Críticas
"Provocative reading for students of geopolitical and economic trends looking for a glimpse at the new world to come."
-Kirkus International Praise for The New Silk Roads:
"Masterly mapping out of a new world order... Peter Frankopan has gone up in the world since his bestselling Silk Roads history was published to great acclaim in 2015--and deservedly so."
-Justin Marozzi, Evening Standard "Frankopan has written another valuable and idiosyncratic book. He has the gift of perspective-- the capacity to see the wood for the trees--which he combines with a Tolstoyan knack for weaving little details into the broader sweep of human affairs."
-Jamie Susskind, The Daily Telegraph "Frankopan is a brilliant guide to terra incognita."
-Niall Ferguson, Sunday Times "A pacy, bang-up-to-date exploration of how China's commercial and political heft is changing the way the world works."
-James Kynge, Financial Times "Frankopan has written as prescient a modern history as possible ... [His] skill is that he able to step back a few more paces from the world map and global events than most modern commentators, whilst encouraging us to use history as a way of looking forward than regressing into the past."
-Joseph Wilkins, Total Politics "A compelling, accessible account of the shift in global economic power... For anyone with an interest in global politics."
-Nicole Abedee, Financial Review
"If you are only going to read one non-fiction book in the coming year, let it be The New Silk Roads by Dr. Frankopan... This book has all the answers and some more."
-Qudsia Sajjad, News on Sunday "[D]iverting, eclectic and has serious intent. Its thesis that Eurasia is developing a sense of cohesion, largely powered by China's restless ambition, is a sound one."
-Roger Boyes, The Times "Entertaining. . . . Peter Frankopan has a sharp eye for startling facts, and no reader will leave The New Silk Roads with her sense of the state of the world unchanged"
--Richard Drayton, Times Literary Supplement
"A state of the world address... Energetic...pin-sharp, up-to-date."

Nota de la solapa
'All roads used to lead to Rome. Today, they lead to Beijing.' When The Silk Roads was published in 2015, it became an instant classic. A major reassessment of world history, it compelled us to look at the past from a different perspective. The New Silk Roads brings this story up to date, addressing the present and future of a world that is changing dramatically. Following the Silk Roads eastwards, from Europe through to China, by way of Russia and the Middle East, The New Silk Roads provides a timely reminder that we live in a world that is profoundly interconnected. In an age of Brexit and Trump, the themes of isolation and fragmentation permeating the Western world stand in sharp contrast to events along the Silk Roads since 2015, where ties have been strengthened and mutual cooperation established. With brilliant insight, Peter Frankopan takes a fresh look at the network of relationships being formed along the length and breadth of the Silk Roads today, assessing the global reverberations of these continual shifts in the centre of power - all too often absent from headlines in the West. This important - and ultimately hopeful - book asks us to re-read who we are and where we are in the world, illuminating the themes on which all our lives and livelihood depend.

For those who think that Human History goes from the Greek, through the Romans to the European Renaissance, the maritime discoveries and the industrial revolution, they missed a fundamental bloc of our common road: the world where everything happened before Europe mean anything. It was in the East where Human societies reached global power and intelectual sofistication.

The penalties of isolationism and the power of globalism
Revisado en Reino Unido el 10 de diciembre de 2018Compra verificada
We are living in the Asian century already, at a time when the movement of global economic, and therefore military, activity is moving from the west to the east at an astonishing speed.
Peter Frankopan sees, all across Asia, a strong sense of states trying to work together and to elide their interests while putting differences behind them. Chief among these is the ‘Belt and Road Initiative’, President Xi of China‘s signature economic and foreign policy, which uses the ancient Silk Roads – and their success – as a matrix for Chinese long term planning. Since the project was announced in 2013, nearly $1 trillion has been promised for infrastructure investments, mainly in the form of loans, to around 1,000 projects.
Peter Frankopan describes in some detail the Roads to the East, being Russia, Pakistan, India and the Middle East; the Road to the Heart of the world including Iran, Kazakstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan , Afghanistan, Georgia and Turkey.
One reason for the optimism across the heart of Asia is the immense natural resources of the area. The Middle East, Russia and Central Asia account for 70% of proven oil resources, 65% of natural gas resources, 75% of silicon, 85% of rare earths like yttrium, dysprosium, and terbium, which are essential for super-magnets, batteries, actuators and laptops, and 80% of world heroin production.
But Frankopan maintains the Initiative is not just driven by raw materials. As opposed to Trump’s inconsistent and adversarial behaviour, he maintains that President Xi’s international relations are based on win-win cooperation. He is moving to fill a vacuum left by the US and Europe’s isolationist and self- indulgent politics and to provide Chinese leadership that emphasises the benefits of mutual cooperation.
The Initiative is by no means plain sailing. The rivalry with the US and the imposition of sweeping tariffs by Trump is examined, military disputes in the South China Seas, the conflict between India and Pakistan and the risks of indebtedness and non payment of loans are all discussed.
Peter Frankopan contrasts the collaborative approach of the Chinese with the arbitrary, isolationist and short term nature of Trump’s foreign policies. And quotes numerous examples of the contradictions of US strategy. For instance, Saudi Arabia has become the pillar of US policy in the Middle East. One reason is its oil wealth but another is the prodigious amount of money it spends on US weapons. But Russia is active in wooing Saudi Arabia, including fighting alongside it in Syria. With the US’s Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, US arms sales are prohibited to any nation that buys Russian weapons. This means that if Saudi Arabia, Turkey and others can be persuaded by Moscow to switch allegiances, then they fall decisively out of Washington’s orbit.
Compared to the Silk Roads and Asia, Europe is not so much moving at a different speed as in a different direction. Where the story of Asia is about increasing connections, improving collaboration and deepening cooperation, in Europe the story is about separation, the re-erection of barriers and ‘taking back control.’ Brexit provides good example of this, but so do rising anti-EU movements in Italy, Germany, Poland, Hungary and elsewhere – and support by hundreds of thousands of people for independence in Scotland and Catalonia.
Frankopan quotes King Zhao who ruled China nearly 2,500 years ago and declared ‘a talent for following the ways of yesterday is not sufficient to improve the world of today.’ Understanding what is driving change is the first step in being able to prepare and adapt to it. The fact is that the Silk Roads are rising. How they develop, evolve and change will shape the world of the future.
Hard to argue. Certainly a sobering and topical book.

