The Empires Strike Back 

Synopsis

Russia, China, India, Iran, and Turkey – these five historic Empires are reclaiming a central position on the global geopolitical chessboard. 

At the same time, Trump’s United States abandons the world order it once built, asserting power alone and reviving its own imperial ambitions.

After a period of decline, the age of empires is back. How did this reversal come about? How far will their hegemonic ambitions go — and who will they turn against first?

The Empires Strike Back offers essential insight into the fragility of the global balance and today’s pressing geopolitical challenges.
