This open access book consists of essays written by Kishore
Mahbubani to explore the challenges and dilemmas faced by the West
and Asia in an increasingly interdependent world village and
intensifying geopolitical competition. The contents cover four
parts: Part One The End of the Era of Western Domination. The major
strategic error that the West is now making is to refuse to accept
this reality. The West needs to learn how to act strategically in a
world where they are no longer the number 1. Part Two The Return of
Asia. From the years 1 to 1820, the largest economies in the world
were Asian. After 1820 and the rise of the West, however, great
Asian civilizations like China and India were dominated and
humiliated. The twenty-first century will see the return of Asia to
the center of the world stage. Part Three The Peaceful Rise of
China. The shift in the balance of power to the East has been most
pronounced in the rise of China. While this rise has been peaceful,
many in the West have responded with considerable concern over the
influence China will have on the world order. Part Four
Globalization, Multilateralism and Cooperation. Many of the world's
pressing issues, such as COVID-19 and climate change, are global
issues and will require global cooperation to deal with. In short,
human beings now live in a global village. States must work with
each other, and we need a world order that enables and facilitates
cooperation in our global village.
