The former editor-in-chief of the Economist returns to the territory of his bestselling The Sun Also Sets to lay out a fresh analysis of the growing rivalry between China, India, and Japan—what it will mean for America, the global economy, and the twenty-first-century world.

Closely intertwined by their fierce competition for influence, markets, resources, and strategic advantage, China, India, and Japan are shaping the world to come. Emmott explores the ways in which their sometimes bitter rivalry will play out over the next decade—in business, global politics, military competition, and the environment—and reveals the efforts of the United States to turn the situation to its advantage as these three powerful nations vie for dominance. This revised and updated edition of Rivals is an indispensable guide for anyone wishing to understand Asia's swiftly changing political and economic scene.

      Emmott's overview of the future of Asia reads like a long article from THE ECONOMIST, of which Emmott was the editor for many years. It intersperses revealing stories of Chinese, Japanese, and Indian culture with barrages of financial figures and quantitative analysis. The stories work better for the casual listener than does the quantitative analysis, but, in sum, the account is quite engaging. Bill Wallace has a deep, clear voice and well-measured cadence. The choice of an American to read the work of the cosmopolitan, but essentially Oxonian, Emmott is unexpected but does not detract from the work as a whole. F.C. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine

      Over the past 20 years, some of the most striking economic growth in history has been taking place in Asia, and former Economist
      editor-in-chief Emmott (The Sun Also Sets
      ) combines solid economic and political analysis with entertaining personal accounts to discuss three countries in the center of the phenomenon. Emmott paints richly detailed portraits of China, India and Japan, examining the global implications of their growing rivalry while remaining attentive to issues that extend beyond the region, such as the environment and nuclear weapons proliferation. Several of his conclusions are familiar: China’s rapid economic growth is coming into conflict with its political authoritarianism; there is vast potential for India’s growth if public policy can properly encourage it; Japan’s aging and shrinking population could lead the country into further economic decline. The true strength of the book lies in Emmott’s ability to guide the reader through the intricate—often fraught—relationships between these countries without losing focus. Particularly welcome is his ability to discuss potential trouble spots in the region without degenerating into alarmism. This serious and stimulating book will be indispensable to anyone interested in where these countries are headed—and where they might take us.
