Welcome
I am an independent writer, speaker and consultant on international affairs. From 1993 until 2006 I was editor of The Economist, the world's leading weekly on international current affairs. I have published eight books, contributed articles to many publications and given countless talks and lectures. For my latest book, Rivals, see below.
This website is intended to provide access to or details of as many of those activities as possible, and is updated regularly. It also includes information about how to contact me about future lectures, books and articles.
New Book - Rivals
The rising economic and political power of Asia is the biggest story of our times. But it is often misunderstood, either as a story of West v East or as a story simply of the rise of China and its challenge to America.
My new book "Rivals: How the Power Struggle Between China, India and Japan will Shape our Next Decade" aims to challenge those views. The biggest story, I argue, is and will be the rivalry within Asia now that, for the first time in history, the continent contains three great powers simultaneously, all of which are starting to think of Asia as a coherent whole. The other big stories will be the economic and social changes that China, India and Japan are all destined to go through during the next decade.
