This forward-looking volume introduces a five-stage maturity model categorizing economies by development, trade needs, and geopolitical potential. It provides policymakers and leaders with a new lens for understanding cooperation in a fragmented world order.

More than theory, it is a call for greater empathy and collaboration between economies at different stages of maturity, offering a pathway toward shared prosperity and stability.

Leading on from Churchill’s vision and New World Order, we look forward with Winston’s compass and challenge to 21st Century leadership.

A must-read for anyone following U.S-China relations, global trade wars, or the fragility of international cooperation, this book asks: Is a new world order possible or is the old one collapsing before our eyes?

Nations rise, mature, and struggle just like people.

In this bold work of thought leadership, Steve Jones introduces a five stage Lifecycle of Nations Model to explain how economies evolve, what they need from trade, and how cooperation can be reimagined.

From emerging market to global powers, this framework reveals the patterns behind growth, stagnation, and renewal. A practical guide for policymakers, business leaders, and globally engaged readers, The Lifecycle of Nations offers fresh insight into building prosperity and peace in a fractured world.
