Purchase options and add-ons

There is method (history) in madness (geopolitics). We stand back confused looking at the state of the world when we forget the historic and cultural reasons for decisions taken by the principal political actors. The articles presented in this volume were published between April 2022 and October 2023. Their aim is to point out the relevant historical background which has shaped and informed current events. They are not aimed at seizing the moment, but rather explaining some long-term narratives which are defining choices made by the protagonists of today’s political affairs.

    A refreshing deep dive into modern geopolitics that goes beyond surface-level analysis. Lauritzen skillfully weaves historical patterns into contemporary events, making sense of today's global complexities. The author's ability to connect seemingly unrelated historical dots to current situations makes this an enlightening read for anyone trying to understand our international landscape.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Overall, the book is quite interesting
    Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024
    Format: Paperback
    I enjoyed this book. An interesting selection of articles on geopolitics. Unfortunately, the period of review of the publications (2022–2023 years) does not give a complete picture to analyze subsequent events. An interesting enough attempt to identify possible geopolitical narratives, but on a small time sample).

    Impressive range and depth of analysis and opinion lining contemporary problems and concerns with little - known or appreciated facts of history and precedent. Each brief essay conveys the author's intellectual competence, learning and intelligence. Stimulating and often unexpected analysis on every page. A must read for any seriously concerned commentator on today's complicated and often recondite or apparently contradictory events. Dr Lauritzen deserves the widest recognition for his skills in research, analysis and always original insights.
