Henry Kissinger Quotes

Side By Side With The Limitless Possibilities Opened Up By The New Technologies, Reflection About International Order Must Include The Internal Dangers Of Societies Driven By Mass Consensus, Deprived Of The Context And Foresight Needed On Terms Compatible With Their Historical Character. In Every Other Era, This Has Been Considered The Essence Of Leadership; In Our Own, It Risks Being Reduced To A Series Of Slogans Designed To Capture Immediate Short-term Approbation. Foreign Policy Is In Danger Of Turning Into A Subdivision Of Domestic Politics Instead Of An Exercise In Shaping The Future. If The Major Countries Conduct Their Policies In This Manner Internally, Their Relations On The International Stage Will Suffer Concomitant Distortions. The Search For Perspective May Well Be Replaced By A Hardening Of Differences, Statesmanship By Posturing. As Diplomacy Is Transformed Into Gestures Geared Toward Passions, The Search For Equilibrium Risks Giving Way To A Testing Of Limits.
