: The author of the acclaimed New York Times bestseller The Next 100 Years :
: now focuses his geopolitical forecasting acumen on the next decade and the :
: imminent events and challenges that will test America and the world, :
: specifically addressing the skills that will be required by the decade's :
: leaders. :
: :
: The next ten years will be a time of massive transition. The wars in the :
: Islamic world will be subsiding, and terrorism will become something we :
: learn to live with. China will be encountering its crisis. We will be :
: moving from a time when financial crises dominate the world to a time when :
: labor shortages will begin to dominate. The new century will be taking :
: shape in the next decade. :
: :
: In The Next Decade, George Friedman offers readers a pro­vocative and :
: endlessly fascinating prognosis for the immedi­ate future. Using :
: Machiavelli's The Prince as a model, Friedman focuses on the world's :
: leaders--particularly the American president--and with his trusted :
: geopolitical insight analyzes the complex chess game they will all have to :
: play. The book also asks how to be a good president in a decade of :
: extraordinary challenge, and puts the world's leaders under a microscope to:
: explain how they will arrive at the decisions they will make--and the :
: consequences these actions will have for us all. :
