well-intentioned self-indulgence of the Clinton administration, to the mortgaging of America's future by the "suicidal statecraft" of the second Bush administration. Brzezinski concludes with a chapter on how America can regain its lost prestige. This scholarly yet highly opinionated book is sure to be both controversial and influential.--From publisher description.
Amerika stojí před historickou volbou: bude usilovat o dominaci ostatnímu světu, nebo se jej pokusí vést? definuje Zbigniew Brzezinski základní problém, před kterým stojí nejmocnější stát světa. Ale moc Ameriky je také její největší slabostí. Brzezinski, který má tu výhodu, že se nepodílí na nynější konfrontační americké zahraniční politice, si může dovolit luxus zabývat se tématy, jež by měla stát u kořenů každé zodpovědné diplomacie a koncepce strategické vojenské bezpečnosti. Jeho symetrická otázka má výstavbu klasického dramatu: v pěti kapitolách rozdělených do dvou oddílů, autor předkládá pět dilemat: národní bezpečnost, nový globální pořádek, řízení globálních aliancí, globalizace a hegemonní demokracie. Brzezinského novu knihu je možné vnímat nejen jako zničující kritiku, ale i jako závažný alternativní námět k aktuální podobě americké zahraniční politiky.
