Former political advisor Giuliano da Empoli takes us on an insider's journey through this new geopolitical reality, from the Glass Palace of the UN to the Riyadh Ritz-Carlton, from top secret meetings to violent power struggles. Just as in the age of the Borgias or the conquistadors, cynical scheming and brute force increasingly determine the course of international affairs.

Überall in Europa und mit Trump auch in den USA gewinnen Rechtspopulisten massiv an Unterstützung und gefährden die liberale Demokratie. Ihr Ziel ist die schrittweise Aushöhlung der demokratischen Institutionen, um ihre eigene Agenda durchzusetzen: gegen Migration, gegen die EU, gegen die vermeintlichen »Eliten«, für einen autoritär regierten Nationalstaat, in dem die freiheitliche Rechtsordnung zunehmend ausgehebelt wird. Ihre augenöffnende Recherche zeigt unter einem Brennglas, welcher Gefahr Deutschland gegenübersteht.

Ele se chama Antonio Carlos de Almeida Castro, mas é conhecido como Kakay e assim se apresenta, assim assina seus artigos, assim é identificado em suas entrevistas na televisão, assim é apontado por onde anda, Brasília, São Paulo, Rio, Lisboa ou Paris. Não é o maior e mais rico superadvogado brasileiro, mas é o mais conhecido e, desde os últimos quatro anos, o que mais se notabilizou pela defesa da democracia, no mais trágico momento de nossa História. Kakay não tem vários andares em um prédio, com salas entupidas com 100 ou 200 advogados.

The lifeblood of any free society is persuasion: changing other people’s minds in order to change things. But America is suffering a crisis of faith in persuasion that is putting its democracy and the planet itself at risk. Anand Giridharadas takes us inside these movements and battles, seeking out the dissenters who continue to champion persuasion in an age of polarization. As the book’s subjects grapple with how to call out injustices while calling in those who don’t agree with them but just might one day, they point a way to healing, and changing, a fracturing country.

Since 1946, more than 250 armed conflicts have broken out around the world, a number that continues to rise. Major civil wars are now being fought in countries including Iraq, Syria and Libya. Smaller civil wars are being fought in Ukraine, India and Malaysia. Even countries we thought could never experience another civil war are showing signs of unrest. Acclaimed expert Barbara F. Walter, who has advised on political violence everywhere from the CIA to the US Senate to the United Nations, explains the rise of civil war and the conditions that create it.

In 2014, Francis Fukuyama wrote that American institutions were in decay, as the state was progressively captured by powerful interest groups. Two years later, his predictions were borne out by the rise to power of a series of political outsiders whose economic nationalism and authoritarian tendencies threatened to destabilize the entire international order. These populist nationalists seek direct charismatic connection to “the people”, who are usually defined in narrow identity terms that offer an irresistible call to an in-group and exclude large parts of the population as a whole.

The past is another country, the old saying goes. The same might be said of the future. But which country? For Europeans and Americans today, the answer is Russia.Today's Russia is an oligarchy propped up by illusions and repression. But it also represents the fulfilment of tendencies already present in the West. And if Moscow's drive to dissolve Western states and values succeeds, this could become our reality, too. In this visionary work of contemporary history, Timothy Snyder shows how Russia works within the West to destroy the West.

The President of the United States regularly lies to the public and accuses anyone who criticises him of being fake. Politicians openly rubbish the views of 'so called experts', dissemble and mislead. So how do we hold those in power accountable? Fox News, Breitbart Media and the Murdoch papers peddle views not news, pushing politically motivated agendas. So, where can we look for reliable, verifiable sources of news and information? What does it mean for democracy? And what will the future hold?

The leviathan is the vast unity of the State. But how are unity, peace, and security to be attained? Hobbes’ answer is sovereignty, but the resurgence of interest today in Leviathan is due less to its answers than its methods: Hobbes sees politics as a science capable of the same axiomatic approach as geometry.

Deep new rifts are tearing apart the fabric of Britain and other Western societies: thriving cities versus the provinces, the highly skilled elite versus the less educated, wealthy versus developing countries. As these divides deepen, we have lost the sense of ethical obligation to others that was crucial to the rise of post-war social democracy. So far these rifts have been answered only by the revivalist ideologies of populism and socialism, leading to the seismic upheavals of Trump, Brexit and the return of the far right in Germany.

