Lee Kuan Yew

The Grand Master's Insights on China, the United States, and the World
By Graham Allison, Robert D. Blackwill and Ali Wyne

When Lee Kuan Yew speaks, presidents, prime ministers, diplomats, and CEOs listen. Lee, the founding father of modern Singapore and its prime minister from 1959 to 1990, has honed his wisdom during more than fifty years on the world stage. Almost single-handedly responsible for transforming Singapore into a Western-style economic success, he offers a unique perspective on the geopolitics of East and West.

Avoiding Nuclear Anarchy

Containing the Threat of Loose Russian Nuclear Weapons and Fissile Material
By Graham Allison, Owen R. Coté, Steven E. Miller and Richard A Falkenrath

What if the bomb that exploded in Oklahoma City or New York's World Trade Center had used 100 pounds of highly enriched uranium? The destruction would have been far more vast. This danger is not so remote: the recipe for making such a bomb is simple, and soon the ingredients might be easily attained. Thousands of nuclear weapons and hundreds of tons of weapons-grade uranium and plutonium from the weapons complex of the former Soviet Union, poorly guarded and poorly accounted for, could soon leak on to a vast emerging nuclear black market.

The essays in The Greek Paradox look at some of the reasons for this gap and suggest possible political and economic reforms.
