Summary

In The Future of the Jews, Stuart E. Eizenstat, a senior diplomat of international reputation, surveys the major geo-political, economic, and security challenges facing the world in general, and the Jewish world and the United States in particular. These forces include the shift of power and influence from the U.S. and Europe to the emerging powers in Asia and Latin America; globalization and the new information age; the battle for the direction of the Muslim world; non-traditional security threats; and changing demographics, which pose a particular challenge for Jews worldwide. He argues that these forces uniquely impact Jews, giving rise to a new anti-Semitism that seeks to delegitimize Israel as a Jewish state and threatening the strategic alliance between the United States and Israel. Eizenstat's provocative analysis will be of interest to everyone concerned about the future of Jews worldwide and in Israel and the United States' role in a world that confronting unprecedented simultaneous, cataclysmic changes.
