'A compelling warning ... It is hard to disagree with this advice from such a well-informed friend of the west' Martin Wolf Financial TimesThe West's two-century epoch as global powerhouse is at an end. A new world order with China and India as the strongest economies dawns. How will the West react to its new status of superpower in decline? In Kishore Mahbubani's timely polemic he argues passionately that the West can no longer presume to impose its ideology on the world and crucially that it must stop seeking to intervene politically and militarily in the affairs of other nations. He examines the West's greatest follies of recent times: the humiliation of Russia at the end of the Cold War which led to the rise of Putin and the invasion of Iraq after 9 11 which destabilised the Middle East. Yet he argues essential to future world peace are the Western constructs of democracy and reason which it must continue to promote by diplomacy rather than force via multilateral institutions of global governance such as the UN. Only by recognising its changing status and seeking to influence rather than dominate he warns can the West continue to play a key geopolitical role.'Kishore Mahbubani might well be the most intelligent friendly and doggedly persistent critic of the West. In this brief book he delivers some of his trademark analysis and pungent observations. We should all think of it as the cold shower that is urgently needed to revive the West' Fareed Zakaria author of The Post-American World
