Produktbeschreibung
The twenty-first century will not be defined by oil, territory, or ideology-it will be defined by the struggle for water. From rivers that cross hostile borders to melting glaciers that once sustained empires, the world is entering a precarious age where water scarcity geopolitics determines the survival of nations, the stability of cities, and the security of billions. This book reveals how the hidden battle for the planet's most vital resource is already reshaping the global order. Drawing on history, science, and diplomacy, it shows why the global water crisis is more than an environmental issue-it is the new frontline of power. Case studies from the Nile, Indus, and Colorado rivers expose how transboundary rivers conflict can trigger war or force cooperation. Stories of collapsing aquifers, vanishing glaciers, and crumbling urban infrastructure highlight why groundwater depletion crisis and mismanagement put every society at risk. Readers will also discover how technology and policy are rewriting the map of survival. The politics of desalination, the rise of water diplomacy, and the complex world of hydropolitics reveal the opportunities and dangers of treating water as both a commodity and a right. This book is written for globally minded readers-policy watchers, students, professionals, and anyone concerned with climate change and water security-who want more than warnings; they want clarity. It offers a sharp framework for understanding why some nations thrive in the age of scarcity while others collapse, and what ordinary citizens can do to shape the future. By the final page, you will see water not as a silent backdrop to civilization but as the decisive force that will chart the next century's conflicts, alliances, and survival itself.
Autorenporträt
Adrian Calder writes about the quiet mechanics of power-how supply chains, energy systems, and advanced technologies shape the fate of nations. His work blends on¿the¿ground observation from ports, refineries, and semiconductor hubs with clear, systems¿level analysis for thoughtful general readers and practitioners alike. Over years of studying sanctions, chokepoints, and infrastructure risk, he has briefed business leaders, policy teams, and journalists on resilience and economic statecraft. Calder's guiding question-who controls what moves-drives his inquiry across energy, food, and chips, and animates his commitment to helping readers see the hidden contests that decide tomorrow's headlines.
