The Graying of the Great Powers offers the first comprehensive assessment of the geopolitical implications of "global aging"--the dramatic transformation in population age structures and growth rates being brought about by falling fertility and rising longevity worldwide. It describes how demographic trends in the developed world will constrain the ability of the United States and its traditional allies to maintain national and global security in the decades ahead. It also explains how dramatic demographic change in the developing world--from resurgent youth bulges in the Islamic world to premature aging in China and population implosion in Russia--will give rise to serious new security threats. While some argue that global aging is pushing the world toward greater peace and prosperity, The Graying of the Great Powers warns that a period of great geopolitical danger looms just over the horizon. Neither the triumph of multilateralism nor democratic capitalism is assured. The demographic trends of the twenty-first century will challenge the geopolitical assumptions of both the left and the right.

In this new application book, Neil Howe and William Strauss explain how the Millennial Generation of students has been shaking up today's schools-from hyper-involved parents to new issues over school security, from shifting perceptions of "college-ready" and "school-to-work" curricula to the struggle to get pressured, consensus-oriented students to think outside the box. In the book, co-published with the American Association of School Administrators, Howe and Strauss also analyze the recent shift from Boomer to Generation X parents and the new Gen-X focus on accountability, transparency, and choice. And they explain still other generational changes shaking up today's teacher corps. For each issue, the authors offer a hands-on list of "what to dos" for anyone involved in K-12 education
