In June 2024, after 14 years of house arrest and incarceration, Julian Assange, the Australian journalist the CIA had planned to kidnap or kill, was finally released from the UK's top security Belmarsh prison. Years of campaigning by his family and Australian politicians from across the political spectrum had finally paid off – Assange's plea bargain with the US Department of Justice produced the legal deal of the century. Instead of serving a possible 175-year jail sentence, Assange walked free...

La violencia vino del Norte revela el factor decisivo detrás de la catástrofe que desde 2007 padece México: la política armamentística de Estados Unidos. Sin el acceso masivo a esos arsenales, la masacre y la corrupción nunca habrían alcanzado la escala actual.

For the past thirty years, post-Cold War triumphalism and a desire to reshape the world have defined United States foreign policy. But the failures of the global war on terror, the return of conflict to Europe, and growing tensions with China all suggest that this approach to the world is flawed. For the United States—the country that has ruled the international system largely alone since 1991—this moment is particularly perilous.

Her research team at Tufts and this global network of aid workers give her firsthand knowledge of the impact of forced migration on cities and the lives of refugees living there.

British leaders use spies and Special Forces to interfere in the affairs of others discreetly and deniably. Since 1945, MI6 has spread misinformation designed to divide and discredit targets. It has instigated whispering campaigns and planted false evidence on officials working behind the Iron Curtain, tried to foment revolution in Albania, blown up ships to prevent the passage of refugees to Israel, and secretly funneled aid to insurgents in Afghanistan and dissidents in Poland. Through bribery and blackmail, Britain has rigged elections as colonies moved to independence.

When states die, there are massive consequences. Somalia's death in 1991 created a safe haven for criminal non-state actors and has unsettled the Horn of Africa for decades. When the Iraqi state was dismantled in 2003, a similar set of consequences plagued the Middle East and the international system more broadly. In How States Die, Douglas Lemke provides an analysis of this phenomenon by reconceptualizing the definitions of the state and state death. A state exists, according to Lemke, whenever a set of state-like political entities exercise control over a populated territory.

How do separatist conflicts arise and spread? When does separatism become a cover for a foreign aggression? How do local communities respond when state institutions collapse, and militants take over? The armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine, which started eight years before Russia's full-scale invasion, contains unique evidence to address each of these questions.

This book presents a comprehensive and pragmatic blueprint for resolving the Ukraine-Russia conflict and achieving lasting peace in the region. At its core is a six-part formula: an immediate ceasefire; deployment of UN peacekeeping forces in occupied territories; a UN-organized referendum to let local populations decide their political future; total withdrawal of Russian and Ukrainian forces from contested regions before the vote; binding commitments from both Putin and Zelensky to honor the results; and a formal pledge from Ukraine not to join NATO, addressing Russia's key security concern.

World politics has changed, claims Bruno Maçães. Geopolitics is no longer simply a contest to control territory: in this age of advanced technology, it has become a contest to create the territory. Great powers seek to build a world for other states to inhabit, while keeping the ability to change the rules or the state of the world when necessary. At a moment when the old concepts no longer work, this book aims to introduce a radically new theory of world politics and technology.
