Book Description

Per comprendere quel che accade nel mondo abbiamo sempre studiato la politica, l’economia, i trattati internazionali. Ma senza geografia, suggerisce Tim Marshall, non avremo mai il quadro complessivo degli eventi: ogni volta che i leader del mondo prendono decisioni operative, infatti, devono fare i conti con la presenza di mari e fiumi, di catene montuose e deserti. Perché il potere della Cina continua ad aumentare? Perché l’Europa non sarà mai veramente unita? Perché Putin sembra ossessionato dalla Crimea? Perché gli Stati Uniti erano destinati a diventare una superpotenza mondiale? Le risposte a queste domande, e a molte altre, risiedono nelle dieci fondamentali mappe scelte per questo libro, che descrivono il mondo dalla Russia all’America Latina, dal Medio Oriente all’Africa, dall’Europa alla Corea. Con uno stile chiaro e una prosa appassionante, Marshall racconta in che modo le caratteristiche geografiche di un paese hanno condizionato la sua forza e la sua debolezza nel corso della storia e, così facendo, prova a immaginare il futuro delle zone più calde del pianeta.
