Abstract

The article discusses the concept of a "polycrisis" in the context of global history, geopolitics, and geoeconomics. It reflects on past events such as the end of the Cold War, the rise of China, and the optimism of the early 1990s. The text highlights the interconnected challenges facing humanity today, including environmental change, technological development, economic disorder, and global migration. It also compares the current age of crisis to historical periods, emphasizing the potential for innovation, discovery, and hope amidst the challenges. The author, Peter Frankopan, provides a nuanced perspective on the complexities of the modern world and the lessons that history can offer in understanding and addressing contemporary crises.
