The Multipolar World

Why the 21st Century Won't Belong to One Superpower

Beschreibung

The ground has shifted under your feet - not with a single earthquake, but with thousands of small tremors. Power no longer looks like a flag on a map; it looks like multipolar world logistics, geopolitics of supply chains, and compute capacity booked months in advance. If you have wondered why headlines promise control while prices, delays, and rules say otherwise, this book gives you the missing lens. It is a field guide to global power shifts that actually matter: access to chips and cables, leverage in alliances and minilaterals, and the quiet arithmetic behind dollar dominance and sanctions. You will learn how "systems competition" works - who sets standards, who owns chokepoints, and who pays when rules change mid-voyage. Written for founders, policy professionals, investors, and curious citizens, it translates abstractions into decisions you can make on Monday morning. - See how the rise of China creates scale and friction at once - Understand why Europe's strategic autonomy is a constraint and an opportunity - Read India swing state choices as market signals, not mysteries - The spot where African demographics growth becomes real bargaining power By the final chapter, you will think more clearly, plan with fewer blind spots, and act with practical resilience. You will know where to add redundancy, when to hedge, and how to read the world as a stack of systems instead of a tug-of-war between empires. In a century with many centres, clarity is the rarest advantage.

Autor

Levent Karaman writes about the hidden machinery of global power - the ports and corridors that move goods, the rails that move money, and the standards that move consent. Raised between Europe and the Near East, he came to see empires not as borders on maps but as rules in systems, from the grain routes of antiquity to the fibre-optic lines of today. His work blends field notes from logistics hubs and markets with a historian's ear for cause and consequence, asking what ordinary people and practical leaders can do when the world will not stay in one piece. Karaman's aim is steady: to replace fatalism with craft, and to give readers a language for thinking and acting well in a century of many centres.
