Shape of world's future lies in the non-Western states

SINGAPORE (Jan 25): The fate of the world lies heavily in what happens in the 85% of the world's population that lives outside of North America and Europe, particularly Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.

These are the words of Afshin Molavi, Senior Fellow at the Johns Hopkins SAIS Foreign Policy Institute, who in Credit Suisse Research Institute’s 2018 Davis special report, The Future of Politics, discusses how rapid urbanisation, growing middle classes and unprecedented connectivity is shaping and reshaping this “85 World”.

The report, released today, examines the outlook for global politics and highlights the struggles of liberal democracy while the global economy and financial markets have emerged from an almost decade-long recession.
