Description
The West's two-century epoch as global powerhouse is coming to an end. A new world order, with China and India as the strongest economies, is dawning. Kishore Mahbubani argues that the West can no longer presume to impose its ideology on the world and must stop seeking to intervene in the affairs of other nations. He examines the West's greatest follies of recent times, including the humiliation of Russia at the end of the Cold War and the invasion of Iraq after 9/11. To continue playing a key geopolitical role, the West must recognise its changing status and seek to influence rather than dominate. Mahbubani delivers a timely analysis of how this can be achieved through diplomacy and multilateral institutions of global governance.
