The World in Turmoil : Why Geopolitics Matters

Omtale

In an era of wildcard world leaders, conflict and souring historic alliances, the world can seem like a very troubled place. If 'might' really is 'right', how can the countries of the world co-exist and survive?John Andrews untangles the complex threads of geopolitics that both bind us - and threaten to tear us apart. From military might to soft power and empires to rogue states, the book takes the long view of the factors that influence relations between countries, complete with a jargon-busting A-Z of key terms and concepts. The result is a clear-sighted analysis of the themes and trends governing global politics - and why we ignore them at our peril.
