Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In The New Polar Order, Bernd Riemann provides a geopolitical examination of the systemic collapse of polar exceptionalism. As the High North transitions from a frozen rampart to a theater of active competition, the traditional geographic protections of the Northern Hemisphere are being eras…ed. This work moves beyond climate alarmism to deliver a cold-blooded analysis of the thermodynamics of sovereignty and the reconfiguration of global strategic depth.Riemann meticulously documents the transition from ice-scape to sea-scape, identifying a 4x velocity factor in Arctic amplification forcing a radical pivot in global logistics and military posture. From the NATO Lake revolution in the Baltic to the Near-Arctic ambitions of Beijing, the author maps the new coordinates of power.Key Themes and Technical Analysis Included: The Thermodynamics of Sovereignty: An investigation into the collapse of the albedo feedback loop and the Methane Clathrate Gun hypothesis. The text analyzes how meteorological destabilization and biogeochemical risks rewrite the rules of territorial integrity and state survival.Blue Water Logistics and Great Circle Disruption: An anatomy of the death of the chokepoint. The work provides a comparative cost model of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) versus the Northwest Passage (NWP), evaluating the specialized hull bottleneck and the polar risk premium against the traditional Malacca Dilemma.Institutional Paralysis: A forensic look at the breakdown of the Arctic Council between 2024 and 2026, the emergence of the great scientific blind spot, and the resulting reliance on algorithmic guesswork as shared environmental intelligence networks fracture.The Sino-Russian Axis: A deep dive into the National Transport Artery doctrine and the Rosatomflot monopoly on atomic cleavage. The analysis explores the transition from a marriage of convenience to a strategic stabilizer, underpinned by dual-use infrastructure and scientific research masks for surveillance.Asian Polar Architecture: Examination of the RELOS Pact and India's pursuit of Arctic strategic depth, alongside South Korea's role as the ice-class industrial engine. The text addresses the Asian voice in polar management and the ISA proxy battles over seabed mining.The Antarctic Stressor: A critical assessment of the 1959 Antarctic Treaty System and the 2048 horizon. It maps the geometry of claimants and the contested triangles of the South American-British overlap as major powers eye the sub-glacial resource vault.NATO's Arctic Sentry: The geopolitical enclosure of the North Atlantic and the strategic shift of JFC Norfolk. The work traces the escalation ladder and the security dilemma defining the Arctic 7's strategic mineral protection through 2050.Unlike standard geopolitical texts, Riemann integrates an analysis of sub-glacial resource vaults-including rare earth elements in Greenland and hydrocarbon endowments-with a realistic assessment of the specialized engineering premiums defining the ghost economy of the High North. The work evaluates the Just-in-Time versus Just-in-Case paradox, analyzing how sanction-proofing and strategic contingencies reshape maritime commerce.Through the analysis of the Lomonosov Ridge and extended continental shelf claims under UNCLOS III, the book clarifies the legal friction points between the Arctic Five. It highlights the paradox of the United States as a non-signatory and the sovereignty challenges faced by Canada, Denmark, and Norway along the Svalbard and Greenland axis.The New Polar Order concludes that in a system that has fundamentally shifted from its previous equilibrium, dominance is no longer achieved through territorial expansion, but through the technical Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Latin American Paradox: Great Wealth, Little Power by Bernd Riemann offers a rigorous, sophisticated analysis of the persistent developmental stagnation characterizing Latin American economies, despite their substantial natural resource endowments. This work investigates why nations rich… in minerals, hydrocarbons, and agricultural land often fail to translate commodity windfalls into long-term industrial complexity, technological innovation, or structural economic power. Riemann systematically deconstructs the mechanisms that sustain this dependency, arguing that the extractive model is not merely an economic outcome but an institutionalized governing logic designed to maintain elite power. The book examines how rent-seeking, bureaucratic atrophy, and the strategic underdevelopment of local industry restructure institutions to prioritize rent extraction over national development. Crucially, the counter-cyclical state disappears. Resource-dependent nations systematically abandon fiscal prudence during commodity booms, spending windfalls on political distribution rather than long-term stability. This pro-cyclical behavior prevents them from managing market volatility, leaving them highly vulnerable to economic downturns.The text provides a detailed exploration of technological