4.0 out of 5 stars A compelling analysis of the potential (likely?) shifts in geopolitics in the 21st Century, 1 Aug 2008
By G. Levin - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The previous reviewer's skepticism, grounded in the fact that this book is sold in airport bookshops, is unfounded. Whilst Zakaria's arguments are not groundbreaking, he does offer a compelling account of what the future may hold. Differential rates of growth across the world (described pithily as 'the rise of the rest', as well as the shift away from the nation-state as the sole political actor, will probably see a fundamental change in the international order. This will be a slow, gradual process, and perhaps calling the product a 'post-American world' is going too far (although it is the best formulation yet, in my opinion, for the not quite uni-polar, not quite multi-polar world which is emerging). Nonetheless, for those interested in international relations and current affairs, this book is well worth reading.

1.0 out of 5 stars An Extended Newsweek Article, 19 Jun 2008
One should be suspicious of a book on global affairs sold in airport bookshops. This is a lightweight, extended Newsweek article in which Zakaria quotes his friends a lot and makes no penetrating or original observations. The chapter on India is better than the rest of the book. As Foreign Policy Lite for the next US president it will probably secure Zakaria a place in the pantheon of policy advisors. Fair enough, Zakaria seems like a nice fellow, and is probably capable of better analysis than this volume represents.
