An enthusiastic congratulations to GOOD contributor Parag Khanna for making Esquire's list of the 75 most influential people for the 21st Century (and the century only just got underway!) Esquire says: "Amid the recent surge of dashing political-military-international-affairs intellectuals, Khanna stands out as young, original, and roughed up. He spent two years humping the terrain of 50 developing countries to research The Second World: Empires and Influence in the New Global Order." Indeed!Khanna wrote "Peshawar Politics," a piece from GOOD 005 on what the Pashtun people of Pakistan can teach America about foreign policy. We mentioned his book in the blog here and here.
