La Sibérie orientale à l'Est du lac Baïkal est grande, vide, inexploitée, et contient d'immenses richesses naturelles. De l'autre côté de l'Amour, les provinces chinoises limitrophes comptent plus de 120 millions d'habitants. Avec une Chine animée d'un dynamisme économique sans comparaison avec celui de la Russie de Poutine, se profile un des plus importants problèmes de la géopolitique contemporaine.

It is not liberalism, democracy, and pluralism that will emerge triumphant, he argues, but instead radical Islam. Bradley illustrates how, in a region awash with extremist Wahhabi ideology, intertribal rivalries, and Sunni-Shia divisions, the idea that liberal and progressive trends will prevail is little more than wishful thinking"--
