With a career spanning over three decades in the Singapore Foreign Service, including stints as Permanent Representative to the United Nations and twice as President of the UN Security Council, Mahbubani has shaped international discourse on geopolitical shifts. His writings challenge Western-centric views, advocating for a multipolar world where Asia plays a pivotal role.

Mahbubani's works, including the commemorative edition of 20 Years of Can Asians Think?, continue to provoke thought on cultural, economic, and political dynamics in the 21st century.
