Publisher's Synopsis
""Our New Masters"" is a thought-provoking book written by Thomas Wright that delves into the rise of authoritarianism and the changing power dynamics in the international arena. The author argues that the world is witnessing a shift towards a new era of authoritarianism, with countries such as China, Russia, and Turkey gaining more influence and challenging the traditional Western liberal order.The book explores the reasons behind this shift, such as the failure of Western democracies to address the concerns of their citizens, the rise of populism, and the erosion of trust in institutions. It also examines the impact of this trend on global governance, human rights, and the future of democracy.Wright draws on a wide range of examples to illustrate his arguments, from the crackdown on civil society in Russia to the Belt and Road Initiative in China. He also provides insights into the strategies that authoritarian regimes use to maintain their power, such as propaganda, censorship, and surveillance.""Our New Masters"" is a timely and compelling book that offers a fresh perspective on the changing dynamics of power in the world.
