The Kissinger Report

The Kissinger Report
"World population growth since World War II is quantitatively and qualitatively different from any previous epoch in human history... total growth rates are close to 2 percent a year, compared with about 1 percent before World War II, under 0.5 percent in 1750-1900, and far lower rates before 1750." -Executive Summary, The Kissinger Report In 1974, the United States National Security Council, led by Henry Kissinger, completed a classified report, National Security Study Memorandum 200 - Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests A.K.A. The Kissinger Report. Due to the sensitive nature of its content, it took another 15 years before this report was declassified in 1989. The Kissinger Report''s purpose was to describe and analyze population growth, especially in the least developed countries ("LDCs"), and the implications for U.S. national security. This report forecasted world population to grow from 4 billion people in 1974 via 6.4 billion in 2000 to 12 billion in 2075. This kind of population growth was deemed unsustainable and would cause major problems: famines and ecological disasters; lack of economic development, civil unrest and mass foreign migration. This instability would be a threat to the countries involved, but also to the national interests of the U.S., since its import of minerals from those LDCs might be hampered. The report called for measures to limit the population to 6 billion by the mid-21st century and to an ultimate limit of 8 billion people, and for the promotion of contraception among 13 populous countries, including Pakistan, Nigeria, and Mexico. When this report was declassified in 1989, this proposed population control policy, including abortion and the targeting of LDCs, triggered controversy. However, today in 2017, with the world population at 7.4 billion, and daily news covering civil unrest and worse in the Middle East, record numbers of global refugees, heat waves and changing weather patterns, the bird flu and zika virus, it seems the The Kissinger Report had at least predictive value. Students of population studies, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the state of the world will find this essential reading.

Teaching Common Sense
How is critical thinking taught? How will the next generation cope with an ever-changing and increasingly complex world? These are questions that the Grand Strategy program at Yale seeks to address. The Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy seeks to revive the study and practice of grand strategy by devising methods to teach that subject at the graduate and undergraduate levels, by training future leaders to think about and implement grand strategies in imaginative and effective ways, and by organizing public events that emphasize the importance of grand strategy. The program defines “grand strategy” as a comprehensive plan of action, based on the calculated relationship of means to large ends. Never an exact science, grand strategy requires constant reassessment and adjustment. Flexibility is key. Traditionally believed to belong to and best-developed in the politico-military and governmental realms, the concept of grand strategy applies—and ISS believes is essential—to a broad spectrum of human activities, not least those of international institutions, non-governmental organizations, and private businesses and corporations. For fifteen years, the Grand Strategy program has been cultivating leadership skills of undergraduates and graduate students of Yale University. In Linda Kulman’s compelling book, we learn about this remarkable program from the inside, sharing the stress of the “murder boards,” the revelation of applying the classics to current geopolitical situations, and the crucial importance of fast decision-making under duress. Teaching Common Sense weaves together on-site reporting, archival research, and original survey data into an intellectual history of the Grand Strategy program.

De la Chine

De la Chine
Pour la première fois, Henry Kissinger consacre un ouvrage à un pays qu’il a connu intimement, et dont il a participé à façonner les relations avec l’Occident. Parce que nul pays ne peut se prévaloir d’un lien plus fort avec son passé et ses principes fondateurs, toute tentative pour comprendre le rôle que jouera demain la Chine dans le monde doit passer par une familiarisation avec sa longue histoire. Pendant des siècles, l’Empire du Milieu a traité les peuples à sa périphérie comme des États vassaux. Parallèlement, les dirigeants chinois – confrontés à des menaces d’invasion extérieure et à la lutte contre des factions rivales à l’intérieur – ont développé une pensée stratégique prônant la subtilité et de la patience, sans oublier les prouesses militaires. S’appuyant aussi bien sur des archives historiques que sur sa connaissance personnelle des leaders chinois des quarante dernières années, Kissinger met ici en lumière les mécanismes internes de la diplomatie chinoise lors d’événements cruciaux tels que les premières confrontations de la Chine avec les puissances européennes modernes, la construction et la rupture de l’alliance sino-soviétique, la guerre de Corée ou encore le voyage historique de Richard Nixon à Pékin. Il fait revivre des figures historiques comme Mao, Zhou Enlai et Deng Xiaoping, montrant comment la propre vision de chacun a façonné la destinée moderne de la Chine. Grâce à ce point de vue exceptionnel sur les relations sino-américaines et leur évolution au cours des soixante dernières années, De la Chine offre une perspective unique sur les affaires étrangères chinoises, par l’un des plus grands hommes d’État du XXe siècle.

