In this New York Times bestseller, updated for 2016, an award-winning journalist uses ten maps of crucial regions to explain the geo-political strategies of the world powers?“fans of geography, history, and politics (and maps) will be enthralled” (Fort Worth Star-Telegram).

Maps have a mysterious hold over us. Whether ancient, crumbling parchments or generated by Google, maps tell us things we want to know, not only about our current location or where we are going but about the world in general. And yet, when it comes to geo-politics, much of what we are told is generated by analysts and other experts who have neglected to refer to a map of the place in question.

All leaders of nations are constrained by geography. In “one of the best books about geopolitics” (The Evening Standard), now updated to include 2016 geopolitical developments, journalist Tim Marshall examines Russia, China, the US, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Japan, Korea, and Greenland and the Arctic-their weather, seas, mountains, rivers, deserts, and borders-to provide a context often missing from our political reportage: how the physical characteristics of these countries affect their strengths and vulnerabilities and the decisions made by their leaders.

Offering “a fresh way of looking at maps” (The New York Times Book Review), Marshall explains the complex geo-political strategies that shape the globe. Why is Putin so obsessed with Crimea? Why was the US destined to become a global superpower? Why does China’s power base continue to expand? Why is Tibet destined to lose its autonomy? Why will Europe never be united? The answers are geographical. “In an ever more complex, chaotic, and interlinked world, Prisoners of Geography is a concise and useful primer on geopolitics” (Newsweek) and a critical guide to one of the major determining factors in world affairs.

세계는 왜 ‘지리’를 두고 분쟁하는가?

지리라는 렌즈를 통해 세계를 조망한 책 『지리의 힘』. 25년 이상 30개 이상의 분쟁 지역을 직접 현장에서 취재하며 국제 문제 전문 저널리스트로 활동해온 저자가 중국, 미국, 서유럽, 러시아, 한국과 일본, 아프리카, 라틴 아메리카, 중동, 인도와 파키스탄, 북극 등 전 세계를 10개의 지역으로 나눠 ‘지리의 힘’이 21세기 현대사에 미치는 영향을 집중적으로 파헤친 책이다.

이 책은 특히 ‘한국’편에서 한국의 위치와 한반도의 지리적 특성 때문에 한국이 강대국들의 경유지 역할을 할 수밖에 없음을 지적하고 ‘중국’은 왜 영유권 분쟁을 일으키면서까지 바다에 집착하는지, ‘미국’은 어째서 초대강국이 될 수밖에 없었는지, 왜 세계는 남극이 아닌 북극으로 향하고 있는지 등에 대한 해답을 담고 있다. 또한 최근 이슈로 떠오르고 있는 미국과 중국 간의 신패권주의 경쟁, 알카에다와는 달리 영토를 장악해가는 IS 등을 놓치지 않고 함께 다루고 있다.
