Une géopolitique des empires à travers six mille ans d'histoire n'avait jamais été tentée. C'est ce que réalise cet ouvrage, depuis le premier empire (celui de Sargon, en Mésopotamie, au IIIe millénaire avant notre ère) jusqu'à l'effondrement du dernier, l'Union soviétique. Forts de cette appréciation du temps long, les auteurs invitent à dresser les contours du monde de demain, celui qui suivra la crise majeure que nous traversons. Quel rôle primordial joue la géographie dans l'histoire ? Comment l'industrialisation, l'urbanisation et la réduction de l'espace-temps bouleversent-elles les équilibres ? Faut-il croire à un amenuisement décisif du rôle des Etats ? Quel type de pouvoir les Etats-Unis et la Chine, mus par le souci de conserver ou de restaurer leur imperium, vont-ils exercer dans les décennies à venir ?

The war in Ukraine, with the exposure of nuclear power stations and the danger of atomic warfare, has made the legacy of the Soviet nuclear sector of critical importance. The two authors map the Soviet nuclear industry in a shifting historical context, making sense of a complex socio-technical and environmental history. Taking an innovative approach, this book explores the history of atomic power in the former Soviet Union using the spatial dimensions of the nuclear industry as a point of departure. The key concept is that of the archipelago - a network of nuclear facilities spread throughout the Soviet territory, but mutually reliant on each other and densely connected. The story traces the emergence of nuclear science and technology for military and civilian purposes through to the post-Soviet Russian nuclear corporations as providers of resources and technology. The book explains how nuclear developments in the Soviet Union interacted with processes of environmental and landscape change. The spatial lens offers an analytically fruitful and pedagogically stimulating way to comprehend the nuclear histories of the Soviet Union and its successor states.
