Routledge Connecting Africa and Asia: Afrasia Book

As the global center of gravity shifts, understanding the rise of the Afrasia macro-region becomes essential for global citizens. By the year 2100, more than 80 percent of the world's population is expected to reside within the combined regions of Africa and Asia. This book from the New Regionalisms Series provides a new cognitive map of the world to help readers navigate this changing landscape. Through lessons drawn from history, the text examines the challenges that emerge in the age of Afrasia. It explores whether the world can manage a soft landing into a sustainable equilibrium and highlights how the dialogue organized between people in Africa and Asia will shape the future. This work offers a deep look into the potential for equilibrium between these two massive regions, providing a necessary perspective on the emerging geopolitical and social dynamics of the coming century.
