Geopolitics in Late Antiquity explores the geopolitical revolution
which shook the foundations of the ancient world, the dawning of
the millennium of Inner Asian dominance and virtual monopoly of
world power (with interludes) that began with the rise of the Huns
and then continued under the hegemony of various other steppe
peoples. Kim examines first the geopolitical situation created by
the rise of Inner Asian powers, and then the reactions of the great
empires of Eurasia to this geopolitical challenge. A unique feature
of this book is its in-depth analysis of the geostrategies (some
successful, others misguided) adopted by China, Rome and Persia to
cope with the growing Inner Asian threat. The conclusions and
insights drawn from this analysis are then used to inform modern
geopolitics, mainly the contest for hegemonic power between the
United States and China. Geopolitics in Late Antiquity is a crucial
resource for both academic and learned general readership, who have
an interest in the fate of antiquity's superpowers and also for
those engaged in current international relations policy-making, who
wish to learn from historical precedents.
