Professor Geoffrey Gresh discusses the strategic maritime shifts under way from Europe to the Indian Ocean and Pacific Asia and the race for great power status as the earth’s changing landscape is rapidly transforming Eurasia and thus creating a new world order. Topics included Mackinder, Spykman, and Mahan, and cover terrain and sea from Morocco and the Strait of Gibraltar to Djibouti's Bab el-Mandeb Strait to China's "String of Pearls" ports (e.g. Gwandar, Pakistan), merits of the "Thucydides Trap" argument, the "Asian Century", and the importance of the underwater submarine cables that countries use to connect themselves to the internet.