bifurcation, identifying why advanced extraction technologies exist within enclaves that remain disconnected from the broader domestic economy. Instead of generating technological spillovers, these enclaves import innovation and externalize expertise, effectively containing progress within narrow sectors. This dynamic creates a technological hierarchy that excludes local firms from higher-value production, thereby reinforcing the region's position as a provider of raw materials rather than a creator of complex industrial value. A significant portion of the work is dedicated to the elite cartel, a stable coalition of economic and political actors whose collective interests converge around preserving the extractive order. Riemann illustrates how legislative capture, regulatory dependence, and fiscal reliance on commodity exports create an institutional environment that systematically blocks downstream industrialization. Because downstream processing requires economic complexity, which in turn requires dispersed political influence, entrenched interests actively suppress it to safeguard their concentration of power. The book further contrasts different regional trajectories, using Venezuela, Chile, and Peru as case studies to illustrate variations of the same underlying trap. Venezuela represents the endpoint of systemic collapse through absolute rentier dependency, where institutional erosion led to the near-total loss of state capacity. Chile demonstrates how even sophisticated fiscal management can stabilize dependency without overcoming it, as the country remains anchored to copper production. Peru highlights the risks of institutional fragmentation, where localized control over extractive revenues creates territorial divisions that hinder national development. Argentina is analyzed as a critical variation, showing that land-based wealth functions as a sophisticated extractive engine, where the profitability of agro-exporting reduces the urgency of industrial modernization. The final argument posits that a lack of economic diversity is a deliberate political objective, not a failure of understanding. Because economic complexity decentralizes wealth and influence, the extractive coalition maintains simplicity to secure its own dominance. This work explains why Latin American economies continue to export raw materials while importing embedded technology. It offers a definitive examination of how institutional structures protect economic privilege, and why transitioning to a complex economy remains the r Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. For over three decades, global leaders assumed globalization was the inevitable destination of modern history. Lower trade barriers, planetary supply chains, free capital, and digital networks fueled a simple, prevailing belief: the world was becoming an integrated, efficient, and indivisibl…e system.A History of Deglobalization challenges that assumption.This book argues that the hyper-globalization of the 1990s and 2000s was a brief, exceptional anomaly rather than the historical norm. As its unique conditions vanished, the global economy shifted into a new era of fragmentation, strategic competition, and industrial rivalry.Beginning with the foundations of the postwar order at Bretton Woods, the book traces the architecture that enabled international integration after 1945. It examines the Cold War's divided economic systems, the revolutionary impact of containerized shipping, the rise of multinational production networks, and the digital technologies that made global supply chains possible. From there, it follows the dramatic expansion of globalization after the collapse of the Soviet Union, exploring the triumph of the post-Cold War consensus, China's accession to the World Trade Organization, the shareholder revolution, and the unprecedented integration of markets, capital, and production.As the narrative moves into the twenty-first century, the cracks become visible. Economic nationalism returns. Sovereign wealth funds reshape investment flows. Energy shocks expose vulnerabilities. Financial crises reveal systemic fragility. Political backlash grows across advanced economies. Migration patterns change. Offshore financial networks expand. Strategic dependencies become tools of statecraft. What once appeared to be a self-reinforcing system increasingly reveals itself as a structure vulnerable to geopolitical conflict and economic disruption.The book then examines the transformative events that accelerated deglobalization: the pandemic, supply-chain breakdowns, industrial policy revival, geopolitical realignment, food and fertilizer crises, climate-linked trade restrictions, semiconductor competition, energy security concerns, sanctions regimes, and the emergence of competing technological ecosystems. These developments are presented not as isolated events, but as interconnected forces reshaping the global order.Particular attention is given to the rise of the "Electric Stack"-the strategic competition surrounding semiconductors, batteries, critical minerals, electricity infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing. Alongside