Book Review of 'The New Age of Development. The Geopolitical Assertion of Eurasia' by Paul Dobrescu and Flavia Durach, Springer, 2022, 201 pages

Abstract

The book by Paul Dobrescu and Flavia Durach is a reflection and a meditation on how economic, social, cultural, and technological developments have shaped the world to the way in which it is today. The book is a collection of ideas on contemporary development, some of which have been previously published in various outlets (books and specialized journals) by the two authors together or separately. The volume reviewed here examines the most impactful global developments based on a detailed presentation and analysis of facts and situations. The authors do not intend to offer solutions to challenges and problems faced by countries from the Eurasian continent; however, their declared aim is “to formulate questions and to signal perspectives” (p. ix) that readers might use to build their own interpretation of the development affordances and of the unfolding crises of the contemporary world.
