To rule Eurasia’s waves : the new great power competition at sea / Geoffrey F. Gresh
Publication details: New Haven ; London : Yale University Press , 2020 Description: 363 p. : mapas ; 25 cmISBN: 9780300234848Subject(s): Geopolítica | Nuevo orden mundial | Espacio marítimo | Derecho marítimo internacional | Comercio internacional | Relaciones internacionales | Asia | ÁrticoAbstract: Eurasia’s emerging powers—India, China, and Russia—have increasingly embraced their maritime geographies as they have expanded and strengthened their economies, military capabilities, and global influence. Maritime Eurasia, a region that facilitates international commerce and contains some of the world’s most strategic maritime chokepoints, has already caused a shift in the global political economy and challenged the dominance of the Atlantic world and the United States. Climate change is set to further affect global politics. With meticulous and comprehensive field research, Geoffrey Gresh considers how the melting of the Arctic ice cap will create new shipping lanes and exacerbate a contest for the control of Arctic natural resources. He explores as well the strategic maritime shifts under way from Europe to the Indian Ocean and Pacific Asia. The race for great power status and the earth’s changing landscape, Gresh shows, are rapidly transforming Eurasia and thus creating a new world order.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
