Titel: The Return of Marco Polo's World
Auteur: Robert D. Kaplan
ISBN: 9780812986617
Conditie: Beetje gebruikt

A bracing assessment of U.S. foreign policy and world disorder over the past two decades from the bestselling author of The Revenge of Geography and The Coming Anarchy

[Kaplan] has emerged not only as an eloquent defender of foreign-policy realism but as a grand strategist to whom the Pentagon turns for a tour dhorizon.The Wall Street Journal

In the late thirteenth century, Marco Polo began a decades-long trek from Venice to China along the trade route between Europe and Asia known as the Silk Roada foundation of Kublai Khans sprawling empire. Now, in the early twenty-first century, the Chinese regime has proposed a land-and-maritime Silk Road that duplicates exactly the route Marco Polo traveled.

Drawing on decades of firsthand experience as a foreign correspondent and military embed for The Atlantic, Robert D. Kaplan outlines the timeless principles that should shape Americas role in a turbulent world that encompasses the Chinese challenge. From Kaplans immediate thoughts on President Trump to a frank examination of what will happen in the event of war with North Korea, these essays are a vigorous reckoning with the difficult choices the United States will face in the years ahead.

Praise for The Return of Marco Polos World

Elegant and humane . . . [a] prophecy from an observer with a depressingly accurate record of predictions.Bret Stephens, The New York Times Book Review

These essays constitute a truly pathbreaking, brilliant synthesis and analysis of geographic, political, technological, and economic trends with far-reaching consequences. The Return of Marco Polos World is another work by Robert D. Kaplan that will be regarded as a classic.General David Petraeus (U.S. Army, Ret.)

Thoughtful, unsettling, but not apocalyptic analyses of world affairs flow steadily off the presses, and this is a superior example. . . . Presented with enough verve and insight to tempt readers to set it aside to reread in a few years.Kirkus Review (starred review)

An astute, powerfully stated, and bracing presentation.Booklist

This volume compiles sixteen major essays on Americas foreign policy from national security commentator Kaplan. . . . An overview of thoughtful, multilayered positions and perspectives evolving through changing circumstances.Publishers Weekly
