In early 2022, Charlie Walker set out to hike 600 miles along the frozen rivers of Siberia. He hoped to cut through the myth of the gulag and the permafrost to understand who its people are and how they reckon with their haunted past, as well as what the future might hold for this remote corner of our world. But on 24 February, Russia invaded Ukraine, with devastating consequences. What had begun as an adventure swiftly descended into a paranoid nightmare, as Walker began to suspect he was being monitored by the Russian authorities. Shortly afterwards he was arrested and imprisoned.

Deutschland steht an einem Wendepunkt: Sind wir bereit, für Frieden, Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung Verantwortung zu übernehmen und Konsequenzen zu ziehen – politisch, diplomatisch und militärisch? Er analysiert Versäumnisse, benennt bequeme Narrative und zeigt, warum und welche Reformen jetzt notwendig sind. Zwischen technologischem Wandel, globalen Krisen und einer kaum verteidigungsbereiten Bundeswehr entwirft Kiesewetter zwei gegenläufige Zukunftsbilder: Werden wir zum handlungsfähigen Akteur – oder überlassen wir unsere Zukunft fremden Mächten?

C'è stato un tempo in cui per un giovane cinese mangiare pollo fritto da KFC a Pechino era un atto di trasgressione, e guardare Titanic al cinema significava sognare un futuro come quello di Los Angeles. Per decenni, la Cina ha osservato gli Stati Uniti con una fascinazione magnetica, un misto di desiderio e complesso d'inferiorità. L'America non era solo un partner o un nemico: era lo specchio in cui la Cina cercava la propria immagine riflessa per capire cosa sarebbe diventata «da grande». Oggi quel mondo è finito e quelle immagini sono cambiate.

When Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, analysts and policymakers highlighted the unifying shock that NATO members experienced.

The IMF and World Bank were created to help countries survive financial crises and to help them develop into prosperous economic actors. But their 75-year track record shows the opposite: their loans and structural adjustment policies have plunged poor countries into impossibly large debt traps and forced the Third World to focus on producing goods for consumption in the West, instead of growing consumption and industry at home.

In June 1992, Chris Patten went to Hong Kong as the last British governor, to try to prepare it not—as other British colonies over the decades—for independence, but for handing back in 1997 to the Chinese, from whom most of its territory had been leased 99 years previously. Over the next five years, he kept this diary, which describes in detail how Hong Kong was run as a British colony and what happened as the handover approached. The book gives unprecedented insights into negotiating with the Chinese.

Kissinger's six leaders are Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew and Margaret Thatcher. All of them were formed in a period when established institutions collapsed all over Europe, colonial structures gave way to independent states in Asia and Africa, and a new international order had to be created from the vestiges of the old.

When you see your nation's flag fluttering in the breeze, what do you feel? For thousands of years flags have represented our hopes and dreams. We wave them. Burn them. March under their colours. And still, in the 21st century, we die for them. Flags fly at the UN, on the Arab street, from front porches in Texas. They represent the politics of high power as well as the politics of the mob.
