Globalistan weaves three parallel and intersecting themes:
globalization, energy wars and the Long War. It shows how
globalization is not proceeding according to the myth of "everyone
profits": instead, it is fragmenting the world into even more
explosive inequality, into "stans" - some stans configured as
fortresses, some stans at war with others. Energy wars, and the
multiple intersections of globalization and war, only increase the
polarization. Globalistan argues that the world is being dissolved
into Liquid War - a natural consequence of "liquid modernity," a
concept formulated by Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman. The book
is 80% based on reportage - from China to Central Asia and Russia;
before, during and after the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; in Iran
and in the Middle East; in Western Europe, Western Africa and South
America. It is also an Atlas - with maps - of the world in
conflict.
