Parag Khanna is Director of the Global Governance Initiative and Senior Research Fellow in the American Strategy Program at the New America Foundation. He is author of The Second World: Empires and Influence in the New Global Order (Random House, 2008).
First world/ third world. The second world doesn't come up in the discussion much. Here's an essay describing the new interconnections that are making for an interesting if more complicated world. Apparently Khanna has been an adviser to Obama over the last year or so. I saw him being interviewed by the insufferable Charlie Rose. He's very sharp. Refreshingly, he mentions that today it is not a matter of whether some of these countries are pro or anti U.S., but whether they think of the U.S. at all.
