Produktinformationen zu „Flashpoints “
The New York Times bestselling author and geopolitical forecaster George Friedman (The Next 100 Years, The Next Decade) offers an engrossing portrait of modern-day Europe, with an accessible take on its remarkable history and a thoughtful examination of the political, cultural, and geographical flashpoints where conflict is smoldering once again.
Klappentext zu „Flashpoints “
New York Times bestselling author and geopolitical forecaster George Friedman delivers a fascinating portrait of modern-day Europe, with special focus on significant political, cultural, and geographical flashpoints where the conflicts of the past are smoldering once again. For the past five hundred years, Europe has been the nexus of global culture and power. But throughout most of that history, most European countries have also been volatile and unstable-some even ground zero for catastrophic wars. As Friedman explores the continent's history region by region, he examines the centuries-long struggles for power and territory among the empires of Spain, Britain, Germany, and Russia that have led to present-day crises: economic instability in Greece; breakaway states threatening the status quo in Spain, Belgium, and the United Kingdom; and a rising tide of migrants disrupting social order in many EU countries. Readers will gain a new understanding of the current and historical forces at work-and a new appreciation of how valuable and fragile peace can be.
