Episode 281: The Future is Asian with Parag Khanna by analyseasia published on 2019-01-15T06:51:48Z Parag Khanna, futurist, TED speaker and founder of Futuremap, joined us to discuss his book "The Future is Asian". We kick off the conversation on the main themes of the book, and taking the Asian perspective on how we should look at world history. We discuss the geopolitical landscape of Asia, and why China's Belt and Road Initiative will not led to a bi-polar world but will shift the rest of Asia towards independence and have the ability to assert their identity in the next century. Last but not least, Parag shared his advice for those out there who might want to come to Asia and why the future is truly Asian. Genre Business Comment by Rick Lee Still think that the world is divided between US and China, but of course, we have to see if India will rise too. Good job, Parag. 2019-01-15T07:06:02Z Comment by bujingyun Well, how I wish the conversation will be longer, and it will be interesting to hear how India and Indonesia are shaping up to be the next growth wave for Asia as well. 2019-01-15T07:05:01Z Comment by prodigal Great to see Parag's new book discuss the Asian geopolitical landscape from an Asian perspective, not some US or western centric view. 2019-01-15T07:02:48Z Comment by whitewarlord Saw his interview recently on the book and looking forward to read the book. The perspective on Belt and Road Initiative from China will not result in a two superpowers dominating is spot on. 2019-01-15T07:01:47Z
