Yet politically, these countries are drifting further apart. In \u003ci\u003eSeeing the Elephant\u003c\/i\u003e, author and emerging markets expert Peter Marber describes how increasing economic integration and the rise of new actors is drastically altering the geopolitical landscape, and offers insights on how the US can maintain a leading role in the 21st century and beyond.  \u003cp\u003eWhile America remains the single most important economy today, rising economic powerhouses — China, Russia, India, Brazil and others — bring a diverse set of interests to the table that the US cannot afford to ignore, Marber explains. Moreover, globalization has created thousands of non-state actors – corporations, banks, hedge funds, activists and even terrorists – who bring their own concerns to bear on the world system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the era of globalization, America's success hinges on the success of its neighbors, too. Yet from its invasion of Iraq to its disregard of major treaties — some recent US choices have shown little regard for these new players. As the lines between economic, defense, environmental, immigration, and energy policy become increasingly blurred, having a holistic and coherent approach to cross-border challenges is essential. Yet the forums and institutions that once coordinated these relationships – the UN, World Bank and the G7— are losing relevance and no longer adequately represent the world's expanded power roster. To remain vital, Marber believes all our multilateral institutions will require fresh ideas and revamping.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeeing the Elephant\u003c\/i\u003e demystifies globalization, and analyzes the megatrends and interconnections of the 21st century. With bold suggestions on how America reassert its historic leadership in the new global arena, \u003ci\u003eSeeing the Elephant\u003c\/i\u003e should be required reading for policy makers, businessmen and informed citizens alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Seeing the Elephant in the Twenty-First Century 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Trade and Finance: Money, Money Everywhere 43\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Energy: Twilight of the Hydrocarbons? 95\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Defense and Security: Preventing the Next War, Not Fighting the Last 137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Immigration: People, People Anywhere 181\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Promoting Tomorrow’s Health Instead of Paying for Yesterday's Ills 215\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Environment: The Hidden Cost of Everything 249\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Poverty: Remembering the Bottom of the Pyramid 291\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Driving with a New Dashboard in the Macro Quantum World 323\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 349\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 401\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Finance \u0026amp; accounting [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Finance \u0026amp; accounting\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Finance%20\u0026amp;%20accounting%20%5BKF%5D%22\"\u003eKF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52421380407576,"sku":"9781118907559","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781118907559.jpg?v=1784593711","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/seeing-the-elephant-understanding-globalization-from-trunk-to-tail-paperback-softback-9781118907559","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
