Synopsis

Rise and demise of nations are man-made and can be humanly controlled. These are neither naturally determined nor divinely fated. This book captures the root-process presiding over the problems, challenges, and the opportunities nations of the world face today. America has a three-dimensional problem. Its "process controls" have equated its purpose controls. Internally, it has developed integration energy traps. Externally, it has created a dangerously "interest-based" world order. America must move to the "next level" of human collectivity; or an Armageddon might hit us all within the next few decades. The Muslims' idea of State is too invalid, antiquated and perilously "anti-liberty" to allow large political systems to evolve in the Islamic world. It has been incessantly sinking back into anarchy. The "Arab Spring" is continuation of medieval, chaotic and "identity-based" shift of power, devoid of "value" and political mass. With the given trends, the world must be ready for more Talibans, Bin Ladens, and Al-Qaedas, possibly equipped with weapons of mass destruction. India and China have big N-factor. But at controls level, unsustainability afflicts China and an age-old "identity clamp" is failing India. Both nations will see reversals in near future. China must realize that "economic future" is a component of "political future"; not the other way round. India must understand that democracy divorced from political creativity leads back to tyranny and anarchy. The basis of the entire debate is "Integration Energy Theory" which explains the reality of human togetherness in a timeless and non-spatial manner.

About this title

About the Author

A journalist, traveler, public servant, social and a political observer-Aleem Akhtar-has unlocked a unique insight into the nature of human interaction. His work on "Integration Energy Theory of Human collectivity" has placed sociological and political theory at the same pedestal of unity, elegance and mathematical amenability as we see in the field of economics. His ideas are simple, but add up to an elaborate conceptual framework in which all "human happenings" can be understood through self-evident linkages of "facts" and processes. Aleem Akhtar's main interest in writing "Laws of Rise and Demise" is to put the questions of integration and fragmentation of human groups into the limelight of objectivity and control. What distinguishes him from the other authors on this subject, is that, instead of indulging in useless intellectual exercise, he comes up with practical strategy and solutions. He connects the cause with effects, purpose with process, micro with macro, and control with direction.
