In this insightful travelogue, geopolitical expert Robert Kaplan explores the Adriatic Sea, a historical crossroads of trade, culture, and ideas. His journey through Italy and the Balkan nations reveals a deeper narrative than the typical news stories of populism and the refugee crisis suggest. Kaplan argues that the rise of populism is a mere symptom of the waning age of nationalism, indicating that Europe's future is moving in a new direction. As he travels from Italy to Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, and Greece, he offers sharp cultural criticism and a comprehensive study of Europe through these nations. He uncovers historical clues about the continent's future while reflecting on contemporary issues such as the refugee crisis, resurgent nationalism, and competition for fossil fuel resources. Kaplan emphasizes that the Adriatic is poised to reclaim its status as a global trading hub, particularly as it becomes linked to China's Belt and Road initiative. Through a blend of history, literature, art, architecture, and current events, complemented by a map and photographs, he illustrates how the Adriatic's geography encapsulates Europe, providing valuable insights into the continent's destiny.
