Asia vs. the West

For two centuries Asians have largely been bystanders in world history, reacting to surges of Western commerce, thought, and power.

Now former United Nations Ambassador Kishore Mahbubani -- whom Foreign Policy magazine ranked as one of the top 100 public intellectuals in the world -- declares that era is over and the West must embrace rather than resist this structural shift.

Video of this April 28 event is available at right. For more on Mahbubani, his book and the arguments he puts forth, please see this recent post on The Washington Note.
