Heartlands of Eurasia: The Geopolitics of Political Space

Srce Euroazije: Geopolitika političkog prostora

Heartlands of Eurasia: The Geopolitics of Political Space

by Anita Sengupta

The book investigates how the gained metageographic knowledge influences the understanding of global processes and subsequently transforms into geopolitical thinking with foreign policy implications. The book provides a detailed overview of the writings, both from and outside the "Heartlands" region, which consider the importance of the legacy of Halford Mackinder in the context of significantly changed world situations. In particular, the book seeks to examine how policy creators and strategic thinkers have used these geopolitical concepts as justification for their policy in the region and tries to analyze to what extent this political thinking has been transformed into practice.

The Silk Roads: A New History of the World

by Peter Frankopan

Peter Frankopan, a brilliant and fearlessly wide-ranging young Oxford historian marches briskly through the centuries, disguising his erudition with an enviable lightness of touch, enlivening his narrative with a beautifully constructed web of anecdotes and insights, backed up by an impressively wide-ranging scholarly apparatus of footnotes drawing on works in multiple languages... This is history on a grand scale, with a sweep and ambition that is rare… A remarkable book on many levels, a proper historical epic of dazzling range and achievement.

The Hour of Europe: Western Powers and the Breakup of Yugoslavia

Vrijeme Europe: Zapadne sile i raspad Jugoslavije

The Hour of Europe: Western Powers and the Breakup of Yugoslavia

by Josip Glaurdić

Observing through the prism of Western politics towards the breakup of Yugoslavia, this book presents a new view of the end of the Cold War in Europe. Including in the analysis the declassified CIA reports, documents from the administration of George H.W. Bush and the British Foreign Office, evidentiary material used in the processes at the Hague Tribunal, as well as more than forty interviews with former diplomats and politicians from the West and from the former Yugoslavia, book shows that the Realpolitik of the Western powers failed in their intention to support the survival of Yugoslavia, but instead encouraged the JNA and the regime of Slobodan Milošević to violence. Hour of Europe also sheds light on the dramatic conflict of opinion within the Western alliance on possible responses to the Yugoslav crisis. Book identifies the roots of this conflict in the different preferences of the Western powers regarding the role of a united Germany, Eastern Europe, and foreign and security policy in the future of European integration.
