Aftershock Politics looks past shattered skylines and relief tents to expose the deeper fault lines earthquakes create those buried in politics, power, and global strategy. From Tokyo to Tehran, Port-au-Prince to the Himalayas, each major quake tests not only buildings but the strength and motives of nations.
Through a mix of military analysis, case studies, and sharp geopolitical insight, this book unpacks how earthquakes can become moments of leverage or vulnerability. How do governments turn disaster aid into diplomacy? When does relief become strategy? And how do ideas like “tectonic warfare” blur the line between science and suspicion?
Moving from command centers to crisis zones, Aftershock Politics shows how nature’s violence reshapes alliances, exposes weakness, and redefines what resilience means on the world stage.
Disasters don’t just move the earth they move power. What happens when the next one hits?
