Abstract: The war in Ukraine and the rise of China’s influence are reshaping geopolitics. Our world is changing and we are trying to understand these phenomena with the aid of a variety of lenses. One approach puts an emphasis on the role of geography and its influence on policy and decision-making. Tim Marshall attempted to explain and teach about our world through his two well-known books: Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Tell You Everything You Need To Know About Global Politics and The Power of Geography: Ten Maps that Reveal the Future of Our World.
