John Andrews explores our troubled world in this successor to The World in Conflict, which sold over 30,000 copies

A powerful analysis of the future of global politics from one of The Economist's most experienced foreign correspondents Now more than ever, might is right - or so today's strongman leaders would have us believe. In this era of conflict and souring alliances, how will the world's nations co-exist and survive? From military might to soft power and from empires to rogue states, The World in Turmoil takes the long view of factors that influence modern politics, untangling the complex threads that both bind us and threaten to tear us apart. Complete with a jargon-busting A-Z of key terms, it offers a clear-sighted analysis of the trends governing global politics - and why we ignore them at our peril.
