Part history, part travel-guide, and part political treatise,
Macaes makes sense of our fracturing world in ways very few others
could. That he does so with such style is nothing short of
impressive
*Ian Bremmer, President and Founder of the Eurasia Group*
A masterpiece. A book which combines practical experience,
theoretical depth, classical literature and travel. Beautifully
written. Major thumbs up. Could become a seminal work in IR
*Alexander Stubb, Vice-president, European Investment Bank, Former
Prime Minister of Finland*
Bruno Maçães announces a new order for the 21st century
*Peter Thiel, entrepreneur, investor, and bestselling author of
'Zero to One'*
One of the strengths of The Dawn of Eurasia is that the author has
chosen to leave the Davos comfort zone and to travel widely in
remote areas. As a result, he mixes his academic analysis with
skilful reportage drawn from his travels. This makes the book both
more entertaining and more convincing. As well as being a shrewd
geopolitical analyst, Maçães is a gifted travel writer, with a
sharp eye and a dry wit ... The concept of Eurasia is re-emerging
from the history books to become a central concern of contemporary
politics. Maçães is one of the first authors to explore the
significance of this development and he is a consistently
interesting guide
*Financial Times*
Sharp, unprejudiced and witty
*NRC*
Filled with observations and insights gathered while travelling
across Eurasia, Bruno Maçaes' account sets out why we are at the
start of a new era in global affairs. An informative and perceptive
guide, Maçaes introduces regions, peoples and countries that few
pay attention to. In the changing world of the 21st century,
understanding Eurasia is more important than ever. This book helps
prepare for the world of tomorrow, today
*Peter Frankopan, bestselling author of 'The Silk Roads: A New
History of the World'*
Bruno Macaes deftly navigates beyond the traditional dichotomy of
the prevalent global balance of powers and, with the skill of a
seasoned pundit, offers the exciting possibilities of a world
readjusting to a new geopolitical architecture. An absorbing
read.
*Shashi Tharoor, author of 'Inglorious Empire'*
Brilliant, bold and beautifully told, The Dawn of Eurasia reveals
world geopolitics like an unputdownable thriller. Seen from
Brussels, Beijing, and everywhere from Istanbul to Almaty and in
between, this is the extraordinary journey teeming with Russian
spies, Chinese thinkers, Turkish radicals and Iranian artists. This
is a profound piece of political thinking as comfortable with
Russian and Chinese ideas, as it is with exposing the limits of our
own
*Ben Judah, author of 'This Is London: Life and Death in the World
City'*
Technically this doesn't come out until January, but it is my pick
for "best of the year.' It is one book that has changed how I frame
2017 and beyond'
*Tyler Cowen, NYT bestselling author of 'The Great Stagnation'*
Subtle, brilliant essayistic points about the future of world
politics leap off the pages of this utterly original travelogue.
There are few better people to listen to than Bruno Maçães
regarding our current historical juncture
*Robert D. Kaplan, author of 'The Revenge of Geography' and 'The
Return of Marco Polo's World'*
Bruno Maçães develops the great tradition of Portuguese travelers
and adventurers by opening new countries and continents to the
world, which was Europe. Maçães does that by a combination of a
wealth of juicy first hand experiences from his travels through
most of Euroasia, and with an elegant analysis of historical and
cultural factors, making him an original geopolitical philosopher.
I agree with the idea that a new geopolitical and geoeconomic
entity is in process of formation and could become the foundation
of the future world order. We in Russia (and China) call it Greater
Eurasian partnership and it, of course, includes the western tip of
the continent - Europe. The book is a great fun to read, too
*Sergey A Karaganov, Dean of the School of World Economy and
International Affairs of the National Research University Higher
School of Economics in Moscow*
Maçães skilfully guides his readers beyond the dangerous and
increasing parochialism that dominates each country's news,
demonstrating a serious grasp of grander strategies and deeper
shifts ... Maçães is a knowledgeable, widely read and widely
travelled guide
