"Autocrats vs. Democrats examines the competing ideologies shaping US, China, and Russia relations today, how we got here, what's at stake, and where US foreign policy can go next.

"In Autocrats vs. Democrats, Michael McFaul offers a history, an analysis, and a set of prescriptions for the greatest geopolitical challenge of our time: the threat to the democratic world posed by China and Russia.

"In this tour de force of history, theory, and policy experience, Michael McFaul illuminates the evolving conflicts and alignments between the United States and its illiberal great power rivals, tracing the contemporary world order's journey from the optimistic expectations of post-Cold War liberal internationalists to today's troubled moment." - G. John Ikenberry, author of A World Safe for Democracy: Liberal Internationalism and the Crises of Global Order
