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

Based on the author's seminal article in Foreign Affairs, Samuel P. Huntington's The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order is a provocative and prescient analysis of the state of world politics after the fall of communism. In this incisive work, the renowned political scientist explains how "civilizations" have replaced nations and ideologies as the driving force in global politics today and offers a brilliant analysis of the current climate and future possibilities of our world's volatile political culture.

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.

Je polovica deväťdesiatych rokov. Stredná Európa si zvyká na slobodu a mieri do EÚ a NATO, čerstvo nezávislé postsovietske krajiny sa snažia oslobodiť od vplyvu Kremľa a novú situáciu chce na svoje posilnenie využiť aj Čína ako najľudnatejšia krajina sveta. Rusku sa to nepáči, ale zmietané hospodárskym prepadom, všadeprítomnou korupciou a organizovaným zločinom je príliš slabé, aby s tým niečo robilo. A na to všetko sa prizerá nespochybniteľný svetový hegemón, prvá a posledná skutočne globálna a neohrozená superveľmoc – Spojené štáty. Ako využijú svoje jedinečné postavenie? Je v ich záujme podporiť integráciu strednej Európy do EÚ? Do akej miery je vhodné podporovať Moskvu ohrozujúce ambície Pekingu, tak aby neohrozila Washington? A je možné pomôcť Rusku, aby sa stalo súčasťou západného sveta? Brzezinského Veľká šachovnica je žánrovou klasikou, historickým exkurzom, učebnicou geopolitiky aj napínavým románom, v ktorom sme tiež zohrali svoju rolu.

As we rush toward the 21st century, former Director of the National Security Council Brzezinski takes time out to issue an "urgent warning" about the current state of global politics. He believes we are in peril of repeating the "megadeath" of this century--a century that has witnessed the slaughter of 187 million people in the name of politics.

The Grand Failure: The Birth and Death of Communism in the Twentieth Century is Zbigniew Brzezinski's prescient analysis of "the terminal crisis of communism." One of the most astute foreign policy experts of our time, Brzezinski argues that the advent of communism was a critical phenomenon in the history of the century. From the Cold War, to the building of the Berlin Wall, Sputnik, the Vietnam War, and the war in Afghanistan, Americans have lived in the light of the Soviet Union as their predominant and most forbidding antagonist. But Marxist theory has proved a failure, as have its practical applications. "By the next century," Brzezinski concludes, "communism's irreversible historical decline will have made its practice and its dogma largely irrelevant to the human condition. Prospering only where it abandons its internal substance even while retaining some of its external labels, communism will be remembered largely as the twentieth century's most extraordinary political and intellectual aberration."

Jimmy Carter's Assistant for National Security Affairs offers a detailed account of his experiences between 1977 and 1981, and an analysis of the achievements and consequences of United States foreign policy during those years

When this book was first published in 1960, The New York Times commented: "[Mr.] Brzezinski...is uniquely qualified to sift the scattered and often seemingly contradictory data on this subject...the volume is marked by unusual insight, richness of information, and stimulating thought." Mr. Brzezinski, who is on leave from his post as Professor and Director of the Research Institute on Communist Affairs, Columbia University serving on State Department's Policy Planning Council, has revised and updated his important study wherever necessary and added three new chapters on recent developments. He gives particular attention to the Sino-Soviet dispute.
