The provocative bestseller explaining the decline of power in the twenty-first century -- in government, business, and beyond.

But power is also changing, becoming harder to use and easier to lose. In The End of Power, award-winning columnist and former Foreign Policy editor MoiséNaÃilluminates the struggle between once-dominant megaplayers and the new micropowers challenging them in every field of human endeavor. Drawing on provocative, original research and a lifetime of experience in global affairs, NaÃexplains how the end of power is reconfiguring our world.
