In The Triangle of Power, Finnish President Alexander Stubb argues that we are living through a hinge moment in history, akin to 1918, 1945 or 1989. A new international system is taking shape, driven by three major forces: the Global West, the Global East and the Global South. At the centre is the escalating competition between the United States and China, as both try to forge bilateral deals and regional alliances, but it is the Global South that will ultimately determine whether the future tilts toward cooperation or fragmentation.
Drawing on decades at the front lines of diplomacy, and blending personal insight with political and academic experience, Stubb delivers a passionate call for values-based realism and dignified foreign policy - and warns that unless the West learns to listen, it will lose its place in the world it once led.
"If I was asked to choose any leader in Europe to lead a discussion of the state of the world, I would choose Alex Stubb. This is a book that policymakers and the public need to read." --William Hague
"This book could not be more timely or necessary." --Fiona Hill
"A bold attempt at a geopolitical synthesis by one of those rare scholars who can not only talk the talk but also walk the walk in the corridors of power." --Niall Ferguson
"Alexander Stubb is one of the most incisive, experienced and thoughtful political leaders in Europe today. One can only hope that Europe will listen to his advice." --Timothy Garton Ash
"Alexander Stubb is a rare, perhaps unique, figure who manages to combine the role of head of state and public intellectual. In his new book he describes the emerging new world order with insight and authority." --Gideon Rachman