Liberal democracy is in recession and authoritarianism is on the rise. The ties that ought to bind open markets to free and fair elections are being strained and spurned, even in democracy's notional heartlands. Around the world, powerful voices argue that capitalism is better without democracy; others that democracy is better without capitalism. This book is a forceful rejoinder to both views, offering a deep and lucid assessment of why the marriage between capitalism and democracy has grown so strained and making clear why a divorce would be an almost unthinkable calamity.

In this eloquent challenge to the reigning wisdom on globalization, Dani Rodrik reminds us of the importance of the nation-state, arguing forcefully that when the social arrangements of democracies inevitably clash with the international demands of globalization, national priorities should take precedence. Combining history with insight, humor with good-natured critique, Rodrik’s case for a customizable globalization supported by a light frame of international rules shows the way to a balanced prosperity as we confront today’s global challenges in trade, finance, and labor markets.

Die ewige Schlacht ist ein philosophisch-politisches Hörbuch über die tief verwurzelten Ursachen des Krieges. Es geht nicht nur um Geopolitik oder Armeen, sondern um Denkweisen, Strukturen, ökonomische Interessen und kulturelle Narrative, die seit Jahrhunderten Gewalt ermöglichen – und rechtfertigen. In zwanzig thematisch klar gegliederten Kapiteln führt der Autor Holger Elias die Hörer:innen durch ein breites Panorama der Kriegsursachen.

Is America's future as bright as its past? What's Right With America argues that not only is the answer "Yes," but the nation's most incredible days are yet to come. Despite the challenges and divisions we face, America's true strength lies in its core principles and the resilient spirit of its people.

Nézd a rettenetes huszadik századot! Hogy győztek, hogy diadalmaskodtak a »mindig erős, mert központosított« diktatúrák. Hol vannak ma már? Győzött »a legkisebb királyfi«; győztek a mindig »gyönge«, mindig válsággal küzdő, ezer szempont közt a kompromisszumot kereső individualista demokráciák. Igen, a népmesének igaza van: mindig győz a jó.

Julia Ruhs war stets überzeugt, ganz normale Meinungen zu vertreten – bis sie Journalistin wurde. Sie sprach sich als Volontärin in der ARD gegen das Gendern aus und warnte später in einem Kommentar der "Tagesthemen" vor illegaler Einwanderung. Sie sprach sachlich und mit Bedacht Themen an, die viele Menschen im Lande bewegen. Aber plötzlich war sie eine Exotin im Metier. Die Reaktion war ein linker "Shitstorm", leider Normalität heutzutage. Die Politikjournalistin Julia Ruhs ist Reporterin beim Bayerischen Rundfunk sowie Kolumnistin für Focus Online.

In Shameless, Brian Tyler Cohen lays bare the long con of the modern Republican Party. While the radical right continues hiding behind gaslighting maneuvers, artificial slogans, and hollow catchphrases, Cohen’s unflinching narrative illuminates the realities and dangers of the ever-widening gulf between the vaunted Republican brand and their actual behavior.

Keir Starmer: The Biography is an authoritative study of a man who now stands on the brink of becoming Britain's next Prime Minister. If he succeeds, Starmer will be the first Labour leader in a generation to win power, even though most voters still say they don’t know much about him. It not only tells Starmer’s story but also examines the paradox of a politician often uncomfortable with politics, someone who is both remarkably ordinary and capable of defying all efforts to define him.

This is the authoritative, “deeply reported” (The Wall Street Journal) account of an eighteen-month crisis in American democracy that will be seared into the country’s political memory for decades to come. With stunning, in-the-room detail, New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns show how both our political parties confronted a series of national traumas, including the coronavirus pandemic, the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and the political brinksmanship of President Biden’s first year in the White House.

An epic narrative chronicling the fracturing of the Republican Party, Jeremy Peters’s Insurgency is the story of a party establishment that believed it could control the dark energy it helped foment—right up until it suddenly couldn’t. How, Peters asks, did conservative values that Republicans claimed to cherish, like small government, fiscal responsibility, and morality in public service, get completely eroded as an unshakable faith in Donald Trump grew to define the party?
