Buruma is wise to recommend a balance of concessions and coordination in order to avoid war.

About This Quote

Review of “The Game Changer” by Buruma focuses on the importance of cooperation between former rivals, or what he calls “the balance of concessions and coordination.” This term is used to refer to the type of cooperation that avoids war. U.S. President Barack Obama chose his words carefully when he chose to say, “I do not think that is realism,” when asked about his disagreements with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The meaning of Obama’s words was not lost on Buruma, who chose to focus on the idea of cooperation between former rivals in order to avoid war.
