Now, with the inexorable rise and rise of China, the ascendancy of authoritarianism and the retreat of democracy, the world stands at a moment of crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a time of momentous upheaval and enormous geopolitical shifts, compounded by global pandemics, looming world depression, Islamist and far right terror, and a resurgent white supremacy. The world is in lockdown and the showdown with China is accelerated - and while the West has been at the forefront of history for 200 years, it must now adapt to a world it no longer dominates. At this moment, we stand on a precipice - what will become of us?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStan Grant is one of our foremost observers and chroniclers of the world in crisis. Weaving his personal experiences of reporting from the front lines of the world's flashpoints, together with his deep understanding of politics, history and philosophy, he explores what is driving the world to crisis and how it might be averted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom China to North Korea and Northern Ireland to South Africa and the Middle East - Stan captures this moment of democracy in retreat and authoritarianism on the march. He fears for the worst, but begins to chart the way forward. There is bitterness, anger and history here, but there is also the capacity for negotiation, forgiveness and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stan Grant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46547814514857,"sku":"9781460758038","price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/products\/9781460758038.jpg?v=1674704413","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/with-the-falling-of-the-dusk-1","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
