Más información sobre el libro

This book introduces a comprehensive framework for 21st-century statecraft, termed neo-statecraft, which reconciles power, interests, and justice. It outlines four key components: 1) meta-geopolitics, a new structure encompassing seven interconnected dimensions of state power and identifying a Geostrategic Tripwire Pivotal Corridor (TPC); 2) a sustainable national security paradigm emphasizing justice, symbiotic realism, and transcultural synergy; 3) the concept of just power, asserting that power must be both smart and just, with global justice as a national interest for all states; and 4) reconciliation statecraft addressing eight global interests. Dr. Nayef R. F. Al-Rodhan, a Senior Scholar in Geostrategy at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy, presents a refreshing re-examination of statecraft and geopolitics, offering concepts that can inspire new research and policy initiatives. His work builds on previous ideas to update traditional geopolitical views, contributing significantly to strategic thinking and diplomacy. The book meticulously describes the transformation of the international system and the challenges it poses for contemporary statecraft, utilizing analytical tools to address potential future issues. This intellectually courageous endeavor provides deeper insights into current and future security challenges.
