Turkey - tension with Greece about the 'Blue Wave' territory as well as preferring non-interference while working at rebuilding it's destiny as a global power. "Democracy" (power/control) for the Islamist authorities while removal/elimination of dissents. Probably those on the Middle East and Africa. The two different chapters are dealing with colonialism and religious divisions and, let’s be fair, troubling times. To boil that down without oversimplifying it was a real challenge. And also, not to inadvertently say something which might be too broad and insulting. Különben meg: szeretem a történelmet. Viszont a gyerekek utálják. Mert nekik unalmas: évszámok, rég meghalt királyok neve és uralkodási ideje, súlyos adathalmaz (mert az visszakérdezhető), ami agyonnyomja a mélyebb revelációkat – a pillanatot, amikor az ember megérti az összefüggést két időben és/vagy térben távol álló esemény között. p. 133 - "This is partially drive by the English language, which is spoken as a first tongue by upwards of 500 million people and by 1 billion people as a second. It remains the main language of commerce and international legal contracts. the UK's higher education system continues to attract some of the brightest and best (and richest) students." Despite this, Marshall reflected on how when he was reporting, he felt in danger “most of the time”. He described how “one time I thought I might be getting kidnapped by ISIS” and there were “a couple of close misses.”
p. 75 - "It cannot liberalized, as that undermines the foundations of what legitimacy it has left among the millions of people who still support it. But if it does not, each year passes the increasingly young population will chafe against a system more in tune with the sixteenth century than the twenty-first." Greece - tension with Turkey over the Aegean Sea and who actually "owns" which islands as well as economic collapse, few resources and dealing with masses of fleeing immigrants. Tim Marshall was Diplomatic Editor and foreign correspondent for Sky News. After thirty years’ experience in news reporting and presenting, he left full time news journalism to concentrate on writing and analysis.Tim Marshall discussing his new book ‘The Future of Geography’ (Image credits: Reva Croft) The Future of Geography
Well, we periodically go through turbulent times and that’s why they make history. It’s why we sit up and take notice. But in between there are long stretches of calmer times in which great progress is made. If history goes in waves, we will come out of this wave and we will carry on doing what we’ve done as a species for the last several centuries, which is rapidly improve. Tim Marshall signing the Cambridge Union book (Image credits: Reva Croft) Reporting on foreign affairs Tim’s a reported Leeds United supporter, and a Leeds United logo was visible at his home, on a Politics Live that aired February 22, 2022. It is a particularly turbulent and divisive time. That’s why I wrote Divided(in 2018), because I just felt that all the walls and the fences that have gone up are the physical manifestations of this divided time.Saudi Arabia: The kingdom of the house of Saud rules this oil rich nation that has been allied with the western powers and spread Wahhabism around the Muslim world. As oil is replaced with renewables it will be less important for the West to protect the kingdom. Saudi Arabia seeks to diversify its oil dominant economy. Saudi Arabia's main rival for regional influence in Middle East is Iran. After three years as IRN’s Paris correspondent and extensive work for BBC radio and TV, Tim joined Sky News. Reporting from Europe, the USA and Asia, Tim became Middle East Correspondent based in Jerusalem.
I cannot even count the number of times I've passed like a complete illiterate by saying stuff like Iranians are Arabic. And this is no small thing. One day a girl asked me if all Colombians were Mexicans. I was so confused by what she even meant with the question. Of course, I'm sure I've been on the ignorant side of the question more times that I've realized. He has written for many of the national newspapers including the Times, the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph, and the Sunday Times. Tim Marshall ist anerkannter Experte für Außenpolitik und arbeitete als Politik-Redakteur für die BBC und Sky News. In seinen Büchern erörtert er die großen internationalen Konflikte unserer Zeit auf geopolitischer Ebene. Sein neuestes, von Lutz-W. Wolff übersetztes Buch "Die Macht der Geographie im 21. Jahrhundert" wurde mir vor allem zum Verständnis des Kriegs in der Ukraine und den damit verbundenen Hintergründen und Zusammenhängen empfohlen.

His blog, ‘Foreign Matters’, was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize in 2010. For his Iraq War coverage, he was a finalist for the Royal Television Society’s News Event category. He earned finalist certificates for a report on the Mujahideen, in 2007, and in 2004 for “The Desert Kingdom”, his documentary, which featured exclusive access to Crown Prince Abdullah and all of his palaces. Tim, during his twenty-four years at Sky News, reported from thirty countries and covered the events of twelve wars. He’s reported from the United States (covering three US Presidential Elections), Europe, and Asia, as well as from the field in Serbia (during the Balkan wars of the 1990s), Bosnia, and Croatia. One of his most notable moments on Sky News involved a six hour unbroken broadcast during the first Gulf War. He was the final journalist to interview Pakistan’s Benazhir Bhutto ahead of her return from exile and subsequent assassination. Turkey: Former ruler of the Ottoman Empire which controlled the Middle East and North Africa, it now rules a country primarily in minor Asia with a large percentage of its people living in the European capital Istanbul. It has a large Kurdish minority in Turkey and surrounding countries and uses its military might to stymie efforts for an independent Kurdistan in Iraq, Syria and at home. Has allied with Libya to compete with the influence of Egypt and support its claims over territorial waters controlled by Greece. Ongoing disputes with Greece over islands and territorial waters. And we need to understand it fast if we're to avoid history repeating itself, because "each time humanity has ventured into a new domain it has brought war with it". Marshall reminds us how shipbuilding and aerospace gave us warships and fighter jets. For him, the mushrooming space technology sector is unlikely to follow a different trajectory. The "battlefield" as he calls it, is beginning to take shape: "tensions are already surfacing surrounding hotspots" such as Moon bases. The Power of Geography: Ten Maps That Reveal the Future of Our World” is a non-fiction book that was released in 2021. Marshall, in this revelatory new book, explores ten regions which are set to shape global politics in a new age of great power rivalry: the UK, Turkey, Australia, Iran, Greece, the Sahel, Saudi Arabia, Space, Ethiopia, and Spain.
