The Grand Chessboard [brzezinski] May 2026

In The Grand Chessboard (1997), Zbigniew Brzezinski argues that American global supremacy depends on maintaining dominance over the Eurasian landmass, which he identifies as the central, axial continent for power, economic resources, and population. The work outlines a geostrategy for the U.S. to manage key geopolitical players and prevent the rise of a rival coalition, specifically highlighting the importance of securing a "democratic bridgehead" through eastward expansion.
