ЭЛЕМЕНТЫ ВЛАСТИ: Критические минералы, стратегическая конкуренция и новая география глобального влияния

Advanced economies depend on materials most citizens cannot name. That dependence is now a strategic liability. Lithium, rare earth elements, cobalt, and graphite enable everything from smartphones to stealth aircraft. But their supply chains concentrate in a handful of countries, creating structural vulnerabilities that traditional geopolitical frameworks fail to explain and conventional policy responses struggle to address. The Elements of Power provides the analytical foundation for understanding why physical materials extracted from the earth's crust now shape relations among the world's most powerful states—and why this dynamic will define strategic competition for decades. In this book, you will discover: Written for policy professionals, graduate students in international relations and security studies, strategic analysts, and serious readers who need rigorous frameworks for understanding mineral geopolitics beyond headlines and investment narratives. The Elements of Power is Book 2 of The Geopolitics of Critical Materials series by Evander Knoxley. Continue with The Mineral State to understand why the strategies this book examines so consistently fail at implementation.
