Thought-provoking and well worth reading, the Times Literary Supplement has shortlisted the book for the Parliamentary Book Awards. After decades of peace and prosperity, the international order established after World War II is rapidly coming to an end. Disastrous foreign wars, global recession, the meteoric rise of China and India, and the COVID pandemic have undermined the power of the West's international institutions and unleashed the forces of nationalism and protectionism.

In this lucid and groundbreaking analysis, one of Britain's most experienced senior diplomats highlights the key dilemmas Britain faces, from trade to security, arguing that international cooperation and solidarity are the surest ways to prosper in a world more dangerous than ever.

The book explores the challenges posed by the rise of authoritarianism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and the growing inequality between countries. It also examines the role of the United Nations, NATO, and other international organizations in addressing these challenges.

The author argues that the West must work together to promote democracy, human rights, and the rule of law, and to confront the threats posed by authoritarian regimes and terrorist organizations. He also suggests that the West should prioritize economic development and job creation to reduce poverty and inequality.

The book is a valuable contribution to the debate about the future of international relations and is sure to be of interest to policymakers, scholars, and anyone concerned about the world's future.
