The New Silk Roads

The New Silk Roads is a book that reconsiders the relationships being created across the ancient trade routes in the present day. It is presented as a contemporary non-fiction work focused on global connections and shifting international dynamics.

Synopsis

The New Silk Roads takes a fresh look at how links are forming along the length and breadth of the Silk Roads today, set against a backdrop of dramatic change worldwide. It contrasts themes of isolation and fragmentation described as permeating the western world, in an age of Brexit and Trump, with developments along the Silk Roads where ties are being strengthened and mutual cooperation established.

The book invites readers to re-examine who we are and where we stand in the world, and highlights themes presented as central to lives and livelihoods.
