Intelligent governance for the 21st century : a middle way between West and East / [Book] : Nicolas Berggruen and Nathan Gardels. - ix, 207 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 22 cm.

As the 21st Century unfolds, both of these core systems of theglobal order must contend with the same reality: a genuinelymulti-polar world where no single power dominates and in whichsocieties themselves are becoming increasingly diverse. The authorsargue that a new system of "intelligent governance" is required tomeet these new challenges. To cope, the authors argue that bothEast and West can benefit by adapting each other s bestpractices. Examining this in relation to widely varying politicaland cultural contexts, the authors quip that while China mustlighten up, the US must tighten up. This highly timely volume is both a conceptual and practicalguide of impressive scope to the challenges of good governance asthe world continues to undergo profound transformation in thecoming decades.