this transformation, the work explores the return of state intervention, the weaponization of finance, debates over dedollarization, the resurgence of tariffs, and the growing importance of resource-rich states in an increasingly fragmented world economy.The author presents deglobalization as a lasting historical process rather than a temporary disruption. Through detailed analysis, it explains why governments, corporations, and citizens now balance efficiency against resilience, security, sovereignty, and strategic autonomy.The book concludes by exploring two possible futures: a world of managed divergence, in which competing blocs coexist within a modified international system, and a world of cascading fragmentation, where trust, trade, and institutional cooperation continue to erode. Both scenarios raise fundamental questions about growth, stability, technology, and power in the decades ahead.This highly accessible, deeply researched book connects 80 years of major economic and geopolitical developments into a single coherent narrative. It is essential reading for understanding the future of capitalism, globalization, and the evolving competition between the US and China.The age of globaliza Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. India is poised to become the world's third-largest economy. It has the largest population on Earth, one of the youngest workforces among major nations, a rapidly expanding technological ecosystem, and growing geopolitical influence across the Indo-Pacific. To many observers, the arrival of…an "Indian Century" appears inevitable.The Indian Century? is a rigorous examination of the structural realities that will determine India's future. Moving beyond headlines, political rhetoric, and market optimism, it asks a far more consequential question: can India convert its immense potential into lasting national power?Drawing on economic data, infrastructure trends, demographic analysis, energy policy, financial systems, labor markets, and state capacity, this work investigates the foundations upon which every successful great power has been built. It explores why manufacturing remains the decisive engine of mass prosperity, why reliable electricity may be more important than technological breakthroughs, why logistics networks shape national competitiveness, and why human capital ultimately determines whether demographic advantage becomes an asset or a liability.The book examines the critical challenges standing between India and developed-nation status. It analyzes the country's persistent manufacturing gap, the weaknesses of its corporate bond markets, the unfinished modernization of its energy grid, regional economic imbalances, labor-force participation constraints, and the immense educational reforms required to transform population size into productivity.At the same time, it highlights the opportunities available to India on a scale unmatched by almost any nation in modern history. From digital public infrastructure and renewable energy expansion to industrial policy, logistics integration, and technological self-sufficiency, the foundations of a historic transformation are already being laid.Yet history offers no guarantees. India stands at a pivotal moment in its development. Over the next three decades, it will attempt something few nations have ever achieved: the transformation of a vast, diverse, developing society into a fully industrialized great power. The outcome is far from certain.By the middle of the twenty-first century, India is likely to arrive at one of three destinations. It may complete its economic transformation and emerge as a sovereign industrial, technological, and geopolitical power at the center of the global order. It may continue to grow yet remain trapped below its potential-a prosperous but uneven middle-income economy unable to convert scale into lasting influence. Or it may find its rise constrained by the accumulated weight of unresolved structural weaknesses, from energy and infrastructure deficits to demographic and institutional pressures.Which future emerges will not be determined by optimism, ambition, or historical destiny. It will be determined by whether India can solve the fundamental challenges that every great power must eventually confront: how to educate its people, finance its development, power its industries, integrate its markets, and build institutions capable of executing at continental scale.Written in the style of a strategic briefing rather than a political manifesto, The Indian Century? combines empirical evidence, historical comparison, and systems-level analysis to provide a comprehensive assessment of India's long-term trajectory. For policymakers, investors, business leaders, students of economic development, and anyone seeking to understand one of the most important questions of the twenty-first century, this book offers a clear framework for evaluating both India's promise and its constraints.The Indian Century is possible. Whether it becomes reality remains one of the defining quest Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
