The Post-American World
Not about the decline of America, Zakaria argues, but "the rise of the rest": a world where power and growth spread to many nations, and how the US can lead within it.
Zakaria insists his subject is not American decline but “the rise of the rest”: the emergence of China, India, Brazil, and others as centers of growth and confidence. In this more crowded world, he argues, the United States retains huge advantages but must learn to lead by consensus rather than command, acting as an honest broker among rising powers. Measured and optimistic, it reframes a century of anxious talk about decline into a question of how to adapt.
