It opens with an unconventional view of the Arab Spring, identifying its origins in the relative US withdrawal from the Middle East caused by both the need for military disengagement for economic reasons and the discovery of shale gas and tight oil in the heart of the North American continent. The rise in the geostrategic importance of Putin?s Russia is explored in this context. The implications of the worldwide economic crisis are analyzed in depth: the author?s interpretation is that the world is entering a phase of unstable growth generated by hyperfinancialization and deflation. Against this background, the book explores the US attempt to trigger growth through the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, the impact of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (based on the US-Australia military alliance) in restraining China?s advance, and the potential for Africa to become the driver of the world?s economic future if it can resist Chinese penetration and continue the nation-building process. 606 $aEconomics 606 $aPolitical economy 606 $aInternational economics 606 $aEconomic geography 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy and state 606 $aPopular Science in Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q34000 606 $aInternational Political Economy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140 606 $aInternational Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33000 606 $aEconomic Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/112000 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aPolitical economy. 615 0$aInternational economics. 615 0$aEconomic geography. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aEnergy and state. 615 14$aPopular Science in Economics. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy. 615 24$aInternational Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Geography. 615 24$aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management. 676 $a330 676 $a330.9 676 $a333.79 676 $a337 676 $a338926 676 $a339.5 700 $aSapelli$b Giulio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0116236 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298507703321 996 $aGlobal Challenges and the Emerging World Order$92510017 997 $aUNINA
