Review of Fareed Zakaria, The Post-American World.
In the upcoming May-June issue of Interface we review Fareed Zakaria's controversial work, The Post-American World.
This work has been widely reviewed and discussed. We focus, of course, upon Zakaria's assessment of the impact of the Internet. Zakaria believes that we are entering a "Post-American World." This is not merely an argument concerning the "Decline and Fall of the American Empire," but in some senses a more controversial argument. Zakaria believes that the globe is entering a historic phase in which, in many senses, the United States simply no longer matters, at least in the same senses as it used to. Zakaria believes this not to have been caused by the "Fall of the West," but by the "Rise of the Rest."
The work is properly of interest to readers of Interface simply because one of the most important causal factors in these dramatic changes is---you guessed it---the Internet.
