• Peter Zeihan posits that as the global order fragments, communities and countries that emulate the cooperative model of early Rome will be best equipped to thrive.
• The historical precedent of early Rome’s hilltop settlements illustrates this by abandoning conflict for integrated economies, infrastructure, and security, which fostered collective strength and prosperity.
• Applying this framework to the present, regions such as Southeast Asia or the Southern Cone of South America could significantly benefit by forging strong economic ties and leveraging complementary resources to build resilience in a more fragmented world.
