Abstract

Focuses on the nature of world affairs and its impact on international business. Proposes three scenarios, China asserting its regional role, the India‐Pakistan war over Kashmir and peace in the Middle East. Cites that any of these scenarios constitute a real threat to world stability. Ascertains that irrationality is a persistent state of world affairs and is not yet the legacy of yesterday’s world.
