"The 21st century will be the Asian century."
Kishore Mahbubani is a Singaporean diplomat, scholar, and global thinker who has spent his career urging the West to see the world through non-Western eyes. A former President of the United Nations Security Council and Singapore's former Ambassador to the UN, Mahbubani is among Asia's most influential voices on geopolitics and the shifting balance of global power.
Mahbubani has shaped the intellectual debate on what he calls "the great convergence"—the historic return of Asia to the global center stage. His books, including Has the West Lost It? and The Asian 21st Century, have been translated worldwide and taught in universities from Beijing to Boston.
“There is no more thoughtful observer of Asia, the United States, and their interaction than Kishore Mahbubani.” — Larry Summers
