I have always respected Fareed Zakaria. I own test-prep centers and foreign university matching agencies in 3 Asian countries. I do not really teach often anymore, as I have fantastic teachers and my job as the owner is more managerial support in nature after growing the brand. However, I do provide my instructors with requirements for different courses. Mister Zakaria's essay on The Rise of Illiberal Democracy that was published in 1997 is always a required resource for students to use in essay writing. He is a fantastic scholar. I have found it quite amazing that his past predictions presented in all of his earlier writings always come to fruition.
I think that time has shown that Fareed Zakaria and Richard Haas' premise have proven to be more prescient than Adrian Karnitsky's more idealist opinion.
