Description
The Red Sea is rapidly becoming a highly contested zone, where traditional and emerging global powers are vying for influence and control. In this book, Federico Donelli explores the dynamics of this new scramble for Africa, analyzing the interests, agendas, and threats of extra-regional players, with a particular focus on China and the United States. Using a range of International Relations theories, the book delves into the economic, geopolitical, and security issues driving this competition, including the strategic importance of shipping routes and the threat of terrorism and transnational crime. By examining the alliances and military presence of great powers in the region, Donelli seeks to predict the outcomes of this engagement and the impact it will have on the current and future global power balances. A must-read for scholars and policy-makers alike, this book offers a timely and insightful analysis of the rapidly changing security environment in the Red Sea.
