The Post-American World: And the Rise of the Rest

The Post-American World New in paperback!

‘Thought-provoking and important…read Zakaria to know what has, should and will happen’—Observer

‘The world is changing, as power shifts from the West…to the rest’

The growth of countries such as India, China, Brazil, Russia, South Africa and Kenya is generating a new landscape. The tallest buildings, biggest dams, best-selling movies and most advanced mobile phones are now all being made outside Europe and the United States. Countries that previously lacked political confidence and national pride are finding them.

Is this an opportunity, or a threat? Fareed Zakaria’s acclaimed bestseller has been heralded as the most thought-provoking book yet on our uncertain times. With lucidity, insight and imagination, he shows how the West must transform its global strategy, moving from a position of hegemony to one that recognizes this seismic power shift. The future we how face is the Post-American World.
