What the next world order looks like
British author Rana Dasgupta's new book 'After Nations: The Making and Unmaking of a World Order' argues that the U.S.-led world order is unwinding and returning to a centuries-old power structure with nation-states resembling regional empires. Dasgupta claims that American dominance is in retreat and no single nation is poised to take over as the next global superpower.
British author Rana Dasgupta's new book explores the changing world order. The U.S.-led world order established after World War II is unwinding, with American dominance in retreat. Dasgupta argues that the world is returning to a centuries-old power structure, with nation-states resembling regional empires. Several forces drive this shift, including China's emergence as an economic and technological colossus and Silicon Valley's growing geopolitical influence. The U.S. is also blamed for its own dwindling reach due to its short-term approach and reliance on military force. Nation-states face problems delivering political rights and freedoms, and are being disrupted by Big Tech.
