'An important new book … Asia is the new world. What happens there affects us all – our jobs, our livelihoods, our prospects. It is doubtful if there will be a livelier and more thought-provoking assessment than this one' RICHARD WHELAN, IRISH TIMES
'One of the best analyses of the wider picture' IAN PINDAR, GUARDIAN
The world is changing, as political and economic power shift further towards Asia. In this penetrating book Bill Emmott shows the ways in which our future will be dominated not by one, but by three Asian giants – China, India and a newly resurgent Japan.
How will competition between the emergent great powers in the East affect the West? What will the potential benefits, tensions and danger zones be? Emmott, former editor of The Economist, is one of the world's most authoritative international commentators. In Rivals he has written the essential book for understanding how this new power game will shape the twenty-first century.
