The Triangle of Power: Rebalancing the New World Order
Not yet published
Expected 13 Jan 26The liberal world order that emerged after the Second World War – and expanded triumphantly following the Cold War – is unravelling. Multilateral cooperation is giving way to multipolar rivalry and conflict. Global norms are eroding. What comes next will define the rest of the century; the search is on for a new global framework – a rebalancing of power.
In The Triangle of Power, Finnish President Alexander Stubb argues that we are living through a hinge moment in history, akin to 1918, 1945 or 1989. A new international system is taking shape, driven by three major the Global West, the Global East and the Global South. At the centre is the escalating competition between the United States and China, as both try to forge bilateral deals and regional alliances, but it is the Global South that will ultimately determine whether the future tilts toward cooperation or fragmentation.
Drawing on decades at the front lines of diplomacy, and blending personal insight with political and academic experience, Stubb delivers a passionate call for values-based realism and dignified foreign policy – and warns that unless the West learns to listen, it will lose its place in the world it once led.
