Power is shifting—from large, stable armies to loose bands
of insurgents, from corporate leviathans to nimble
start-ups, and from presidential palaces to public squares.
But power is also changing, becoming harder to use and
easier to lose. As a result, argues award-winning columnist
and former Foreign Policy editor Moisés Naím, all
leaders have less power than their predecessors, and the
potential for upheaval is unprecedented. In The End of
Power, Naím illuminates the struggle between
once-dominant megaplayers and the new micropowers
challenging them in every field of human endeavor. The
antiestablishment drive of micropowers can topple tyrants,
dislodge monopolies, and open remarkable new opportunities,
but it can also lead to chaos and paralysis. Drawing on
provocative, original research and a lifetime of experience
in global affairs, Naím explains how the end of power is
reconfiguring our world.
