About this book

Our world is transformed by rapid and profound change in all areas: Bio-security and pandemics; global warming; demography and migration; cyber, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing; US domestic polices; liberal democracy under siege; the international financial system; a world becoming more multipolar with the rise of China and the coming ``Asian century''. Winkler, in his new book, analyzes what that change means, and how we can cope with it. Sectorial answers do not suffice any longer. What is needed is integrated change management. The book offers a detailed analysis of the global situation. A must for all politically interested.Theodor H.Winkler is a retired ambassador and "security policy thought leader" (Neue Zürcher Zeitung), architect of Swiss security policy, advisor in the Swiss Foreign and Defence Ministries, founding father of the Geneva Centres and the "Maison de la paix". Author ofLiving in an Unruly World - The Challenges We Face(2019), The Dark Side of Globalization - And How to Cope with It(2018), The Box was Happy that I was Thinking Outside of It - Memoirs(2018).
