![]() ![]() ![]() Zeihan bases all his elaborations on two pillars: (1) the United States no longer needs the rest of the world or some of its regions in particular (on the one hand, fracking gives it energy independence, and on the other, it no longer has a planetary military enemy that forces it to seek alliances as when it faced the USSR) (2) the withdrawal of the US will leave the seas without custody and this will mean the end of the global scale trade that has been expanding since 1945.ĭeadline In previous books, as their titles indicate, Zeihan has been delving into the medium and long term consequences of the new reality of the USA as an 'absent superpower' (a world preeminence, on the other hand, achieved in an 'accidental' way, since it is based on geography) and whose absence will fracture relations between countries and increase their conflicts. Zeihan has been involved in geopolitical strategy for some time - he was at Stratfor and then went independent with his own signature - and his three previous books have all pointed in the same direction ('The Accidental Superpower', 'The Absent Superpower' and ' Disunited Nations'). Peter Zeihan details in almost five hundred pages what the world will be like once globalization collapses: these are not 'imaginations', he assures, but the result of a serious process of prospective analysis. Many warn of the coming de-globalization, but very few imagine it in detail. ![]()
