GEOFUSION 2.0

The Book

Globalization has entered a new period, the age of technology and knowledge, and the Eurasian era based on a long-term sustainable growth. International relations in the 21st century have become even more complex and intricate, and geography plays an important role in their understanding this. Geofusion is the synthesis of network maps depicting the functional relations arranged into hubs, and can be used to outline the new economic and geopolitical powers of our world.

How can we orientate ourselves on the geofusional world map of the 21st century? Why are geographical factors important? How can we understand the new economic and geopolitical world trend with the help of geography? What role will global cities play in the coming decades and how will the order of their competitiveness change? How does connectivity shape our world? What does a new and connected Eurasia mean, and why is this Eurasian era based on a long-term growth important? How does the spatial structure of our world change and what geopolitical models can be used to describe them?

In order to understand the processes and the driving forces of this new era, we need new maps. The book shows the geographical processes of today’s global, social, and economic world order. It also presents the 21st century global geofusional map bearing an uncanny resemblance to the map about the spread of COVID-19 pandemic which broke out in 2020…

A map, that changed the World.

Maps are important. But the way we use them differs from the way we used to read them. What do they show us? Differences or distances? What are the roles of a map read by 2.5 billion people in our digitalized era? This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
