About The New Map

Daniel Yergin examines the changing relationship among energy, climate, and international power. He connects resource production and infrastructure with national ambitions and emerging technologies, showing how energy transitions interact with geopolitical competition.

Why I include it

The energy-system detail in The New Map gives substance to broader arguments about national power. Read it alongside the realignment books to examine what sits beneath their forecasts.
