STATECRAFT STRATEGIES FOR A CHANGING WORLD PBK THATCHER M. Księgarnia

Statecraft

'I wanted to write one more book and I wanted it to be about the future. In this age of spin doctors and sound bites, the ever-present danger is that leaders will follow fashion and not their instincts and beliefs. That was not how the West won the Cold War, nor how we created the basis for today's freedom and prosperity. If we wish to make our achievements secure for our children and grandchildren, the West must stay vigilant and strong. In this book it will be my purpose to show how that can - and must be done.' '

In Statecraft Margaret Thatcher brings her unrivalled political experience to bear on the challenges of the new millennium. Reflecting on the lessons of the Cold War, she describes the foundations of American dominance and discusses its continuing role. She weighs in the balance the various fortunes of Russia, China, India and the Far East. She analyses the dangers posed by Balkan instability, rogue states, Islamic extremism and international terrorism - and suggests strategies to counter them. She also warns of the insidious extension of the power of international institutions at the expense of nation states. On the same theme, she explains from first-hand experience the tensions that characterise Britain's relations with Europe and examines in clear terms the options now available.

Statecraft is a powerful treatise delivered by a world figure with a unique combination of principle and shrewdness.

margaret thatcher became Britain's first woman Prime Minister in 1979, a post she held for eleven and a half years. Her partnership with President Ronald Reagan was the driving force of a conservative revolution which transformed the political landscape of the West, achieved a crushing defeat of communism and so brought liberty and prosperity within the grasp of millions who had never known them.

Since leaving office Lady Thatcher has written two volumes of memoirs (The Downing Street Years and The Path to Power). She has travelled extensively in America, Europe and Asia, delivering lectures on international issues and keeping in touch with world leaders. She also plays a continuing role in British political affairs.
