The 21st century will not be dominated by America or China, Brazil or India, but by the city," writes Parag Khanna (1). The author of several books on global strategy, Khanna argues that (some) cities, as islands of good governance in an increasingly unstable world, will become the cornerstone of a new world order.
That new world order won’t be a “global village” of nation states, for globalisation is corroding national sovereignty. Rather, it will be a loose network of semi-independent city states, perhaps resembling the Hanseatic League and other medieval trading alliances.

To Parag Khanna, maps aren’t static outlines of the world’s regions. Instead, maps tell stories: of how we got to this point in human history; of our social, economic, political and infrastructural developments; and perhaps most of all, of our potential as an increasingly integrated world.
Maps have arguably always been about connectivity. Khanna, however, takes this to a whole new level in his book Connectography: Mapping The Future Of Global Civilization (Random House, 2016).
The well-researched, detailed and beautifully-illustrated maps within the book’s pages capture a whole range of current issues, from regional cooperation and global warming to migration and emerging superpowers. They posit that the world is a lot more connected by pipelines, railways, shipping routes and Internet cables than national borders may suggest. As urban centres continue to expand, he says, about 40 or so megacities may shape the world more than our current 200 nations.

Un livre qui a bien plu à @fil
In the 1980s, Disney World, Florida offered a gripping, virtual journey as viewed by a blood corpuscle as it rushes through the arteries, veins, into and out of organs in the human body.
Parag Khanna’s fourth and latest book – Connectography: Mapping the Global Network Revolution – does much the same for the world of physical and digital infrastructure.

Mégacités. A l’avenir, les villes auront le pouvoir, pas les pays
Les grands centres urbains, de plus en plus connectés au reste de la planète, sont devenus les points névralgiques de l’économie mondiale, faisant même passer les Etats au second plan de la mondialisation, explique Parag Khanna, l’auteur de Connectography.
#Cartographie. Les #villes prennent le pouvoir
De la Californie au delta de la rivière des Perles, en Chine, l’avenir s’écrit dans des pôles urbains tentaculaires. D’ici à 2025, il y aura au moins quarante de ces villes ultra-connectées dans le monde. Par-delà les frontières, elles inventent une autre forme de gouvernance et d’économie, affirme Parag Khanna, l’auteur de Connectography : Mapping The Future of Global Civilization (éd. Penguin Random House, avril 2016, non traduit en français).

About Connectography
From the visionary bestselling author of The Second World and How to Run the World comes a bracing and authoritative guide to a future shaped less by national borders than by global supply chains, a world in which the most connected powers—and people—will win.
Connectivity is the most revolutionary force of the twenty-first century. Mankind is reengineering the planet, investing up to ten trillion dollars per year in transportation, energy, and communications infrastructure linking the world’s burgeoning megacities together. This has profound consequences for geopolitics, economics, demographics, the environment, and social identity. Connectivity, not geography, is our destiny.
In Connectography, visionary strategist Parag Khanna travels from Ukraine to Iran, Mongolia to North Korea, Pakistan to Nigeria, and across the Arctic Circle and the South China Sea to explain the rapid and unprecedented changes affecting every part of the planet. He shows how militaries are deployed to protect supply chains as much as borders, and how nations are less at war over territory than engaged in tugs-of-war over pipelines, railways, shipping lanes, and Internet cables. The new arms race is to connect to the most markets—a race China is now winning, having launched a wave of infrastructure investments to unite Eurasia around its new Silk Roads. The United States can only regain ground by fusing with its neighbors into a super-continental North American Union of shared resources and prosperity.
