Daniel Wagner lived in China during COVID-19 while working at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) as Senior Investment Officer for Guarantees and Syndications in Beijing and in Abu Dhabi as its first-ever secondee, to the COP28 Secretariat as Adaptation Finance Lead. The AIIB is a Chinese created, domiciled, and led multilateral development bank that remains enigmatic to the outside world. As one of the world's two newest MDBs (the other also based in China), the only people who really understand what the Bank is all about and how it functions are its past and present employees.

By daytime, Ukraine is a sophisticated European country going about its business, and Kyiv seems like an enchanting city. But by night, the sirens roar, and the war begins. Ukraine is using the amount of ammunition that all of Europe produces in one day, and yet on the surface, much of the country appears to be going about its business as usual. This is a very different audiobook as this is a very different war – one fought by a huge army of civilians, from old punk rockers to university professors and Coca Cola brand managers who are working behind the scenes to outwit the Russian army.

Drive through rural America and you’ll see small town after small town empty and decaying. As you drive past the abandoned manufacturing plants and shuttered Victorian homes once inhabited by its workers and executives, you can picture what the town was like forty years ago. A thriving community where the company president and assembly line worker went to the same church and whose children went to the same school.

Tariffs are dominating the news cycle worldwide—and for good reason. In 2025, President Donald Trump’s administration took an unprecedented step, imposing sweeping tariffs on imports from some of the world’s largest trading partners: Canada, the EU, China, and beyond. These tariffs have redefined the landscape of global trade and set the stage for a new era of economic confrontation. But what are tariffs, exactly? How do they work, and why is it important to understand them? J. E.

Newspaper headlines and prime-time TV interviews lauded Enrique Peña Nieto after he won Mexico’s 2012 presidential election. Time Magazine front covered him as “The Savior of Mexico.” By the second year of his administration it had become obvious that the savior was a failure. Attempted cover ups failed to conceal an economy based on self-enrichment and the impoverishment of overly 40 percent of the population and the disappearance of forty-three young student protesters. Peña Nieto’s wobbly status became even more fragile when he encountered US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

In January 2023 the largest land access demonstration since the 1930s took place on a bright wintery morning on Dartmoor. Those who spearheaded the protest want open access to every acre of rural Britain. They claim that access helps nature by allowing the public to hold landowners and farmers to account and they claim it will have no effect on wildlife. But where does the truth actually lie? Is access to the countryside quite as restricted as we are led to believe and are all of those farmers, conservationists and landowners who worry about public access simply misguided?

Une plongée dans l'univers captivant du renseignement français ! James Bond, Malotru, Jason Bourne, Eli Cohen, Mata Hari, Joséphine Baker... qu'elles soient fictives ou réelles, les grandes figures de l'espionnage nous fascinent et sont au cœur de nombreux fantasmes (assassins missionnés secrètement par un État, confidences récoltées sur l'oreiller par des courtisanes héroïques, costumes et gadgets plus créatifs les uns que les autres, légende et double-identité...). Mais quelle est la réalité derrière cet imaginaire ?

Every spring during the Qingming Festival, people return to their home villages in China to sweep the tombs of their ancestors, making offerings of food and incense to prevent them from becoming hungry ghosts that could cause misfortune. Yet for the past century, a time ruptured by war and revolution, many tombs have been left unattended. Following a record year of wildfires, Alice Mah returns to her family’s rice village in South China, and discovers that her ancestors are almost forgotten, and there are no tombs left to sweep. Instead, there are incalculable clan debts to be paid.

In How Wars End, conflict analyst and former UN weapons inspector Jan Van Aken draws on the history of conflict resolution to present practical, evidence-based strategies for peace. He asks: what can we learn from previous wars, what tools enable hostile actors to talk to each other, and which conditions make peaceful solutions possible? Van Aken skillfully interweaves the latest findings from peace research with stories and examples from Northern Ireland to Serbia, South Sudan to Afghanistan, Vietnam to Syria.

In Global Tech Wars, Financial Times’ veteran journalist James Kynge delivers a gripping analysis of China’s rapid technological ascent. No longer confined to low-end goods, China is now leading in cutting-edge industries: artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, surveillance technology, robotics, and more. Big Western corporations are facing multiple disruptive shocks. What does this mean for the future? Will China’s technological leadership translate into global geopolitical dominance?

On August 15, 2021, the world watched in horror as Kabul fell to the Taliban without a fight—erasing 20 years of blood, sweat, and sacrifice in a matter of hours. The sight of Taliban fighters posing in the abandoned U.S. embassy and driving U.S. military Humvees through the streets was a humiliation of historic proportions. How did this happen? How did the United States, the world’s greatest military power, leave Afghanistan in such a disgraceful, chaotic, and deadly manner?

A muchos les parece evidente la incapacidad de esta administración de conformar un programa de gobierno viable, la cortedad de su agenda, la politización de todas las decisiones públicas, la consecuente polarización y la falta de habilidad técnica de no pocos de sus cuadros. Sin embargo, la oposición tampoco ha logrado reconstruirse para recuperar su credibilidad y se prevé como altamente probable un segundo mandato de la coalición gobernante.
