Publisher Description
Is the changing world order visible only in war, borders, and military power, or are new axes of power also taking shape within currencies, debt, technology, energy, information flows, and supply chains? Centered on this question, Axis Shift: The Philosophy of Power, Economics, and Humanity explores the complex map of multidimensional competition and mutual dependence in the modern world.
The book considers the dollar and global trust, economic sanctions, manufacturing and the semiconductor industry, the energy transition, critical minerals, infrastructure, digital financial flows, information warfare, artificial intelligence, the dignity of labor, and the role of international institutions. Here, the phrase "undeclared world war" is not a claim that a literal or verified military situation exists. It is a metaphor for economic and technological pressure, whose limits and real-world effects must be examined separately.
The scope of the analysis extends beyond rivalry among global powers. It also considers how small and middle-sized states such as Bangladesh can expand their freedom of decision through export and market diversification, skills development, financial stability, energy security, and diplomatic balance. Ultimately, the book's central question is a human one: how does the transfer of power affect people's security, rights, justice, freedom, and the lives of future generations?
