George Kennan for Our Time examines the work and thought of the most distinguished American diplomat of the 20th century and extracts lessons for today. In his writings and lectures, Kennan outlined the proper conduct of foreign policy and issued warnings to an American society on the edge of the abyss. Lee Congdon identifies the principles Kennan applied to US relations with Russia and Eastern Europe, and to the Far and Near East.

On July 22, 2011, Anders Behring Breivik detonated a car bomb in downtown Oslo, Norway. He didn't stop there, traveling several hours from the city to ambush a youth camp while the rest of Norway was distracted by his earlier attack. The evidence suggests a startling truth: that this was the work of one man, pursuing a mission he was convinced was just. As George Michael demonstrates in Lone Wolf Terror and the Rise of Leaderless Resistance, they are not isolated cases. Rather, they represent the new way warfare will be conducted in the twenty-first century.

An international group of experts confronts challenges to peace and conflict diplomacy—defined as the effort to manage others' conflicts, cope with great power competition, and deal with threats to the state system itself. They consider three potential scenarios for world order where key states decide to go it alone, return to a liberal order, or collaborate on a case-by-case basis to address common problems. These three scenarios are then evaluated through the prism of regional perspectives from around the world and for their potential ramifications for major security threats.

Die bekannte ZDF-Korrespondentin Katrin Eigendorf berichtet seit vielen Jahren regelmäßig aus der Ukraine. So auch während der dramatischen Tage und Wochen nach dem 24. Februar 2022, als Wladimir Putin mit seinem grausamen Angriff auf die Ukraine den Krieg zurück nach Europa getragen hat. Angesichts der Bilder aus Mariupol, Charkiw und Kyiw ist auch Deutschland aufgewacht, nachdem es über viele Jahre Wladimir Putin verharmlost hat. Katrin Eigendorf erzählt hier vom Krieg, den Putin mit aller Härte führt, vor allem gegen die Bevölkerung.

The West's strategy of engagement with China has failed. More than three decades of trade and investment with the advanced democracies have left that country far richer and stronger than it would otherwise have been. But growth and development have not caused China's rulers to relax their grip on political power, abandon their mercantilist economic policies, or accept the rules and norms of the existing international system.

Russland beginnt einen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine, nur wenige Monate zuvor erleben die USA in Afghanistan ein außenpolitisches Debakel, und längst ist der Systemrivale China zur entscheidenden Supermacht aufgestiegen – der Westen steckt in einer nie da gewesenen Krise. Dabei schien der Siegeszug noch vor kurzem unaufhaltsam: Nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges setzte sich im ehemaligen Ostblock die demokratische Marktwirtschaft durch, Russland wurde vom Feind zum Partner, selbst China wandte sich dem Kapitalismus zu.

Poser la question de la transformation écologique de nos sociétés dans une économie globalisée où règne l'idéologie néolibérale, c'est aussi se poser la question de la souveraineté.

Alex Gladstein has a lot to say about Bitcoin, human rights, financial privilege, and personal freedom. In Check Your Financial Privilege, he says it, starting with the fact that anyone born into a reserve currency like the euro, yen, or pound has financial privilege over the 89 percent of the world population born into weaker systems. As CSO of the Human Rights Foundation, Gladstein is uniquely positioned to detail the rise of Bitcoin from cypherpunk dream to the real-life Bitcoin stories happening to real people across the globe.

Susan L. Shirk, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State responsible for China, knows many of today's Chinese rulers personally and has studied them for three decades. She offers invaluable insight into how they think—and what they fear. In this revealing book, you will see the world through the eyes of men like President Hu Jintao and former President Jiang Zemin. We discover a fragile communist regime desperate to survive in a society turned upside down by miraculous economic growth and a stunning new openness to the greater world.

Future War and the Defence of Europe offers a major new analysis of how peace and security can be maintained in Europe: a continent that has suffered two cataclysmic conflicts since 1914. Taking as its starting point the COVID-19 pandemic and way it will inevitably accelerate some key global dynamics already in play, the book goes on to weave history, strategy, policy, and technology into a compelling analytical narrative. It lays out in forensic detail the scale of the challenge Europeans and their allies face if Europe's peace is to be upheld in a transformative century.

