McFaul’s book draws on historical case studies and firsthand expertise to diagnose the rise of autocratic powers—primarily China and Russia—and their impact on the modern world system. He offers a critique of outdated Cold War paradigms and details how shifting alliances, the resurgence of far-right and isolationist politics, and escalating international competition are challenging Western democracies. The book outlines practical reforms and a new strategic vision for democratic nations to respond effectively to growing authoritarian trends and defend the global order.
