International economics; Business strategy; Industrial chemistry & manufacturing technologies

A single obstruction can silence factories on the other side of the ocean. This book reveals how power now flows through containers, contracts, standards, and code-and why mastering supply chain strategy increasingly determines who sets the terms. If you want to read the world without waiting for headlines, start with the map of flows.

Across industries and borders, you will learn how maritime chokepoints, semiconductor supply chains, and rare earth security create quiet leverage. You will see how logistics technology and alliances can harden weak links, how strategic autonomy is scoped rather than shouted, and how economic warfare is prosecuted through pricing power, payment rails, and insurance clauses. This is for executives, policymakers, operators, and curious citizens who need a sober framework for resilient operations amid geoeconomic competition and rising trade weaponisation.

Clear models, grounded cases, and practical checklists help you spot dependencies, price fragility, and design route and supplier portfolios that cannot be coerced overnight. No hype, no fatalism - just a craft for reading and shaping the infrastructures that shape us.

Dr. Helena Markovic is a Croatian economist and logistics strategist who helps governments and firms see power where others see paperwork. As a consultant on trade vulnerability and industrial resilience for NATO and the EU, she works at the seam where supply chains meet policy. She grew up on the Adriatic, where a single closed crossing could strand a town, and she carries that lesson into boardrooms: flows are a public good and a strategic asset. Her writing blends fieldwork with clear-eyed analysis to show how bottlenecks form, how leverage is applied, and how resilience can be designed without hysteria. She believes that the spirit of Ragusa's merchant-republic - pragmatic, outward-looking, and careful with promises - still offers guidance for an interdependent age.
