Contents Notes
Which lines on the map matter most? Imagine a map of the world in your mind. Now erase all the borderlines. Now replace those borderlines with new lines connecting regions. Those new lines represent motorways, bridges, tunnels, railways, oil pipes, supply chains and electricity grids - in a word, connectivity. In Connectography, Parag Khanna argues that a global network civilization is emerging, based around increasing connectivity between nations, cities, companies and people that political states as represented on a traditional world map are becoming redundant. He travels from Ukraine to Iran, Mongolia to North Korea, London to Dubai and the Arctic Circle to the South China Sea - all to show how twenty-first-century conflict is a tug-of-war over pipelines and internet cables, advanced technologies and market access. A world in which the most connected powers, and people, will win.
