GLOBAL CHALLENGES AND THE EMERGING WORLD ORDER ...

This book offers a fascinating overview of the challenges posed by the world's new geostrategic
order and likely future directions. It opens with an unconventional view of the Arab Spring 
identifying its origins in the relative US withdrawal from the Middle East caused by both the
need for military disengagement for economic reasons and the discovery of shale gas and tight
oil in the heart of the North American continent. The rise in the geostrategic importance of
Putin's Russia is explored in this context. The implications of the worldwide economic crisis
are analyzed in depth: the author's interpretation is that the world is entering a phase of
unstable growth generated by hyper financialization and deflation. Against this background  the
book explores the US attempt to trigger growth through the Transatlantic Trade and Investment
Partnership  the impact of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (based on the US-Australia military
alliance) in restraining China's advance  and the potential for Africa to become the driver of
the world's economic future if it can resist Chinese penetration and continue the
nation-building process.
