Abstract
The article discusses two recent books that explore the evolving global order as Western dominance declines. Amitav Acharya's "The Once and Future World Order" argues that the current international system is influenced by ideas and practices from various ancient and premodern civilizations, suggesting that the principles of diplomacy and cooperation were not solely developed in the West. In contrast, Jerrold Seigel's "Remaking the World" emphasizes the West's significant historical role in shaping modernity and global connections, attributing its unique trajectory to a fragmented European landscape that fostered innovation and imperial expansion. Both authors provide differing perspectives on the implications of a shifting global power dynamic. [Extracted from the article]
