:
A powerful analysis of the future of global politics from one of The Economist”s most experienced foreign correspondentsNow more than ever, might is right – or so today”s strongman leaders would have us believe. In this era of conflict and souring alliances, how will the world”s nations co-exist and survive?From military might to soft power and from empires to rogue states, The World in Turmoil takes the long view of factors that influence modern politics, untangling the complex threads that both bind us and threaten to tear us apart.Complete with a jargon-busting A-Z of key terms, it offers a clear-sighted analysis of the trends governing global politics – and why we ignore them at our peril.

When it comes to serious journalism – and I mean serious, but decidedly not solemn – few know the world as well as John Andrews, who has navigated the planet”s flashpoints with aplomb, energy and literary elegance for decades. The World in Turmoil provides the capstone to a long and distinguished career and could hardly be published at a more appropriate moment. It makes for essential reading
