Disunited Nations
Book • 2020
In 'Disunited Nations', Peter Zeihan presents counterintuitive arguments about the future of a world where the American-dominated order is ending.
He predicts significant shifts in global power dynamics, with countries like France, Turkey, Japan, and Saudi Arabia rising in importance while others like China, Russia, Germany, and Iran decline.
Zeihan argues that the collapse of international cooperation will lead to a new era of competing powers and economic systems, and that countries and businesses must adapt to this new 'every-country-for-itself' ethic to survive and thrive.
The book emphasizes the roles of geography and demography in shaping the future of nations and global order.
