The Age of Unpeace

In this thought-provoking audiobook, Mark Leonard examines the unintended consequences of global integration, suggesting that efforts to connect the world have instead fueled divisions and conflicts. He explores the escalating tensions—from social media disputes to geopolitical rivalries, particularly between the US and China—demonstrating how the landscape of warfare has shifted towards sanctions, cyber warfare, and migration crises. Drawing on his extensive experience in international relations, Leonard offers insights into the disillusionment of globalization and contemplates pathways toward a more hopeful future amidst rising instability.
