Sommario/riassunto

This book argues that the 21st century will witness a fundamental global shift in economic and military hegemonic power from the U.S.-European sphere to the U.S.-Asia-Pacific region. Geography,



hegemony, and politics will represent the foundational pillars for change, progress, and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region.
