There was a time when all roads led to Rome... Today, they lead to Beijing. Europe is struggling to think about its future in the face of populism and migration crises, while the United States has embarked on an unprecedented withdrawal from international affairs, at the risk of threatening former allies. Meanwhile, a wind of hope is blowing along the ancient Silk Roads. From the Middle East to China, from Russia to Iran, trade is increasing, countries are cooperating, and new alliances are being forged, ignoring outdated antagonisms. The contrast with what is happening in the West is striking. Peter Frankopan paints a multifaceted picture of today's world and explains why it is essential to understand its upheavals. In this masterful work, the internationally renowned historian picks up the thread of history where The Silk Roads (2015) left off. These routes are now expanding rapidly. What changes will their development entail for tomorrow? What will be the repercussions of this great shift in the centers of power?