That's why the West is where it is.
Revisado en Reino Unido el 11 de febrero de 2020Compra verificada
Typical western main-stream approach:
1) Refuse to touch the actual reasons behind events. The book mentions that Syria and Iraq are in chaos, as if this simply came to be. Whose fault is that? Everybody knows, yet being written by a Westerner, the author refuses to even remotely say anything about it. At least in my opinion, the prospects of countries wanting to co-operate with China and not wanting to co-operate with the West, i would have naively thought that whether or not they have been invaded and destroyed by the US-of-A will most probably play a role in their decisions. None of the catastrophic consequences of Western foreign policy are seriously discussed.
2) Refuse to touch the actual reasons which underline the decline of the West, which are: DE-industrialization, exploitation of the labor via "flexible" working and zero-hour contracts which have destroyed the purchasing power of millions of citizens of the western countries, at the moment when many more millions of workers see their income soar in the East,
3) Witch-hunting about Russia and "election-meddling" at every opportunity, at the moment when even the very same US Congress reached the conclusion that there was no "collusion" or any involvement of Russia whatsoever (Although to be fair , the book was written in 2018 and those findings were not out yet. But then again, neither was the "meddling" ever proved, so why does the book take the liberty to present it as actual fact?).
4) Reference of the-death-of-500,000-iraqi-children-was-worth-it, Madeleine Albright in expressing opinion about democracy (page 43).
5) The author clearly is not comfortable with concepts like the will of the majority, since we see in inverse quotations ('the will of the people') references to the Democratic election of the British people to exit the EU. In a similar vein, not even Western-planted elections observers had anything to comment regarding the elections processes in Russia. Yet the "author" calls president Putin 'dictatorial'. Do I need to ask whether the "author" has even visited Russia, or whether has he ever talked with the Russian people itself to hear how the 'dictatorial president' has led Russia to the most prosperous era in the entire history of the country (What Putin calls: "Historical justice")?
6) Labeling Venezuela a 'failed state' as if the "author" is oblivious to the war america has raged on the country, since President Chavez nationalized the country's oil resources and took them away from Private american oil corporations.
This is clearly a book written by a mainstream westerner: a neo-liberal westerner of the the typical, irresponsible type.

fine addendum to 'Silk Roads'
Revisado en Reino Unido el 27 de enero de 2019Compra verificada
This is a fascinating review of the rise of influence of China, which does not spare a damning look at the counterproductive, ill informed and dangerous policies of the current White House. The enormous capital investments being financed around the world by China are driving trade but also creating staggering levels of national debt in countries which can ill afford the repayments. However, increasingly Russia and China are the 'go to' countries for support for former allies of the US who have been vilified by the current administration. Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, and even India are increasingly looking to China, and to Russia, as the US pursues its policies of America First - described in these pages as being 'We are America, bitch'
The development of AI and robotics in Russia and China, with their enormous potential military applications, place the world at a point of great uncertainty. This all makes for sobering reading. We must hope China uses its new position of emerging world leadership wisely to preserve the peace and to live up to the fine words of its leadership.
Beautifully written, erudite and engaging, this is an excellent addendum to the fine 'Silk Roads' by the same author

Wake up call!
Revisado en Reino Unido el 9 de diciembre de 2018Compra verificada
Peter Frankopan wrote The Silk Roads and this is like an update of where his original book finished and my what a wake up call it is with the speed of change in the rising East. The West has blown it from being completely unable to respond to the changing circumstances of the world happening under our noses - sadly our politicians have been so obsessed with maintaining the status of our much vaunted Liberal Democracy that they have contributed to us being blindsided completely by the astonishing rise of China, the Tiger Economies and India that we have no coherent response to anything that is happening at the moment! Definitely worth a read!

Peter is an excellent writer. His previous book on the Silk Roads was brilliant and this does not disappoint. In our turbulent times this book will demonstrate how wildly out of touch are so many who are supposed to be leading the world. The geopolitical shift from the West to Asia is so well illustrated, the world has changed throughout history and it will continue to do so. As technology advances across the world at an astonishing pace, there needs to be significant change in attitudes to emerging nations. This book is thought provoking and, in some ways, disturbing. I note some comments about the proofreading but these are somewhat pedantic when the real message of this book is so clear.
