Summary
Pepe Escobar is a veteran journalist, author, and geopolitical analyst renowned for his coverage of Eurasia, energy politics, and the rise of a multipolar world order. A longtime foreign correspondent who has lived across Europe and Asia, he gained prominence with his "Roving Eye" column at Asia Times, where he serves as editor-at-large, and is also a columnist for The Cradle. Since the 1980s, Escobar has extensively reported from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia, the Middle East, Iran, and China, often focusing on pipelines ("Pipelineistan"), great-power competition, and resistance to Western hegemony. Known for his colorful, sharp style and staunch anti-imperialist perspective, he is the author of books including Globalistan, Red Zone Blues, and Raging Twenties, making him a leading voice in alternative and non-Western geopolitical commentary.
