World Geopolitics, from 1945 to the Present Day

In an era of globalisation, can we understand the contemporary world without knowing the chain of events that shaped it, the logic of rivalries, the clashes between powers?

The rise of the bipolar world and then its disappearance, decolonisation, the challenge of nuclear weapons, the globalisation of the economy, the emergence of new powers: none of these aspects stands alone, they take place within one great interconnected history played out by extraordinary actors, from Roosevelt to Trump by way of de Gaulle, Mao, Castro, Mandela and Putin.

The geopolitical analyst Pascal Boniface, known for his clarity as a teacher, decodes the main workings of the great historical events since 1945 and their present-day consequences.
