The World in Turmoil

Now more than ever, might is right - or so today's strongman leaders would have us believe. In this era of conflict and souring historical alliances, how will the world's nations co-exist and survive?

The World in Turmoil untangles the complex threads of geopolitics that both bind us and threaten to tear us apart. From military might to soft power and from empires to rogue states, John Andrews takes the long view of the factors that influence relations between countries, complete with a jargon-busting A-Z of key terms and concepts to help us navigate the changing landscape. He offers a clear-sighted analysis of the themes and trends governing global politics - and why we ignore them at our peril.
