Fort Worth, Texas – The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) today announced Peter Zeihan, geopolitical strategist and author of “The Accidental Superpower: The Next Generation of American Preeminence and the Coming Global Disorder,” will deliver remarks on Saturday, April 9 at the 139^th annual Cattle Raisers Convention opening general session.

Geography and demography are transforming the international structure. Economic and political systems designed for the post-WWII era are finding it impossible to shift onto a new footing. The notable exception is the United States, uniquely well-positioned to enter a politically stable, economically dynamic, youthful and very soon energy-independent era. Zeihan’s presentation, “Approaching the American Age,” will focus on how the United States will stand apart, even thrive, as many of America’s current competitors simply fall away.

Zeihan is a geopolitical strategist who has lived in the world of international affairs throughout his career. Zeihan approaches the world from his clients’ points of view, distilling global complexities into actionable items. He is a frequent guest on national and international television news shows on CNN, ABC and Fox News and is frequently interviewed for radio programs.

Those interested in attending Zeihan’s presentation should register for the Cattle Raisers Convention by visiting www.cattleraisersconvention.com.
