Zusammenfassung: | The turn -- The rise of the West -- The last turn: the West bests the rest -- The next turn: the rise of the rest -- Alternatives to the Western way -- Reviving the West -- Managing no one's world. The world is on the cusp of a global turn. Between 1500 and 1800, the West sprinted ahead of other centers of power in Asia and the Middle East. Europe and the United States have dominated the world since. But today the West's preeminence is slipping away as China, India, Brazil and other emerging powers rise. Although most strategists recognize that the dominance of the West is on the wane, they are confident that its founding ideas democracy, capitalism, and secular nationalism will continue to spread, ensuring that the Western order will outlast its primacy The world is on the cusp of a global turn.
