The Triangle of Power : Rebalancing the New World Order

In The Triangle of Power ,

Finnish President Alexander Stubb argues that we are living through a hinge

moment in history, akin to 1918, 1945 or 1989. A new international system is

taking shape, driven by three major forces: the Global West, the Global East

and the Global South. At the centre is the escalating competition between the

United States and China, as both try to forge bilateral deals

and regional alliances, but it is the Global South that will ultimately

determine whether the future tilts toward cooperation or fragmentation.

Drawing on decades at the front lines of diplomacy, and blending

personal insight with political and academic experience, Stubb delivers a

passionate call for values-based realism and dignified foreign

policy - and warns that unless the West learns to listen, it will lose

its place in the world it once led.
