The most effective House GOP leader of our times was the one who was also a child molester.

Very happy to see this finally out! I make the case for a decentered “mandala” international order as distinct from the better-known balance-of-power, hegemonic, and (Sino-)centric systems. @AmitavAcharya @DanielB89913888 @Rajeev_Bhargava @berggruenInst @ucpress 1/n
