Geopolitical Atlas, Yves Lacoste

Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia – all are global hot spots and theaters of conflict whose repercussions extend far beyond their regional borders. These events are closely linked to the emergence of international terrorist networks, new oil routes, and new countries possessing nuclear power. Since September 11, 2001, the American hyperpower has felt threatened, and the balance of power is shifting. The originality of this atlas lies in its analysis of all these phenomena, connecting them to one another through the superimposition of maps of different world regions at different scales. It is these maps and this vision that made Yves Lacoste's previous book, Géopolitique, la longue histoire d'aujourd'hui (Geopolitics, Today's Long History), so successful. This new Geopolitical Atlas, which includes new maps and updated text, is specifically dedicated to analyzing current events and the major geopolitical changes of recent years.
