Michael Wesley (2015) | Feudal World

Globalism is a Western construct which may not survive in its current form. Asia’s rising powers are starting to look past global institutions to construct alternatives which could see what we know as the global community become obsolete. Michael Wesley deconstructs our current realities as finite as “just because globalism is so basic to how we live doesn’t mean it’s inevitable and here to stay”. 

Michael Wesley is a Professor of National Security at the Australian National University. He is currently the Director of the Coral Bell school of Asia Pacific Studies in the college of Asia and the Pacific at the ANU. He consults extensively for the Australian government. His latest book Restless Continent: Wealth, Rivalry and Asia's New Geopolitics was released in 2015.
