Books like Divided by Tim Marshall


In *Divided*, Tim Marshall analyses the most urgent geopolitical issues of our age by tracing the development of borders, walls and barriers that separate peoples and states. From the Great Wall of China to Hadrian’s Wall, from Berlin to China’s Great Firewall, he shows how isolationism, economic nationalism, immigration concerns and security threats have driven the construction of new walls. Marshall discusses how a third of the world’s countries have border barriers and how these divisions reflect deeper social cleavages in wealth, race, religion and politics. By mapping these physical and ideological fissures he provides a clearer understanding of contemporary world politics and the forces that shape global conflict and cooperation.
