At the start of the 18th century, India’s share of the global economy accounted for about 23 percent. Two centuries later, when the British left India, the subcontinent’s share dropped to around 3 percent. It was a dramatic transition, and what exactly transpired within that colonial era sits at the heart of Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India by Shashi Tharoor.

As the wheel of time turns and nations become increasingly interconnected by land, air, sea and cyberspace, disputes ripple across regions. This is especially true in Europe, where new elections, treaties and events will reshape the continent. Here’s what we need to keep an eye out for in 2019.

Having pledged 62 billion USD in dozens of energy and infrastructure projects, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is one of the largest commercial initiatives in South Asia. The corridor stretches along the length of Pakistan and the combined value of all the projects equals all the foreign direct investment in the country since 1970. The megaproject also marks as China’s biggest overseas investment. Yet, a plan of this magnitude is not without its geo-economic challenges.

Africa is home to many cultures, languages, religions and raw materials. Yet, despite the diversity, the local nations share the same difficulties, such as rapid population growth, endemic poverty, corruption, as well as the activity of transnational militants. These and more will determine Africa’s geopolitical affairs in 2019.

For many nations across Sub-Saharan Africa, the legacy of European colonialism remains a fact of existence. In Cameroon, the nation finds itself torn between the francophone government and anglophone separatists. Although frustrations emerged briskly a few years ago, the origins of the standoff traces back to the colonial era and the infamous scramble for Africa.

Predictions of a grim future have been a constant occurrence throughout human history, but they haven’t come to pass. Quite the opposite, our lives have improved dramatically in terms of life expectancy, nutrition, wealth, literacy and other measures. The Rational Optimist: How Prosperity Evolves by Matt Ridley argues that this positive trend will continue, focusing on how humanity as a species succeeded and why we should embrace an optimist view of the world going into the future.

The last time Pakistani and Indian warplanes bombed each other’s territory was in 1971. More than 10,000 troops perished, and Pakistan was torn apart, resulting in the new state of Bangladesh. Yet, at the time, neither Islamabad nor New Delhi had developed the nuclear arsenals that they wield today. So, when Indian jets breached Pakistan’s airspace on February 26th, it marked the deadliest point of friction in South Asia in decades. But, how did the two countries come so close to the edge of madness and what exactly happened?

Set in the fictional world of George R.R. Martin’s creation, the HBO hit series Game of Thrones mostly takes place on the continent of Westeros where the rights of kings, queens and nobles are undisputed. Story-wise, it borrows heavily from English history. The fictional Seven Kingdoms are largely based on the realms of the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy in the 5th century, and the conflict between the Lannisters and the Starks is analogous to the War of the Roses. In the show, there are many bloody, multipolar conflicts that involve treachery, greed, corruption, betrayal, allegiances, debts, as well as nihilistic attitudes to religions. Game of Thrones also deals with modern topics such as gender politics, climate change, multiculturalism, immigration, egalitarian totalitarianism, and so forth, but most of these issues are veiled and romanticized in the medieval context. The only fixed truth in this Machiavellian universe is the geography of Westeros, which is what we will be analysing in this

In 2016, Americans elected a president who rejected democratic rules and norms, denied the legitimacy of his political opponents, condoned violence, and curtailed civil liberties and the freedom of the press. With that, Trump fulfils all the characterizations of authoritarian leadership, at least according to How Democracies Die by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt.

Starting in 431 BC, the ancient Greek world turned on itself as Sparta and Athens locked horns. The result of this rivalry, as is captured vividly and analysed thoroughly by historian Thucydides, was a dynamic conflict that pitted a land power against a naval power. The hostilities lasted on and off for decades, but the events fundamentally shaped the study of geopolitics. It was a war like no other. The catalyst of this conflict and steady manner in which it grew into all-out hostilities has inspired strategic concepts and thinkers throughout the ages. So, to draw parallels with the present, we must analyse Thucydides Trap’ and go over the origins of the Peloponnesian War.

In one of the most neglected places on the globe, Uzbekistan has the distinction of being the most overlooked state. Most people know little about the country, except that it’s isolated, rife with corruption and fighting some obscure insurgency. Other bits of insight people have is that the country employs draconian laws, whilst dealing with ethnic tensions and disputes over resources. All these assumptions are true, but in geopolitics, Uzbekistan is not your typical dictatorship.

That person was Emperor Kangxi of the Great Qing, and his achievements continue to set the influence contemporary Chinese politics.
