The World As It Is. In the decades since the end of WW2, it has been widely assumed that the western model of liberal democracy and free trade is the way the world should be governed. However, events in the early years of the 21st century have threatened the general acceptance that continued progress under the benign gaze of the western powers is the only way forwards.
