520    The "Asian Century" is even bigger than you think. Far 
       greater than just China, the new Asian system taking shape
       is a multi-civilizational order spanning Saudi Arabia to 
       Japan, Russia to Australia, Turkey to Indonesia--linking 
       five billion people through trade, finance, infrastructure,
       and diplomatic networks that together represent 40 percent
       of global GDP. China has taken a lead in building the new 
       Silk Roads across Asia, but it will not lead it alone. 
       Rather, Asia is rapidly returning to the centuries-old 
       patterns of commerce, conflict, and cultural exchange that
       thrived long before European colonialism and American 
       dominance. Asians will determine their own future--and as 
       they collectively assert their interests around the world,
       they will determine ours as well. There is no more 
       important region of the world for us to better understand 
       than Asia - and thus we cannot afford to keep getting Asia
       so wrong. Asia's complexity has led to common misdiagnoses
       : Western thinking on Asia conflates the entire region 
       with China, predicts imminent World War III around every 
       corner, and regularly forecasts debt-driven collapse for 
       the region's major economies. But in reality, the region 
       is experiencing a confident new wave of growth led by 
       younger societies from India to the Philippines, 
       nationalist leaders have put aside territorial disputes in
       favor of integration, and today's infrastructure 
       investments are the platform for the next generation of 
       digital innovation. If the nineteenth century featured the
       Europeanization of the world, and the twentieth century 
       its Americanization, then the twenty-first century is the 
       time of Asianization. From investment portfolios and trade
       wars to Hollywood movies and university admissions, no 
       aspect of life is immune from Asianization. With America's
       tech sector dependent on Asian talent and politicians 
       praising Asia's glittering cities and efficient 
       governments, Asia is permanently in our nation's 
       consciousness. We know this will be the Asian century. Now
       we finally have an accurate picture of what it will look 
       like. -- Publisher description
