Question

In his book, Khanna redefines the term Second World. What is the difference between the old and new definition?

Answer 1

Answer:

The difference between the old and new definition of the Second World is that formerly, Second World countries were under subjection of Soviet Union or American dominance but now, according to Parag Khanna, they have become smarter and enage with First World Countries to suit their own interests.

Explanation:

Parag Khanna is an Indian American and holds expertise in foreign affairs. He wrote a book titled 'The Second World: How Emerging Powers are Redefining Global Competition in the Twenty-first Century.'

In his book, he wrote about the Second World Countries as an emerging power of the 21st Century. According to Parag Khanna, the Second World of the 21st century has redefined its meaning by operating smarter.

Formerly, the Second World countries were those who were under subjection of First World  countries and had to concern them for any decisions.

But now, these countries are in transition; transition of power. These countries have now grown smarter and have engaged themselves with countries of the First World to suit their own interests without giving much benefits to them, in return. Khanna, in his book, asserts that these countries are moving towards to win the race of power and become and outdone First World Countries.
