The New Continentalism - Energy and Twenty-First-Century Eurasian Geopolitics (Paperback)

In this groundbreaking book, Kent Calder argues that a new transnational configuration is developing in Asia, driven by economic growth, rising energy demand, and the collapse of longstanding geopolitical boundaries. What Calder calls the New Silk Road - a strengthening multifaceted relationship between the Far East and the Middle East - could eventually eclipse the Atlantic Alliance as the most important multilateral relationship in the world. Straddling the border between comparative politics and international relations theory, this important book will bring a much-needed dialogue to both sides.
