Description
Summary:In a speech to Chatham House in March 2012, Parag Khanna of the New America Foundation reasoned that many random events, or seemingly random events, are in fact unified by one theme called globalisation and that as they become truly global in the 21st century it will present many new challenges for them. In this speech the author wants to consider the complexity of globalisation and how it relates to one of the most fundamental tasks facing civilized societies: that of bringing in to being government ministers cognizant of the issues facing their societies and having the tools to deliver results. The globalised world is one where issues of geopolitics, sustainability, poverty, child labour, terrorism, renewable energy and water are not only intertwined, but where the cords between them are more taught than at any previous time in human history.
