The World: A Brief Introduction

The New York Occasions Bestseller

“An outstanding introduction to the world and world points. Richard Haass has written one thing that’s temporary, readable, and but complete—marked all through by his trademark intelligence and customary sense.” —Fareed Zakaria

A useful primer from Richard Haass, president of the Council on Overseas Relations, that may assist anybody, skilled and non-expert alike, navigate a time wherein a lot of our largest challenges come from the world past our borders.

We dwell in a world period, wherein what occurs 1000’s of miles away typically impacts our lives. Though the USA is bordered by two oceans, these oceans aren’t moats. And the so-called Vegas rule—what occurs there stays there—doesn’t apply. Globalization will be each good and unhealthy, however it’s not one thing that people or international locations can decide out of. The selection we face is tips on how to reply.

The World focuses on historical past, what makes every area of the world tick, the various challenges globalization presents, and essentially the most influential international locations, occasions, and concepts, to supply readers with the background they must make sense of this sophisticated and interconnected world.
