Some say we're on the brink of a world war, or even in the midst of a global conflict already Mass massacres in East Africa, heightened economic and technological rivalry between China and the United States, wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, increased military budgets, tensions around Taiwan and Iran's nuclear capabilities, cyberattacks on infrastructures and information relays... the geopolitical climate is indeed toxic and worrisome. And yet the apocalyptic stance makes no sense. With this clear and incisive essay, Fr d ric Encel, a renowned and experienced geopolitical scientist, offers a counterpoint to the prophets of doom, pointing to seven objective realities that invalidate certainties of the worst and dispatching theories such as the "clash of civilizations" and "Thucydides's trap." Enhanced with a wealth of maps and a pedagogical structure, this new book is both a formidable panorama of our geopolitical realities and a valuable tool for understanding our troubled times. Selon certains, nous serions l'aube d'une guerre mondiale, voire d j en plein conflit plan taire Massacres de masse l'est de l'Afrique, rivalit conomique et technologique exacerb e entre la Chine et les tats-Unis, guerres en Ukraine et au Proche-Orient, augmentation des budgets militaires, tensions autour de Ta wan et du nucl aire iranien, cyberattaques contre des infrastructures et les relais d'information... le climat g opolitique est en effet d l t re et inqui tant. Pour autant, la posture apocalyptique n'a pas de sens. Avec cet essai clair et incisif, Fr d ric Encel, g opolitologue reconnu et chevronn , prend le contre-pied des proph tes de malheur, pointe sept r alit s objectives qui invalident la certitude du pire et fait un sort aux th ories de type choc des civilisations et autre pi ge de Thucydide . Fort d'une cartographie abondante et d'une structure p dagogique, ce nouveau livre est la fois un formidable panorama de nos r alit s g opolitiques et un pr cieux outil de compr hension des temps troubl s qui sont les n tres.
