After publishing articles in leading American journals for over two
decades, Kishore Mahbubani was described as "an Asian Toynbee,
preoccupied with the rise and fall of civilizations" by The
Economist . Trained in philosophy in North America and Asia, and
well-experienced in real politik as a diplomat on the world stage,
Mahbubani has unusual insight into America's ever more troubled
relationship with the rest of the world. In Beyond the Age of
Innocence Mahbubani reveals to us the America that Asia and the
rest of the world see. We are a country that has given hope to
billions by creating a society where destiny is not determined at
birth. After the Second World War, we created a global order which
allowed many nations to flourish. But when the Cold War ended,
America made a terrible mistake. We started behaving like a normal
country, ignoring the plight of others, indifferent to the
consequences of our decisions on others. America was imprudent in
its policy towards two large masses of mankind: the Chinese and
Muslim populations. Guantanamo damaged our moral authority, but Abu
Ghraib, paradoxically, may have demonstrated the accountability of
American institutions. Still, disillusionment with America has
spread to all corners. To allow any lasting gap between America and
the world, Mahbubani argues, would be a colossal strategic mistake
for America and a huge loss to the world. But there is still time
for the US to change course and in this thoughtprovoking, visionary
book, Mahbubani shows us how.
