A Eurasian transformation is underway, and it flows from China.
With a geopolitically central location, the country's domestic and
international policies are poised to change the face of global
affairs. The Belt and Road Initiative has called attention to a
deepening Eurasian continentalism that has, argues Kent Calder,
much more significant implications than have yet been recognized.
In Super Continent, Calder presents a theoretically guided and
empirically grounded explanation for these changes. He shows that
key inflection points, beginning with the Four Modernizations and
the collapse of the Soviet Union; and culminating in China's
response to the Global Financial Crisis and Crimea's annexation,
are triggering tectonic shifts. Furthermore, understanding China's
emerging regional and global roles involves comprehending two
ongoing transformations-within China and across Eurasia as a
whole-and that the two are profoundly interrelated. Calder
underlines that the geo-economic logic that prevailed across
Eurasia before Columbus, and that made the Silk Road a central
thoroughfare of world affairs for close to two millennia, is
reasserting itself once again.
