Parag Khanna: Diplomacy in a Borderless World
We have entered a new Middle Ages, says Parag Khanna, complete with Asian empires, Western militaries, Middle Eastern sheikhdoms, powerful media, and plenty of religious zealotry to go around. But just as the initial "dark age" gave way to the Renaissance, Khanna, author of How to Run the World, believes our time can lead to a great and enlightened age as well, with a new "mega-diplomacy" of technocrats, executives, super-philanthropists, and everyday churchgoers (think Bill Gates, Bono, Western Union, and Oxfam) assembling talent, pooling money, and deploying resources to improve the world. Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life, with University Book Store. Series supported by RealNetworks Foundation.
