This timely book builds exquisitely on the author’s previous studies illuminating Eurasia’s geoeconomic and political transformation—this time making legible how the strategic geography of sea lanes on and beneath the seas is redrawing the Eurasian political map. Eurasian Maritime Geopolitics offers critical insights into the transformation of the Eurasian ‘supercontinent’ for scholars and policymakers, and a fascinating read for anyone interested in world affairs.
