520 1 $a"Here, political scientist Jakub J. Grygiel brings to light the importance of incorporating geography into grand strategy. He argues that states can increase and maintain their position of power by pursuing a geostrategy that focuses on control of resources and lines of communication. Grygiel examines case studies of Venice, the Ottoman Empire, and China in the global fifteenth century - all great powers that faced a dramatic change in geopolitics when new routes and continents were discovered."--BOOK JACKET.
