Khanna, Parag

Parag Khanna (b. 1977) is an Indian-American international relations expert and geopolitical strategist whose work intersects with philosophical discussions about global governance, cosmopolitanism, and the role of religious and cultural values in shaping world order. While not primarily a philosopher of religion, his writings in "How to Run the World" (2011) and "How to Run the World: Charting a Course to the Next Renaissance" engage with questions about transcultural ethics and the place of religious traditions in contemporary global society. Khanna's vision of a "mega-diplomatic" world order implicitly addresses how diverse religious worldviews and value systems can coexist and contribute to global governance. His work on connectivity and technocratic solutions to global challenges raises philosophical questions about the relationship between secular governance frameworks and traditional religious sources of meaning and authority in an interconnected world.
