The Future is Asian delves into the rich history of Asian civilizations engaging in robust patterns of commerce and culture—and the rediscovery of those ties in the post-Cold War world—and offers intriguing ideas on the potential for an ‘Asianisation’ of the global order. Parag Khanna makes a strong case for an Asia coming of age, driven by confidence in Asia’s own past and the plurality that is inherent to the region. His suggestion that Asia offers an ideal alternative to the declining hegemony of the west is provocative and visionary. A stimulating read.
