La mentalidad trágica

After long experience as an international journalist, war correspondent and influential adviser to top US agencies, Robert D. Kaplan is convinced that it takes more than geopolitical knowledge to understand how individuals act and how rulers decide. For him, the keys to understanding the human spirit and the ins and outs of international politics are given to us by tragedy. At its best, Shakespeare and the Greek tragedians show us, among many other things, the unforeseeable consequences of difficult decisions, the confrontation between order and chaos, coexistence with fear and the constant struggle that determines the fate of people.
