About the Book

Preparing for the Twenty-First Century by Paul Kennedy is a far-reaching and thought-provoking analysis of the major global forces shaping the modern world. In this substantial 428-page volume, Kennedy examines economic shifts, technological innovation, demographic changes, environmental pressures, and geopolitical realignments that nations must confront as they move toward a new era.

Renowned for his global perspective and rigorous research, Kennedy explores how countries can adapt to rapid transformation while balancing economic growth, social stability, and international cooperation. The book does not merely forecast trends—it evaluates the structural strengths and weaknesses of major world powers and assesses their preparedness for the challenges of globalization.

Published by HarperCollins Publishers in 1993, this hardback edition remains highly relevant for readers interested in international relations, global economics, public policy, and strategic studies. Preserved in good condition, it is an excellent addition to academic libraries, policy research collections, and for readers seeking a comprehensive understanding of late 20th-century global dynamics.
