Eurasia v. NATOstan

Beschreibung

In Eurasia vs. NATOstan, Pepe Escobar takes us on a whirlwind journey through the swirling sands of the 21st century's defining clash. From the ancient Silk Roads to the modern-day War of Economic Corridors, Escobar paints a vivid picture of a world in transition, where the old order is crumbling and a new, multipolar reality is struggling to be born. With his nonpareil blend of historical insight, deep cultural appreciation, and sharp geopolitical analysis, Escobar exposes the West's "rules-based international order" for the sham it is, a mere smokescreen for the Empire of Chaos to perpetuate its forever wars and plunder the Global South. But the tide is turning. Led by the Russia-China strategic partnership, a new Global Majority is rising, forging new alliances and building alternative systems that bypass the West's rigged game. Eurasia vs. NATOstan is not just a chronicle of our turbulent times; it is a call to action. Escobar challenges us to shed the blinkers of Western exceptionalism and embrace the possibilities of a truly multipolar world, where cooperation, mutual respect, and a shared future for all replace the toxicities of war, division, and neocolonialism. Includes Index of Persons; Timeline of the Rise of a New World Order; and a glossary of selected Escobarisms. Seventh volume in Escobar's Chronicles of Liquid War, which also includes: Globalistan: How the Globalized World is Dissolving into Liquid War (2007) (ISBN: 978-0-9788138-2-0) Red Zone Blues: A Snapshot of Baghdad during the Surge (2007) (ISBN: 978-0-9788138-9-5) Obama Does Globalistan (2009) (ISBN: 978-1-934840-83-2) Empire of Chaos (2014) (ISBN: 978-1-60888-231-1) 2030 (2015) (ISBN: 978-1-60888-035-5) Raging Twenties: Great Power Politics Meets Techno-Feudalism in the Era of COVID-19 (2021) (ISBN: 978-1-60888-220-5) The Chronicles of Liquid War offer a unique and critical perspective on the changing nature of conflict in the 21st century, moving beyond simplistic narratives and exploring the complex interplay of geopolitics, economics, and technology with complete disregard for conventional Western and mainstream media narratives.

Autor

Pepe Escobar is a journalist, independent geopolitical analyst and author. Born in Brazil, he started in the daily newspaper business in 1982 as a music, cinema, literature and cultural critic and became a foreign correspondent in 1985, first in London and then Milan, Los Angeles and Paris. In 1994 he decided to move from the West to Asia, first to Singapore and then Bangkok and Hong Kong. He has been living between Europe and Asia ever since-with bases alternating between London/Paris and Bangkok/Hong Kong, as well as stints in Washington and New York. He has covered virtually everything important that happened across Asia in the past 25 years, including the geopolitics and geoeconomics of Southeast Asia, China, Russia, and progressively, the arc from Afghanistan/Pakistan to Central Asia, Iran, Iraq, Turkey and the Persian Gulf. Switching from the "Asian miracle" to the "war on terror", after 9/11 he covered the wars on Afghanistan and Iraq (before, during and after), energy wars and, in the Obama years, the American "pivot" to Asia. For the past few years, his focus is the Chinese-driven New Silk Roads, all aspects of Eurasia integration, and the geopolitical clash between the US and the Russia/China strategic partnership. He has written columns and Op-Eds for dozens of online publications-including Al Jazeera, RT and Sputnik-and has been a frequent guest of TV and radio shows from North America to Asia. His articles/columns are regularly translated in several languages. He currently lives between Paris and Bangkok.
