The book is set against the backdrop of the dawn of a New Millennium, the 21st century, and takes a sweeping and kaleidoscopic view of the world as it is likely to evolve over a 50-year horizon. While it is futuristic in its premise, it attempts to build scenarios based on historical facts, illustrations and deep personal perspective of evolving international relations; it is a study of the emerging challenges and geopolitical equations, showcasing shifting dynamics that will continue to influence how nations play their roles in the world arena. The author endeavours to create a credible imagery backed by cogent thoughts on the world that will be, in this new Millennium.
