Description
Thirty years after the dawn of a new era of freedom and prosperity in 1989, the world has entered a period of faltering momentum. Jonathan Holslag explores how the West's sources of strength were lost to rising consumerism, unbalanced trade, and half-hearted diplomatic engagement, while other powers like China and Russia grew stronger.
The failure of the West to listen to its people, show clear leadership, and reinvent itself is revealed as the key factor in the world's current state. Holslag navigates through the complex threads of global politics from the Cold War to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, providing a nuanced understanding of how the world arrived at this point.
This insightful analysis offers a fresh perspective on the challenges facing the West and the implications for international relations in the 21st century.
