Items related to Can Asians Think? Third Edition
Can Asians think? Is Western civilization universal? Does the West promote human rights for altruistic reasons? Since 1998, Kishore Mahbubani has attempted to answer these questions in his provocative collections of essays entitled CAN ASIANS THINK? Now, in the third edition of this work, Mr. Mahbubani includes two new essays which discuss the changing role and importance of the United Nations.
As the Singapore Ambassador to the United Nations, Mr. Mahbubani has a unique understanding of the inner workings of this organization. For two years he sat on the UN Security Council. In his new essay, "Power Without Responsibility, Responsibility Without Power?" Mr. Mahbubani discusses the importance of the security council and the relationship between the permanent 5 and elected 10 members.
In his second new essay, "The United Nations and the United States: An Indispensable Partnership", Mr. Mahbubani addresses the fragile US-UN relationship that often made headlines this past year.
With his straightforward style and unique perspective, Mr. Mahbubani's book is still as relevant today as it was in 1998. The new material provides a fresh look at the ever-changing role of the United Nations.
