For over a century, the Panama Canal has been a vital artery of global trade and a focal point of international power struggles. Built by the United States in the early 20th century, controlled by Panama since 1999, and increasingly influenced by China's economic expansion, the canal has remained at the heart of geopolitical competition.In The Panama Canal: Geopolitics, Economics, and the Future of a Global Waterway, this book explores the canal's history, economic significance, and future amid shifting global power dynamics. From the controversial handover in 1999 to China's growing investments in Panama and BlackRock's strategic acquisition of key ports, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of how sovereignty, commerce, and superpower influence continue to shape the canal's destiny.
With detailed insights into U.S.-China tensions, the role of multinational corporations, and Panama's delicate balancing act, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in global trade, international relations, and economic strategy. As the world's superpowers compete for influence over one of the most crucial waterways in history, the question remains: Who truly controls the Panama Canal in the 21st century? ORDER A COPY
