The Arctic is becoming the next great arena of global power competition — a geostrategic theatre where the US and China will engage in a new Great Game.

Book cover design for Sea Change by Rana Foroohar, 2026

Rana Foroohar makes that clear in this gripping account of competition between Russia, China, and the United States to shape the Arctic. The story she tells about shipbuilding, critical minerals, and the industrial base we let atrophy, is a must-read for policymakers, executives, and citizens alike.

– Gina Raimondo, 40th United States Commerce Secretary

Foroohar understands the global political economy better than any other journalist today. Her first book, Makers and Takers: The Rise of Finance and the Fall of American Business (Crown), about why the capital markets no longer support business, was shortlisted for the Financial Times McKinsey Book of the Year award in 2016. Her second book Don’t Be Evil: How Big Tech Betrayed Its Founding Principles And All of Us (Crown) was the Porchlight Business Book of the Year for 2019. Her Third Book, "Homecoming: The Path To Prosperity In A Post-Global World," will be released by Crown on in 2022.

Sea Change, her latest book to be published Fall 2026 by Penguin Random House, examines how the Arctic is becoming the next great arena of global power, trade, and resource dominance.
