The Western-dominated world we have known for the past three hundred years is coming to an end. Two Asian 'superstates', China and India, account for more than a third of the world's population and have the potential to wield enormous economic and political power. How will these countries navigate their growing roles on the world stage? What are the implications for commerce, international law and the fight against climate change?Vince Cable has followed China and India for decades. In Eclipsing the West he offers a compelling account of what the rise of the Asian superstates means for the future.
