L'épaisseur du monde [French]

By François Heisbourg

The world is becoming more and more complex: interdependent networks proliferate as well as those who use them; technological revolutions and challenges that involve the entire planet continue to emerge while threats of 'hyper-terrorism' multiply... Who, or what is going to hold power in this increasingly 'thick' world of ours? How will decisions be taken? According to what criteria ? After the era of American dominance, are we entering the era of Asian hegemony ?
In this book, Fran ois Heisbourg draws an outline of what tomorrow's world may be - a world that will not necessarily be less brutal, but where brutality will have less impact. To understand and address the thickness of that world is the challenge that our societies and those who govern us have to face today.
A regular contributor to a variety of TV and radio programs, the author is a well known media figure and a recognized specialist of his field.
Heisbourg's is a clearly and cogently argued book on a topic that concerns every one of us.
