The Dawn of Eurasia - Bruno Macaes

'Brilliant bold and beautifully told ... A profound piece of political thinking' Ben Judah author of This Is London In this original and timely book Bruno Macaes 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 Macaes 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 Macaes 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.
