Parag Khanna on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos

http://www.cbc.ca/thehour

Former Advisor to Barack Obama, Parag Khanna says the days of America dominating global politics alone, are over. Author and consultant to the Obama campaign, Parag says a new world order is taking shape, with three superpowers - the U.S., China and the European Union. But that's not all. Along with the three superpowers, Parag says another movement is emerging. He calls it 'The Second World' - countries like Uzbekistan, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, who are between the rich and powerful 'first world,' and the underdeveloped 'third world.' Parag says they're shrewd, savvy and they just might hold the balance of power. 'The Second World' - by the way - is also the name of Parag's new book.

I've watched so many Strombo interviews that I'm starting to read everything in his voice... I don't mind, just saying.

I have his book, How to Run the World, a pre-publishing version. He makes very good points on global economy and diplomacy's future faces. I think the book is well worth a read whether one agrees with Parag Khanna. You will gain further insight into the interlocking geopolitical landscape and the future role of diplomats in a social-economically intertwined global civilization.

@Iamawake100 As soon as you mentioned Alex Jones I completely lost all respect for the rest of your argument.

[JAVEDRUHI]

He is not even 35 by I am taken by his intelligence. The book is absolutely fantastic.

[TheDonkeybusiness]

no impressed.. completely by passed rebellion and freedom movements in india.. kashmir and assam... biased SOB... just promoting his indian vision.

Check out Max Igan, Alex Jones, Jordon Maxwell and many many more. Stop watching this silly show, any truth it does have, is padded with falsehoods. Canada is no different than the US. As Trudeau said, when you sleep beside an Elephant, you must be on constant guard of it rolling over. We guess what, the US is well on the way, rollin over and Canada right along with it. Don't take my word for it..Research it, instead of listening to filtered news.

George is just a shill of the coporations. Acting like he is some kind of journalist. He may be an intelligent guy, but he has sold out to the CBC. Canadian Brainwashing Corporation. He has opportunity to actually get some truth out there, but he chooses to sit and talk with mostly celebs. Information from George. Yeah right. MMB0jb, you are right there we could, been dumbed down, however the Elite are doing it. WAKE UP.  Research it, don't listen to what's on TV, they OWN TV.

[lovejen01]

the U.S. never wanted the titled of world leader it fell into our lap, since the Spanish American War(it prevented Spain having control shipping lanes) include everytime thier is crisis who does everyone trust the U.S. . Parag Khanna like to correct him on couple of things 1st lot of the problems started before Bush another his boy has made no decisions in entire year, the worst kind of leader to have is one that make no decision.
