Overview

Power in the Invisible Age explores how power in the 21st century has shifted from visible assets-territory, military force, and industry - to hidden systems that shape global interaction. Through a rigorous yet accessible analysis, the book reveals how digital infrastructures, financial networks, supply chains, and technological platforms now determine influence, dependency, and strategic advantage. Blending theory with real-world case studies - from sanctions on Russia to semiconductor chokepoints - the author introduces key concepts such as systemic power, strategic sovereignty, and infrastructure intelligence. These frameworks provide a new lens for understanding geopolitics, economics, and national strategy in an interconnected world. Essential reading for policymakers, business leaders, and strategic thinkers, this book offers not only a diagnosis of the emerging global order but also a roadmap for navigating it. It challenges readers to rethink power - not as what nations possess, but as how they position themselves within the invisible systems that govern the modern world.
