Product Description

Product Description
In this book, one of Asia's leading intellectuals illuminates what will be on the agenda as Western domination ends and the Asian renaissance impacts world politics, markets and history.For centuries the Asians (Chinese, Indians, Muslims and others) have been bystanders in world history. Now, they are ready to become co-drivers.Asians have finally understood, absorbed and implemented Western best practices in many areas: from free-market economies to modern science and technology, from meritocracy to rule of law. They have also become innovative in their own way, creating new patterns of cooperation not seen in the West.Will the West resist the rise of Asia? The good news is that Asia wants to replicate, not dominate, the West. For a happy outcome to emerge, the West must gracefully give up its domination of global institutions, from the IMF to the World Bank, from the G7 to the UN Security Council.History teaches that tensions and conflicts are more likely when new powers emerge. This too may happen. But they can be avoided if the world accepts the key principles for a new global partnership spelled out in this book.

About the Author
Professor Kishore Mahbubani of the National University of Singapore has had a distinguished career in diplomacy and writing. He is the author of Can Asians Think? and Beyond the Age of Innocence. In 2005, Foreign Policy magazine ranked him as one of the top 100 public intellectuals in the world.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good analysis; recommended, 4 Feb 2009
By Rjm Theunens (Belgium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book starts with a detailed analysis of the (possible) courses of action for the "West" in its future relations with Asia. I found this analysis most impressive; a true eye-opener. The author does an excellent job in explaining the background to the often opposite views of the "West" and Asia on the international level, highlighting the often too important role of short-term political opportunism in "Western" decision-making. The author is a strong supporter of China. Based on the fact that the book is mainly intended for a "Western" audience, the author could have spent more attention on some of the criticism that can be heard in the "West" against China. In the second half of the book, there are a few instances where it seems that the author falls in the same trap of stereotyping, he criticises the "West" for. One example: an unfortunate diplomatic incident is used to support the conclusion that "all Europeans view Asian culture with disdain...". I find this somewhat surprising for such an author and such a book. Still, I would certainly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in "globalisation" and wants to go beyond Thomas Friedman.
