Peter Frankopan is a Professor of Global History at Oxford University, Director at the Oxford Centre for Byzantine Research and an author. In the west we tend to have a view that our own political, economical and cultural situations are the most important on the planet. We tend to believe that we are principally shaping the direction the world heads in. Today Peter offers an alternative view which identifies the rapid rate of change seen in Asia over the last few years which could change not only the financial and commercial but the cultural focus of the globe.
