1. You did not seem to understand the difference between Russian and Middle East's current problems that he stated. 2. He didn't say Chinest Govt. will control and specifically pointed out that it is no longer about conquering countries rather buying/leasing them. However, it would seem that while Russians leaving the area and Chinese moving in would inevitably cause a border change (war most likely)! 3. Chinatowns in Vancouver, SF and NYC do not border China!

This is what Evgeny Morozov had to say about Parag Khanna in one of his book reviews published by The New Republic: All of these insights are expressed in linguistic constructions of such absurdity and superficiality (“a world of ever-shifting (d)alliances,” “peer-to-peer micromanufacturing marketplace”) that Niall Ferguson’s “Chimerica” looks elegant and illuminating by comparison. Khanna must be a gifted schmoozer, too: the acknowledgments sections of his books are primary documents of contemporary name-dropping. Khanna’s contempt for democracy and human rights aside, he is simply an intellectual impostor, emitting such lethal doses of banalities, inanities, and generalizations that his books ought to carry advisory notices. Khanna does not really care about the details of policy. He is a manufacturer of abstract, meaningless slogans. He is, indeed, the most talented bullshit artist of his generation. newrepublic.com/article/105703/the-naked-and-the-ted-khanna

It is interesting to listen to this 10 years later, seeing what Dr. Khanna got right and what he got wrong. I don't understand why he used such bad maps in his presentation. Maybe he thinks using badly drawn maps means he doesn't have to talk about disputed borders which are not the focus of his talk. As for the content, it is interesting to note globalisation has in fact begun to reverse in the West, but is still accelerating in Asia. The peaceful European Union turns out to be the part that is in political crisis. He got the 'Silk Roads' correct as China is heavily focused on building the infrastructure that Dr. Khanna proposes doing. But by an large, territorial changes have not happened. 'Kurdistan' hasn't become independent. None of Iraq, Afghanistan or Pakistan got broken up. Greenland (whose population is 55,000 not 600,000) isn't actually independent. South Sudan did gain its independence, but the rest of Sudan is still one country. None of the other African countries (no matter how artificially create) are facing territorial crises. Maybe we should check back again in another 10 years to see what else he got right/wrong.

[@MrPoornakumar]

eip81 ! Kurds are spread over not only in Iraq's north, but in Turkey, Syria, & a sliver in Iran too. If Kurdistan has to go independent, it isn't just Kurdistan in Iraq alone. The issue is pregnant of many oppositions & possibilities. However he did mention about Kurds in Iraq alone (I don't expect him to be unaware of Kurds in other countries too) & their perceived autonomy from the Iraq'a Central government, bestowed by 'Oil'.Some tribes are clearly un-Islamic calling back to pre-Islamic days. How can they be accommodated in any future scheme? Or will they be fully suppressed?

A city is, by definition, a state organization. That's like saying "how could you have the US without having a government?" You couldn't, because the thing that is the US is defined by the state that arbitrarily claims control over it. Assuming you mean an anarchic community, it would be governed by the interactions of the people within it. There would be no difference in governing services, such as courts, with the exception that there is no monopoly on those services.