Leadership
« Les leaders pensent et agissent à l’intersection de deux axes : le premier, entre le passé et l’avenir ; le second entre les valeurs immuables et les aspirations de ceux qu’ils dirigent. » H. K. Dans Leadership, Henry Kissinger retrace la vie de six leaders hors du commun et leurs stratégies emblématiques dans l’art de gouverner. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Konrad Adenauer a réinscrit l’Allemagne vaincue et en faillite morale dans la communauté des nations par ce que Kissinger appelle « la stratégie de l’humilité ». Charles de Gaulle a placé la France aux côtés des Alliés victorieux et lui a redonné sa grandeur historique par « la stratégie de la volonté ». Pendant la guerre froide, Richard Nixon a donné un avantage géostratégique aux États-Unis par « la stratégie de l’équilibre ». Après vingt-cinq ans de conflit, Anouar el-Sadate a apporté une vision de paix en Égypte et au Moyen-Orient par « la stratégie de la transcendance ». Contre vents et marées, Lee Kuan Yew a créé une ville-État puissante, Singapour, par « la stratégie de l’excellence ». Enfin, alors qu’à son arrivée au pouvoir, la Grande-Bretagne était perçue comme « la malade de l’Europe », Margaret Thatcher a régénéré le moral et la position internationale de son pays par « la stratégie de la conviction ». Dans le style magistral qu’on lui connaît, Kissinger apporte pour chaque étude son expérience historique et sa connaissance personnelle de ces leaders. Ses réflexions et ses jugements sur l’ordre du monde renforcent la conviction que le leadership est aujourd’hui plus indispensable que jamais. Henry Kissinger a été conseiller à la Sécurité nationale, puis secrétaire d’État sous Richard Nixon et Gerald Ford. Il a également conseillé de nombreux autres présidents américains sur la politique étrangère. Il a été lauréat du prix Nobel de la paix en 1973. Traduit de l’anglais (États-Unis) par Odile Demange

In this controversial and monumental book - arguably his most important - Henry Kissinger illuminates just what diplomacy is. Moving from a sweeping overview of his own interpretation of history to personal accounts of his negotiations with world leaders, Kissinger describes the ways in which the art of diplomacy and the balance of power have created the world we live in, and shows how Americans, protected by the size and isolation of their country, as well as by their own idealism and mistrust of the Old World, have sought to conduct a unique kind of foreign policy based on the way they wanted the world to be, as opposed to the way it really is. Spanning more than three centuries of history, from Cardinal Richelieu, the father of the modern state system, to the "New World Order" in which we live, Kissinger demonstrates how modern diplomacy emerged from the trials and experiences of the balance of power of warfare and peacemaking, and why America, sometimes to its peril, refused to learn its lessons. His intimate portraits of world leaders, including de Gaulle, Nixon, Chou En-lai, Mao Tse-tung, Reagan, and Gorbachev, based on personal experience and knowledge, provide the reader with a rare window on diplomacy at the summit, together with a wealth of detailed and original observations on the secret negotiations, great events, and the art of statesmanship that have shaped our lives in the decades before, during and since Henry Kissinger was himself at the center of things. Analyzing the differences in the national styles of diplomacy, Kissinger shows how various societies produce special ways of conducting foreign policy, and how Americans, from the very beginning, sought a distinctive foreign policy based on idealism. He illustrates his points with his own insights and with examples from his own experience, as well as with candid accounts of his breakthrough diplomatic initiatives as Nixon''s foreign policy partner. Informed by deep historical knowledge, wit, a gift for irony, and a unique understanding of the forces that bind and sunder nations, Kissinger''s Diplomacy is must reading for anyone who cares about America''s position in the world.
