I've almost completed reading Part Khanna's The Future is Asian and will soon post a review on my other blog, Pursuing Leadership by Denny. Joshua Kim's brief summary and encouragement of readers to pick up a copy of Khanna's book mirrors what I believe - everyone around the world (not only Americans) need to understand the rise of Asia and begin to think of how to embrace it rather than fear it.
The political environment in many places around the world is in turmoil. Some areas are benefitting from Asian (and particularly Chinese) investment and engagement while other countries fear and strive to counter the emergence of stronger economies and talent throughout Asia. Kim's essay doesn't advocate a particular approach but suggests that higher education needs to devise a strategy and get on with it. And the higher education strategy needs to be contextualized within the history that Khanna summarizes and the copious details that he relates about strides being made across various areas of Asia.
