This book examines the state of America’s socio-political system. It offers a critical review of America’s leadership approach, qualifications, and quality. It also evaluates the impact of challenges by emerging economic powers such as China and India. It looks at the effect of globalization on leadership risks, requirements, and challenges. America’s leadership may soon be challenged unless it recognizes the changing demands of the new globalized world.
