About This Book
As the international order begins to crumble, this incisive book asks what the rise of the Asian superstates means for the future. The Western-dominated world we have known for the past three hundred years is coming to an end. As America withdraws from its role as enforcer of the international order, other countries are moving in to fill the void. Among them are two rising Asian ‘superstates’. Accounting for more than a third of the world’s population, China and India have the potential to wield
Our Review
This timely geopolitical analysis examines the seismic shift in global power as China and India ascend to challenge Western dominance. Vince Cable methodically traces how these Asian superpowers, representing over a third of humanity, are reshaping international relations amid America's retreat from global leadership. The book presents a sobering assessment of how three centuries of Western-oriented world order are giving way to a multipolar system where Asian values and interests will increasingly dictate global norms.
What distinguishes this work is its balanced perspective—neither alarmist nor dismissive about the implications of this power transition. Cable's economic background provides particularly insightful analysis of how trade patterns, technological competition, and financial systems will evolve under Asian influence. Readers seeking to understand the forces that will define the coming decades will find this an essential guide to the new geopolitical landscape emerging before our eyes.
