Autocrats vs. Democrats: China, Russia, America, and the New Global Disorder
Categories: Politics & Social Sciences
In Autocrats vs. Democrats, political scientist Michael McFaul, U.S. ambassador to Russia from 2012 to 2014, examines the rivalry between the autocracies of China and Russia and the democratic world. McFaul traces how relations with Beijing and Moscow deteriorated after the Cold War and argues that their governments pose a coordinated challenge to democracies. He sets out a strategy for the United States and its allies to compete, combining military strength, economic policy and support for democratic ideas.
