"A world-class intellectual. . . . [Colin Woodard’s] research can help Americans rediscover their common identity in spite of all the attempts to divide them." —Garry Kasparov "A powerful paradigm for understanding the defining hot button issues of contemporary America and the action we can...

Using granular data and authoritative Chinese sources, Oriana Skylar Mastro demonstrates that China was able to climb to great power status through a careful mix of strategic emulation, exploitation, and entrepreneurship on the international stage. This “upstart approach”—determined by where and how China chose to compete—allowed China to rise economically, politically, and militarily, without triggering a catastrophic international backlash that would stem its rise.

**Something has gone seriously wrong with the American economy. ** The American economy has experienced considerable growth in the last 30 years. But virtually none of this growth has trickled down to the average American. Incomes have been flat since 1985. Inequality has grown, and social...

Steven A. Cook charts the course of the United States' encounter with the Middle East from the mid-twentieth century through the present day. Looking back, Cook makes a bold claim: the US was—despite setbacks and moral costs—successful. That record of achievement began to unravel in the early 1990s when policymakers embarked upon a set of overly ambitious policies to remake the Middle East. Cook highlights that calls to withdraw from the region are rash given the important interests the US maintains in the region.

They told you fascism could never happen here. They told you America was the “land of the free.” But while you were distracted by partisan shouting matches, the real chains were being fastened—quietly, incrementally, and with bipartisan approval.

This book examines how authority in the United States is organized, how it shifted over time, and why the system now feels unstable and adversarial regardless of which party holds power. It is not about elections or candidates. It is an examination of how the system itself works and how it drifted away from the balance it was designed to maintain. At its core, the book focuses on federalism.

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.

Late Fascism turns to theories of fascism produced in the past century, testing their capacity to illuminate our moment and challenging many of the commonplaces that debate on this extremely charged term devolves into. It can be tempting for any contemporary assessment of fascism to reach for historical analogy. Fascism is defined by returns and repetitions, but it is not best approached in terms of steps and checklists dictated by a selective reading of Italian Fascism or National Socialism.

Brought to you by Penguin. War and power are two of the most-widely discussed issues in all of human history, and yet they are, time and again, misunderstood — often disastrously so. Whilst we might think the outcome of war is determined by so-called ‘Great Powers’ who dominate their...

AI and robotics, by their very nature, disrupt the foundations of capitalism, which relies on scarcity economics. These technologies promise abundance, challenging various forms of capitalism, including the free market, crony, and state-controlled models like that of China. They also undermine corrupt governments and censorship by decentralizing knowledge and empowering individuals. As this disruption unfolds, the world must engage in meaningful debate to address its implications.

Questo libro affronta le questioni più tragiche e attuali della politica internazionale, dal bombardamento di Gaza alla guerra tra Iran e Israele. Il primo capitolo ricostruisce il dibattito sul genocidio a Gaza. Il secondo capitolo espone la tesi dell'autore attraverso il «paradosso della violenza estrema», secondo cui il genocidio può avvenire anche senza spargimento di sangue. Il terzo capitolo analizza le decisioni politicamente più rilevanti di Giorgia Meloni verso Gaza nei giorni dello sterminio dei palestinesi.

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...

El 2 de junio de 2018 Nadia Calviño recibió una llamada inesperada que abrió un nuevo rumbo en la exitosa trayectoria profesional que la había llevado a uno de los puestos directivos más relevantes de la Unión Europea.

The intellectual foundation established by the Kalkiism Research Center in Nepal, composed of a team of 50 leading economists and 50 top medical professionals, has strongly advocated for free health care for all citizens in Nepal. Interestingly, this appears to be merely a byproduct of a cashless economy where all banks are owned by the government. Another byproduct is the eradication of the inhumane dowry system, which has long dehumanized half the population. A third benefit is the elimination of corruption.
