In the first book to investigate the far-reaching emotional impact of globalization, Dominique Moïsi shows how the geopolitics of today is characterized by a “clash of emotions.” The West, he argues, is dominated and divided by fear. For Muslims and Arabs, a culture of humiliation is quickly devolving into a culture of hatred. Asia, on the other hand, has been able to concentrate on building a better future, so it is creating a new culture of hope. Moïsi, a leading authority on international affairs, explains that in order to understand our changing world, we need to confront emotion. And as he makes his case, he deciphers the driving emotions behind our cultural differences, delineating a provocative and important new perspective on globalization.

Dominique Moïsi is a founder of and now a senior adviser to the French Institute of International Affairs (IFRI) in Paris. He writes a column for the Financial Times and contributes to Foreign Affairs. In spring 2009 Moïsi was a visiting professor in the Department of Government, and the Pierre Keller Visiting Professor at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, at Harvard University. He is a Professor of International Relations at the College of Europe in Natolin (Warsaw).
