With contributions to leading publications and media outlets worldwide, Dr. Sotiriadis has cemented his role as a guide through today’s complicated geopolitical environment. His upcoming book, “The Revenge of Ideology,” promises to be a crucial read for anyone seeking to understand the forces shaping our world.
Do we really live in a post-ideological world? In “The Revenge of Ideology,” Jake Sotiriadis shatters this myth, exposing the very real ideological struggles unfolding today across the globe. Sotiriadis argues that we must re-conceptualize ideology itself if we are to understand and predict the behavior of competitor states in the 21st century.
In one of the most disruptive analyses on ideology since the end of the Cold War, “The Revenge of Ideology” gives us an in-depth look into emerging ideological networks in China, Russia, Turkey—networks that will shape the future global order. Engagingly written via a new theoretical approach, the book shows us that these networks are complex, living, breathing structures at the center of today’s great power competition. “The Revenge of Ideology” helps us cut through the present disruption to understand how populations, elites, states, and territories are seduced into joining new structures of meaning.
In a crucial turn, Sotiriadis warns us: No regime is immune. Democracy and authoritarianism alike are being reshaped by the forces of ideological influence. To grasp the emergence and dominance of state-centric ideologies in an era mistakenly perceived as devoid of them, “The Revenge of Ideology” is indispensable. This is a clarion call to all seeking to comprehend the currents shaping our collective futures.
