Synopsis
Explore how geography and power shape Asia—and why it matters for world policies. This study examines the big, lasting factors at work in Asia and the way they influence international relations today. It combines early 20th‑century analysis with practical insights on strategy, growth, and the balance of land and sea power.
This edition gathers two advanced papers on Asia’s permanent features and their impact on global policy, plus a later section clarifying arguments around the Transvaal dispute. Written by A. T. Mahan, a renowned naval historian, the book links geography, communications, and national interests to long‑term strategic thinking.

- Clear explanations of Asia’s major geographical and political features
- Discussion of how sea power and land power interact in shaping policy
- Insights into how different civilizations might approach coexistence and progress
- Context for understanding the forces behind modern international relations

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the long-standing rivalry between Russia and Great Britain over control of Asia from the mid-19th century onwards. The author traces the evolution of the conflict to speculate and extrapolate future conflicts and alliances that may arise due to the control of key Asian territories. The ongoing struggle is examined alongside the internal and external factors that influence decisive action by either side, including public opinion, resources, political climate, and global economic factors. In examining the future of Asia, the author reminds readers of the importance of mutual respect, diplomacy, and compromise in reaching fair solutions to complex international issues, with the aim of assuring a future where political alliances between nations strengthen each other, rather than pitting them against each other.
