About

Join Vince Cable for a timely conversation about the shifting balance of global power. Drawing on Eclipsing the West, the former Secretary of State for Business and Trade argues that the 300-year era of Western dominance is giving way to a new world shaped by the rise of China and India.  

As these two vast nations move towards superstate status, they are becoming both strategic rivals and indispensable partners in tackling global challenges, from climate change to pandemic prevention. 

Part history, part political analysis and part strategic briefing, this event asks how the UK and its allies should navigate a multipolar future in which the West is no longer the centre of the world.
