Sir Vince Cable, previously Secretary of State for Business and a former President of the Board of Trade, sees China and India as the rising Asian superstates – ready to fill the void as the Western dominated world declines. In Eclipsing the West, Vince Cable analyses the shifts in power and asks what it means for the future.  China is already challenging the US as the world’s dominant global economy and India is likely to become the second biggest economic power by the middle of the century.  Drawing on new research and a lifetime of political and economic experience, he analyses what might happen as China and India forge a new world and he considers the implications for trade, international law and the fight against climate change.
