About this audiobook
Finland sits at the eastern edge of Europe, sharing a 1,340-kilometre border with Russia. From this vantage point, geopolitics is not a dinner-party abstraction. It is the sound of fighter jets on exercise runs and the quiet recalculation that happens every time Washington or Moscow shakes.
The Way of the World examines the defining tensions of our moment: the fracturing of the transatlantic alliance, the rise of Chinese structural power, the erosion of democratic institutions, and Europe’s belated awakening to its own vulnerabilities. Drawing on essays published between 2025 and 2026, Harri Jalovaara offers a clear-eyed account of how the rules-based order is coming apart — and what, if anything, can replace it.
A European perspective. An honest reckoning. A case for why it still matters.
