Misperceptions in World Affairs

Kamil Siddiqi

Although globalisation is creating opportunities for prosperity for all, it is also threatening the economic domination of a handful of countries. As a consequence, such countries are investing heavily in tactics designed to undermine the social, political and economic credibility of other nations, while maintaining their own stranglehold. The author references history, current affairs and popular media to back his thesis that all is not how it appears to be.
