Easternisation is the defining trend of our age - the growing wealth of Asian nations is transforming the international balance of power. This shift to the East is shaping the lives of people all over the world, the fate of nations and the great questions of war and peace. Gideon Rachman offers a road map to this turbulent process that will define the international politics of the twenty-first century. Longlisted for the Orwell Prize 2017.
