Ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union ended the old, neat division between East and West, people have been inventing new ways of dividing up the world. In the 1990s it was fashionable to talk about America, Europe and Japan. Today pundits draw the line between emerged and the emerging markets. Joel Kotkin, a geographer, suggests another frame of reference. In "The New World Order", a paper for the Legatum Institute, a think-tank in London, he looks at the world through the prism of culture. The ties of history and habit--of shared experiences and common customs--can explain a lot about who does business with whom. Mr Kotkin quotes Ibn Khaldun, a 14th-century Arab historian: "Only tribes held together by a group feeling can survive in a desert." Substitute "globalised economy" for "desert" and this describes the modern world quite well. Mr Kotkin's argument chimes with recent research. The World Values Survey divides the world into big cultural zones (the Confucian zone, the English-speaking zone, etc) on the basis of common values.
