Description
An urgently needed “risk map” of the numerous dangers that could derail Asia’s growth and stability
Since Marco Polo, the West has waited for the “Asian Century.” Lately, the world believes that Century has arrived. Yet from China’s slumping economy to war clouds over the South China Sea and from environmental devastation to demographic crisis, Asia’s future is increasingly more uncertain. Historian and geopolitical expert Michael Auslin argues that far from being a cohesive powerhouse, Asia is a fractured region threatened by stagnation and instability. Here, he provides a comprehensive account of the commercial, military, political, and demographic risks that bedevil half of our world, arguing that Asia, working with the US, has a unique opportunity to avert catastrophe – but provided that it acts boldly. Bringing together firsthand observations and decades of research, Auslin’s provocative reassessment of Asia’s future can be a should‑read for industry and investors, in addition to politicians and scholars, for future years.
