H1 Foreign Affairs The Rise of China and the Future of the West Can the Liberal System Survive? By G. John Ikenberry China's rise will inevitably bring the United States' unipolar moment to an end. But that does not necessarily mean a violent power struggle or the overthrow of the Western system. The U.S.-led international order can remain dominant even while integrating a more powerful China -- but only if Washington sets about strengthening that liberal order now. Slate Six Months That Could Change Iraq Three possible post-surge scenarios F Foreign Affairs Anglo-Saxon Attitudes Owen Harries Walter Russell Mead rightly argues that the United Kingdom and the United States made the modern world. But his call for Washington to pursue both a maritime grand strategy and Niebuhrian realism will not fly.

By Laura Rozen • 'Where Is Bashar al-Assad Heading?' by Eyal Zisser, Middle East Quarterly Bush Seeks to Restore Tattered US Image With Heavy '08 Travel Al Hayat Lebanon, A Very Precious but Fragile Treasure Kim Howells - Lebanon is like a very precious but fragile treasure buried in the heart of the Middle East; it contains one of the most developed democratic systems in the region; it is a complicated patchwork of confessional and ethnic groups well-practiced in the art of coexistence; its progressive and enlightened society has always been a beacon for other parts of the region. Michael McFaul and Kathryn Stoner-Weiss (Stanford): The Myth of the Authoritarian Model: How Putin's Crackdown Holds Russia Back - A growing conventional wisdom holds that Vladimir Putin's attack on democracy has brought Russia stability and prosperity -- providing a new model of successful market authoritarianism. But the correlation between autocracy and economic growth is spurious. Autocracy's effects in Russia have in fact been negative. Whatever the gains under Putin, they would have been greater under a democratic regime.
