Asia Society Hong Kong Center (ASHK) is pleased to host a presentation and dialogue with Amitav Acharya, Distinguished Professor and the UNESCO Chair in Transnational Challenges and Governance at the School of International Service, American University, on his latest book, The Once and Future World Order: Why Global Civilization Will Survive the Decline of the West, in conversation with Alejandro Reyes, ASHK Scholar-in-Residence and adjunct professor at the University of Hong Kong.
Is the West in decline and retreating from its role on the global stage? Is the US ceding its leading superpower status? What do these shifts mean for a rules-based international order? Or, viewed from a long-term historical perspective, is the rise of non-Western powers both inevitable and beneficial? In his new book, Professor Acharya explores what the West's decline might mean for the world and finds opportunities for creating a fairer and more balanced international system. Join ASHK to hear more about Professor Acharya's ideas and to ask your questions about his much-anticipated new book.

The epic story of the past, present, and future of world order, offering a "timely" (Odd Arne Westad, coauthor of The Great Transformation) argument that the decline of the West may be a good thing for the world.
Since the dawn of the twenty-first century, the West has been in crisis. Social unrest, political polarization, and the rise of other great powersโespecially Chinaโthreaten to unravel today's Western-led world order. Many fear this would lead to global chaos. But the West has never had a monopoly on order.
Surveying five thousand years of global history, political scientist Amitav Acharya reveals that world orderโthe political architecture enabling cooperation and peace among nationsโexisted long before the rise of the West. Moving from ancient Sumer, India, Greece, and Mesoamerica, through medieval caliphates and Eurasian empires into the present, Acharya shows that humanitarian values, economic interdependence, and rules of inter-state conduct emerged across the globe over millennia. History suggests order will endure even as the West retreats. In fact, the end of Western dominance offers us the opportunity to build a better world, where non-Western nations find more voice, power, and prosperity. Instead of fearing the future, the West should learn from history and cooperate with the Rest to forge a more equitable order.
This is the definitive account of how world order evolved and why it will survive the decline of the West.
