Is the influence of the West always equally dominant? How are emerging powers such as China, India, or Brazil establishing themselves? What challenges do raw materials represent in the context of international relations?
The events on the international stage have increasingly significant consequences on our daily lives. However, sometimes it is difficult to understand them. In the "noisy" and continuous flow of information, it is not always easy to distinguish the important from the trivial and to form a comprehensive view that will help us know the "keys" to the globalized planet and understand its challenges.

In this work, Pascal Boniface outlines our complex, ever-changing world with undeniable pedagogical clarity. Combining historical depth with the decryption of current events, he illuminates the multiple motivations of peoples, states, and protagonists on the global stage.
This new edition includes 100 updated, comprehensible, and aesthetically pleasing maps, which give readers the ability to piece together the significant phenomena of international relations.
