Zbigniew Brzezinski's *The Grand Chessboard* (1997) argues that U.S. global primacy depends on maintaining dominance over Eurasia, the world's central, resource-rich landmass. Brzezinski outlines a geostrategy to prevent any single rival power from controlling this region, focusing on managing key states in Europe, Russia, and Central Asia to ensure America remains the sole superpower. Brzezinski advocates for a "benevolent hegemony" that uses alliances and military presence to maintain stability. He considers this management of Eurasia crucial for the U.S. to transition from being a dominant power to establishing a more cooperative global community.
