AA.VV
How do history, trade flows, ecological issues, religions and terrorism structure the world as we see it today? An international community, a clash of civilizations, a chaotic world, what is the state of international relations between the great powers? Against Western bias and the anxiety-provoking vision conveyed by certain media, Pascal Boniface and Hubert Védrine find logic where there seems to be only chaos. By reintroducing reason and hindsight into the analysis of a complex world, they show that one of the keys to the future is to consider the diversity of world views according to countries and peoples. Supported by an exceptionally rich library of 100 didactic maps, the authors cast an unprecedented and all-encompassing look at the planet (United States, China, India, Europe, South Africa...) and the challenges of the contemporary world.
