'Brilliant bold and beautifully told ... A profound piece of political thinking' Ben Judah
author of This Is LondonIn this original and timely book Bruno Maçães argues that the best
word for the emerging global order is 'Eurasian' and shows why we need to begin thinking on a
super-continental scale. While China and Russia have been quicker to recognise the increasing
strategic significance of Eurasia even Europeans are realizing that their political project is
intimately linked to the rest of the supercontinent - and as Maçães shows they will be
stronger for it. Weaving together history diplomacy and vivid reports from his six-month
overland journey across Eurasia from Baku to Samarkand Vladivostock to Beijing Maçães
provides a fascinating portrait of this shifting geopolitical landscape. As he demonstrates we
can already see the coming Eurasianism in China's bold infrastructure project reopening the
historic Silk Road in the success of cities like Hong Kong and Singapore in Turkey's
increasing global role and in the fact that revealingly the United States is redefining its
place as between Europe and Asia. An insightful and clarifying book for our turbulent times
The Dawn of Eurasia argues that the artificial separation of the world's largest island cannot
hold and the sooner we realise it the better.
