More than half of the world's population lives in Asia and the Middle East — and is becoming more and more alienated from America. In his new book Kishore Mahbubani explains provocatively why. 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. To allow any lasting gap between America and the world, he argues, would be a strategic mistake for America and a loss to the world.
Kishore Mahbubani is the former Singaporean ambassador to the United Nations. He currently is Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore.
