Sinossi
Lo status plurisecolare dell'Occidente come centro della ricchezza e del potere globale sta volgendo al termine. Di fronte all'ascesa di nuove potenze come la Cina e l'India nell'ordine gerarchico mondiale, in che modo dovrebbero reagire i Paesi occidentali? Kishore Mahbubani sostiene in maniera appassionata e provocatoria che l'Occidente non può più imporre il proprio potere e i propri ideali al Resto del Mondo; è solo prendendo coscienza del proprio declino che i Paesi occidentali possono prepararsi per un successo strategico a lungo termine. Mahbubani esamina i miti e le auto-illusioni del potere occidentale con l'occhio critico di un osservatore esterno: la sconvolgente freschezza della sua analisi geopolitica offre a tutti gli occidentali e ai pensatori politici materia su cui riflettere. Introduzione di Enrico Letta.

I thought that a book written by a diplomate from the South would give a view that is different from the Western view that one can benefit from. It doesn't, it is written w Leggi tutto
I found this a powerful and challenging read and a welcome change of perspective from our own bubble of national concerns. He reminds his readers of how the world in general is improving, becoming more peaceful, safer and richer. Meanwhile the West's "flailing" (a very appropriate word, I'd say) is
Some interesting ideas here, but largely a very shallow analysis unworthy of a senior diplomat and commentator. Some of the bits I found worth quoting: The reality that the West has to deal with is that the primary strategic challenge for America is not the same as the primary strategic challenge fo Leggi tutto
Um livro que podia ser muito melhor do que é. Extremamente enviesado no leque político, com mensagens claramente de campanha. Não é o melhor sobre o assunto. Não recomendo
“Provocative & thought provoking. Bracing like a cold shower.” - Prof Danny Quah, who succeeded Kishore Mahbubani as Dean LKY School of Public Policy A love letter to the West. 1. Why does the West matter? 2. Why the West has lost its way? 3. What can be done? West as role model & inspiration for the hu Leggi tutto
An anti-American, anti-Trump pamphlet (equals The West = United States) reminiscent of the not-aligned movement of the seventies. It lacks depth of thoughts and only scratches the surface of the issue. Expected more insights on economic, cultural, political and managerial differences between two (or Leggi tutto
