Prof. Mahbubani is a former Singapore diplomat and author of several books like Can Asians Think? and more recently The Great Convergence: Asia, the West and the Logic of One World.
He also continues to be a notable academic, serving on the Boards and Councils of several institutions worldwide, including the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs and theYale President's Council on International Activities.
Said Prospect managing editor Jonathan Derbyshire, "Kishore Mahbubani's work certainly grapples with some of the biggest questions of our time, sketching as it does the contours of a new era in which the west can no longer take its primacy for granted."
