Changing Times

Henry Farrell finds himself surprised to see "so little of the usual bombast" in the recent Phoenix Initiative report from CNAS. In general, I think it's a pretty remarkable document for typifying how the boundaries of what counts as a mainstream view have shifted over the past few years in a very positive direction. It's been, at times, a frustrating process but there are real result.

Instead, the document’s main message is that the US’s military predominance doesn’t count for as much as it used to, and in a globally connected world, not only are other forms of power becoming more important, but other countries are going to take the lead on many key issues, and the US should get used to this.
