At the end of the Cold War we found ourselves living in a world with one superpower the United States. Now at the start of the twenty-first century Parag Khanna argues powerfully that the moment of American supremacy is over brought about by the increasing influence of what he terms the Second World: Eastern Europe Central Asia South America the Middle East and East Asia.
