QUOTES Friedberg is cited in Benjamin Schwarz 's "Why America Thinks It Has to Run the World" in ''The Atlantic Monthly'', June 1996 issue: "In a typical evaluation of East Asia 's strategic future the foreign-policy expert Aaron Friedberg states darkly in the journal International Security, :In the long run, it is Asia than Europe that seems far more likely to be the cockpit of great power conflict. The half millennium during which Europe was the world's primary generator of war (as well as of wealth and knowledge) is coming to a close. But, for better and for worse, Europe's past could be Asia's future. "Friedberg's assertion nicely illustrates the ambivalence with which the U.S. national-security community views East Asia's future. He both prophesies an exhilarating Pacific Century and warns the West that the East may once again be up to no good." |
