About this listen
'A must-read to understand the often bewildering world we now live in, written as a scholarly book in an accessible tone' - READER REVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Iran. Greenland. Ukraine. Global politics as we know it has been challenged beyond measure in recent times.
Westlessness by former UK diplomat Dr Samir Puri is here to help make sense of these continual, seismic shifts to the world order. In this book, he vividly demonstrates how in demographic, economic, military and cultural terms, we are hurtling towards an unprecedented global future. Many of our certainties about the present, built on centuries of massive Western global impact, are increasingly fragile. Untold wealth is moving from the West to the East, as nations like India and Indonesia are set to reach new heights of growth and confidence. And China continues its ascent to the peak of the economic mountain - but are cracks appearing? And will the Western world, under the aegis of US global military, economic, technological and cultural power, give up its privileged position willingly?
Nothing is linear and nothing is predictable. Are we prepared, personally and professionally, for a far more diverse global future?
Prepared or unprepared, Westlessness is our guide to a new world order. ©2024 Samir Puri