Before Russia invaded Ukraine, it invaded Georgia. Both states are part of Russia's "near abroad"—newly independent states that were once part of the Soviet Union. While the Russia-Georgia war of 2008 faded from the headlines in the wake of the global recession, the geopolitical contest that created it did not. Six years later, the specter of a revanchist Russia returned when Putin's forces invaded and annexed the Crimean peninsula. Eminent political geographer Gerard Toal moves beyond the polemical rhetoric to study the underlying territorial conflicts and geopolitical struggles.

This book presents the historical and theoretical milestones that have shaped modern global politics—and thus the world. It is both a great primer and a manual of fresh insights into the internal and international struggles of world leaders, raising awareness about the power dynamics and limitations of countries. We, citizens of a country, have the ability not only to design our own life but also to shape the world we live in. Who do we want to become as a nation? Answering this question requires a deeper understanding of our options—politically speaking.

L'eredità della crisi che ha sconvolto l'economia globale a partire dal 2008 è stata pesante: crescita inadeguata, disoccupazione, disuguaglianze nella distribuzione dei redditi, crollo degli investimenti pubblici. Le contromisure adottate dai governi sono state nel complesso inefficaci. Si è evitata l'implosione del sistema finanziario, ma si sono sottovalutate sia la natura strutturale della crisi, sia le gravi conseguenze sociali e politiche che essa avrebbe provocato.

Para aquellos que vivimos en su día la caída del Muro de Berlín y el colapso de la Unión Soviética, la situación actual nos plantea un enigma sorprendente: ¿cómo es posible que el mundo occidental, que había salido victorioso de la Guerra Fría, haya terminado perdiendo la partida ante las fuerzas antidemocráticas, tanto internas como externas? ¿Cómo es posible que la propia democracia liberal esté dando cada vez más muestras de colapso en Occidente, mientras en el resto del planeta resurgen con fuerza los totalitarismos que creíamos derrotados?

La globalizzazione è il concetto più impiegato per caratterizzare l'epoca in cui viviamo; essa è, per così dire, la quintessenza della contemporaneità. Ma le sue radici affondano addirittura nel Medioevo, e i processi che hanno portato alla condizione odierna sono attivi da tempo, da ben prima che il concetto di globalizzazione venisse coniato, e sono l'espansione europea, il sorgere di un'economia mondiale, la connessione dei continenti attraverso le emigrazioni di massa, l'allargamennto planetario delle relazioni internazionali, e la formazione di una cultura cosmopolita.

La visión sobre China de una de las grandes figuras de la política internacional en la segunda mitad del siglo XX y Premio Nobel de la Paz.

An economic and military superpower with twenty percent of the world's population, China has the wherewithal to transform the international system. Xi Jinping's bold calls for China to "lead in the reform of the global governance system" suggest that he has just such an ambition. But how does he plan to realize it? And what does it mean for the rest of the world? In this compelling book, Elizabeth Economy reveals China's ambitious new strategy to reclaim the country's past glory and reshape the geostrategic landscape in dramatic new ways.

Cosa si prova a salvare vite nel Mediterraneo? Per capirlo puoi solo salire a bordo. "Nel Mediterraneo la vita la cerchi, la perdi o la trovi, e questa riduzione all'essenziale è potentissima. Senza orpelli, senza scappatoie, ti lascia a nudo confronto con una nuda alternativa, ti spoglia come l'acqua. Ma la chiave per capirlo non è il sentimento della morte. È il sentimento della vita". In questi anni, le navi delle Ong che soccorrono i migranti sono state al centro di polemiche e narrazioni ostili. Ma pochi conoscono quello che succede davvero a bordo.

A sobering and fascinating study on war in the modern era, Unrestricted Warfare carefully explores strategies that militarily and politically disadvantaged nations might take in order to successfully attack a geopolitical super-power like the United States. American military doctrine is typically led by technology; a new class of weapon or vehicle is developed, which allows or encourages an adjustment in strategy. Military strategists Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui argue that this dynamic is a crucial weakness in the American military.
