Book ID/图书代码： 05518019C00028
English Summary/英文概要： Alliances, manipulation, rivalry, psychological
warfare… Better than Game of Thrones: the core
principles of geostrategy
Is there anything more cut-throat than global politics?
Wherever you turn – Europe, Russia, China, Korea, Syria, the Middle East – we are living in a time of global geopolitical power plays. Once an insider to this closed world, Pedro Banos reveals that however it might be smoothed over by the PR of political diplomacy, the world of geopolitics is one of war and conflict by strategic means, where countries have sought dominion and power over their rivals since the dawn of time.
Banos presents this high-stakes game as a series of 22 universal rules on how to act and exert influence in the international sphere. Each principle is contextualised in both classical and modern history, from Bismarck to Kissinger, but also related to the current world of Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping. With titles like ‘Kicking Away the Ladder’, ‘The Tower of Champagne Glasses’, ‘The Madman’, and ‘The Mule and the Saddlebags’, How They Rule the World is a practical set of rules for engagement that can be enjoyed by anyone. Written with the philosophic, aphoristic timelessness of a von Bulow, Sun Tzu or Machiavelli, Banos has created an utterly gripping manual on the secrets of how strategic power really works.

聯盟、操縱、競爭、心理戰......現實中的地緣政治比《冰與火之歌：權力遊戲》更精彩！
近幾年，複雜的世界局勢意味著自二次大戰以後，曾經勢微的地緣政治學又再度崛起。但是，在頭條新聞以外，世界各國彼此的關係到底是什麼？他們又採取了何種策略？
在本書中，西班牙陸軍上校及軍事戰略專家Pedro Baños透過大量的例子，為我們揭露一系列經典的地緣政治策略（都是基於虛偽和利用他人的弱點），這些策略歷經時間的考驗，成為當代世界的孫子兵法。在本書中，我們還會發現，在整個世界歷史中，同一套地緣政治的錯誤也一再被重複。
