Disunited Nations: The Scramble for Power in an Ungoverned World

Peter Zeihan

The author, a noted geopolitical strategist, makes a convincing case that the world has reached a tipping point. The emergence of the world’s first ‘Global Order’ began with the conclusion of the second World War, as the U.S. offered total protection and economic growth for any nation willing to join its fight against the Communist Soviet Union. The fall of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s brought with it the end of this Order and, in its place, an underwhelming foreign policy that had the U.S. bouncing from crisis to crisis while either abusing, ignoring, or insulting its Allies. Countries around the world, including the U.S. and the United Kingdom, have shifted their focus inward as competition takes the place of cooperation. After presenting his thesis, the author then outlines the strengths and weaknesses of the leading nations around the world and we learn why France will become the most powerful country in Europe, Saudi Arabia will be a larger threat than Iran, and China is more likely to collapse than North Korea. Certainly a provocative book, but also an enjoyable read and an excellent resource for international investors.
