Quotes by Jack Watling  (?)

“It seems increasingly clear that foreign policy institutions in the West have not only lost the competitive instincts in how they conceive of the challenge they face, but that the process of policymaking are inimical to being competitive. The institutions presume intervene to defuse crises, and sustaining deterrence to avoid conflict. But a multipolar competitive global order is unstable. And if states are not able to plan effectively within that environment, they risk becoming part of the bloodlands of the emerging struggle between the great powers.”
Jack Watling, Statecraft: The essential read to understand our world - as featured on The Rest is Politics
