Hotspots of geopolitics and the future of the world

The author of this book, George Friedman, is an American political scientist, director of the private intelligence and analytical organization 'Stratfor', and an expert in geopolitics. "Border areas are places of cultural mixing, but they can also be places where wars originate. These are 'hot spots'," he writes in his book. "Today, the borderlands to the west of Russia have become such 'hot spots'. The fire has already started, but the global conflagration has not yet ignited." Where are the other potential 'flashpoints', what awaits the world in the future, will there be a new world war? G. Friedman conducts a detailed analysis of the past and present of Eurasia to answer these questions.
