West's decline: A reflection into its future

"Has the West Lost It?" is a thought-provoking read that examines the downfall of the West in the current global order. The author argues that the West can no longer impose its ideology on the world and must recognize its changing status to continue playing a role in geopolitics. Maintaining democracy and reason through diplomacy rather than force is critical to world peace, and the West must promote it via multilateral institutions of global governance such as the UN. This book is for those interested in international relations and the future of the West in current times.

Description

The West's centuries-old status as the center of global wealth and power is coming to an end. As the new powers—China and India from Asia and others from Africa and Latin America—rise to the top of the world's pecking order, how should the West react? Kishore Mahbubani argues passionately and provocatively that the West can no longer impose its power and ideals on the world at large, and—paradoxically—that only by admitting its decline can the West set itself up for strategic success in the long term. Mahbubani examines the myths and self-delusions of Western power with an outsider's critical eye, and the shocking freshness of his geopolitical analysis will give all Westerners and political thinkers pause for thought.
