Big Picture: Geopolitics - Renaissance, Coma or Unbroken Continuation

By: Herrmann, Wilfried A.

The Big Picture: Geopolitics—Renaissance, Coma, or Unbroken Continuation? invites readers to see world affairs through a wider, bolder lens. Bringing together essays by 16 contributors from 10 countries across four continents, this timely collection draws on the hard-won experience of geopolitical strategists, diplomats, United Nations professionals, humanitarians, field practitioners, academics, and strategic think-tank researchers. Many have spent much of their lives living and working beyond their own countries and cultures. Free from a single institutional viewpoint, their personal experiences, reflections, forecasts, and mind-blowing new insights reveal geopolitics not as an abstract discipline, but as a force that shapes lives, nations, and the future.
Each essay offers a fresh approach to classical geopolitics, combining intellectual journeys, global and regional knowledge, and conclusions that often challenge the established consensus. The contributors venture into urgent new frontiers: Can geopolitics be understood as a form of applied technology? How can ‘Symbolic Intelligence’, ‘Kindfidence’, ‘Chronopolitics’, and the links between ‘Ethnomorphosis’ and Geopolitics deepen our understanding of power and change? And what happens when geopolitics converges with strategy, Grand Strategy, and outer space at the ending of the Cold War era—what some experts call “the rupture”? Provocative, accessible, and as exciting as a thriller, this collection equips readers to question familiar assumptions and recognize the forces redefining the contemporary world. Published to celebrate the Thai-registered Human Development Forum Foundation’s (HDFF) 20 anniversary, The Big Picture is an essential guide for anyone seeking knowledge rather than opinion in an increasingly uncertain age. It brings HDFF’s motto to life: “Knowledge improves life.”
