The Return of Marco Polo's World by Robert D. Kaplan Summary
Overview of The Return of Marco Polo's World
Kaplan's geopolitical masterpiece reveals how China's new Silk Road ambitions echo Marco Polo's world. Praised by General Petraeus as "a classic," these essays challenge Western assumptions about power. What if Kaplan's "depressingly accurate" predictions reshape your understanding of tomorrow's global order?

When Ancient Trade Routes Become Modern Battlegrounds
Stand at the edge of the Bosphorus Strait and you can almost see history repeating itself. On one side, Europe fragments under the weight of migration and debt. On the other, Asia surges with ambition and capital. This narrow waterway, which once channeled the wealth of the Silk Road, now watches Chinese container ships and Russian warships pass through daily-a living reminder that geography never stopped mattering. We convinced ourselves that smartphones and stock exchanges had made borders obsolete, that globalization would flatten the world into a peaceful, interconnected whole. Instead, technology has done something far more unsettling: it's resurrected the world Marco Polo knew seven centuries ago, where vast Eurasian empires competed for influence across interconnected trade networks, except now they're armed with cyber weapons and hypersonic missiles.
