The author of "The Revenge of Geography" turns his insightful gaze here to a region that for centuries has been a meeting point of cultures, trade and ideas. Through a journey along the coast of the Adriatic Sea, he passes through Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Greece. Although rarely treated as a single region, the Adriatic is at the center of the most important challenges of our time: The rise of populist politics, the migration crisis, conflicts over control of energy sources are just some of them.
And once again the Adriatic is becoming a global trade hub, one that will help define Europe's relationship with the rest of the world, as China and Russia compete for dominance of its ports. Kaplan explores how the region has changed in the three decades he has been observing it as a journalist. He finds that understanding both the historical and contemporary Adriatic opens a window into the future of Europe as a whole, and brings to light a harsh truth: The era of populism is an epiphenomenon - a symptom of the era of nationalism, which is coming to an end. Instead, the continent is returning to the alignments of the early modern period, as the divisions between East and West meet and collide in the countries of the Adriatic and ultimately throughout Europe. Combining knowledge of history, literature, art and architecture with the analysis of current issues, Kaplan demonstrates that the Adriatic can reveal to us where global developments are leading.
