This audiobook examines a very important period of recent American foreign international relations history. The post-Cold War period, 1989-2004, is scrutinized very closely with several key questions in mind. What has been gained by the US by “winning” the Cold War? First and foremost, many people - besides Americans - and quite possibly the academic world, the young, and the elderly, may be wondering what the answer to this question really is or if there even is an answer.

What moral values do human beings hold in common? As globalization draws us together economically, are our values converging or diverging? In particular, are human rights becoming a global ethic? These were the questions that led Michael Ignatieff to embark on a three-year, eight-nation journey in search of answers. The Ordinary Virtues presents Ignatieff's discoveries and his interpretation of what globalization - and resistance to it - is doing to our conscience and our moral understanding.

Im Zeitalter der Globalisierung diktieren die Industrieländer vielen Entwicklungsländern die Wirtschaftspolitik - mit negativen Resultaten. Dass die Bilanz der Entwicklungsländer nicht allzu schlecht ausfällt, ist Ländern wie Indien, China oder Südkorea zu verdanken - gerade weil sie sich dem wirtschaftspolitischen Diktat Washingtons nicht unterwerfen mussten. Niggli warnt vor der Illusion, man könne die wirtschaftliche Globalisierung durch soziale und ökologische Leitplanken zivilisieren. Demokratie und Selbstbestimmung sind mit voller ökonomischer Integration aller Länder nicht vereinbar.

Maverick environmental writers William J. Kelly and Chip Jacobs follow up their acclaimed Smogtown with a provocative examination of China’s ecological calamity already imperiling a warming planet. Toxic smog most people figured was obsolete needlessly kills as many there as the 9/11 attacks every day, while sometimes Grand Canyon-sized drifts of industrial particles aloft on the winds rain down ozone and waterway-poisoning mercury in America. Vivid, gonzo prose blends first-person reportage with exhaustive research and a sense of karma, describing the horror of "Cancer Villages", spellbinding "peasant revolts" against cancer-spreading plants, and much more....

Though mankind has traded tangible goods for millennia, recent technology has changed the fundamentals of trade, in both legitimate and illegal economies. In the past three decades, the most advanced forms of illicit trade have broken with all historical precedents and, as Dark Commerce tells, now operate as if on steroids, tied to computers and social media. Author Louise Shelley examines how new technology, communications, and globalization fuel the exponential growth of dangerous forms of illegal trade and considers diverse ways of responding to this increasing challenge.

Digitalisierung ist wichtig und alle machen mit. Doch in der Praxis bleiben die Ergebnisse weit hinter den Erwartungen zurück.

Er liefert zu Situationen des geschäftlichen Alltags ganz konkrete Maßnahmen, mit denen Führungskräfte ihre Belegschaft in Bewegung bringen.

One World Now seamlessly integrates major developments of the past decade into Peter Singer's classic text on the ethics of globalization, One World. Singer, often described as the world's most influential philosopher, here addresses such essential concerns as climate change, economic globalization, foreign aid, human rights, immigration, and the responsibility to protect people from genocide and crimes against humanity, whatever country they may be in. Every issue is considered from an ethical perspective.

Trump in America, Brexit in the UK, anti-EU parties in Italy, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, and Hungary, and nativist or authoritarian leaders in Turkey, Russia, India, and China - why has nationalism suddenly returned with a vengeance? Is the world headed back to the fractious conflicts between nations that led to world wars and depression in the early 20th Century? Why are nationalists so angry about free trade and immigration? Why has globalization become a dirty word?

America's war on Syria has drawn international attention worldwide and has brought this nation a lot of backlash. Are we being lied to?

You will learn there is more to these historical events than meets the eye.

Nestlé, die weltweite Nummer 1 im Lebensmittelsektor, ist das Musterbeispiel eines Weltkonzerns. Er pflegt das Image eines qualitätsbewussten Unternehmens, das gute Arbeitsbedingungen bietet und mit seiner Politik den Armen dieser Welt entgegenkommt. Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Buches, die sich als globalisierungskritisch verstehen, beschreiben die Realität hinter der schönen Marketingfassade: Während Nestlé enorme Gewinne einstreicht, wird der Konzern von Gewerkschaften in aller Welt beschuldigt, das Arbeitsrecht der Mitarbeitenden mit Füßen zu treten.

After years of ill health, capitalism is now in a critical condition. Growth has given way to stagnation; inequality is leading to instability; and confidence in the money economy has all but evaporated. In How Will Capitalism End?, the acclaimed analyst of contemporary politics and economics Wolfgang Streeck argues the world is about to change.

Im mexikanischen Grenzland zu den USA ist sauberes Trinkwasser so knapp, dass Mütter ihren Babys zum Trinken Coca-Cola und Pepsi geben - das Problem der Wasserverknappung betrifft immer mehr Menschen direkt und breitet sich in rasantem Tempo auf der ganzen Erde aus. Das "blaue Gold" wird in seiner Bedeutung als Rohstoff dem Erdöl bald den Rang ablaufen, bereits heute stehen hinter vielen so genannten ethnischen oder religiösen Konflikten Kämpfe um die Nutzung der knappen Wasserressourcen.

En su trabajo más ambicioso hasta la fecha, Thomas L. Friedman muestra los movimientos tectónicos que demuestran que hemos entrado en una era de aceleración vertiginosa - y explica cómo vivir en ella. Tres son las fuerzas aceleradoras que están cambiando nuestro planeta: la ley de Moore (tecnología), el mercado (globalización) y la madre naturaleza (cambio climático y biodiversidad). Estos aceleradores están cambiando cinco reinos clave: el lugar de trabajo, la política, la geopolítica, la ética, y la comunidad.

In the first intellectual history of neoliberal globalism, author Quinn Slobodian follows a group of thinkers from the ashes of the Habsburg Empire to the creation of the World Trade Organization to show that neoliberalism emerged less to shrink government and abolish regulations than to redeploy them at a global level.

Executives can no longer base their strategies on the assumption that globalization will continue to advance steadily. But how should they respond to the growing pressures against globalization? And what can businesses do to control their destinies in these times of uncertainty? In The New Global Road Map, Pankaj Ghemawat separates fact from fiction by giving listeners a better understanding of the key trends affecting global business.

Penguin Audio presents Has the West Lost It? by Kishore Mahbubani, read by Jonathan Keeble. The West's centuries-old status as the centre of global wealth and power is coming to an end. As the new powers - China and India from Asia and others from Africa and Latin America - rise to the top of the world's pecking order, how should the West react?

Structured around the 40 questions Luiselli translates and asks undocumented Latin American children facing deportation, Tell Me How It Ends (an expansion of her 2016 Freeman's essay of the same name) humanizes these young migrants and highlights the contradiction between the idea of America as a fiction for immigrants and the reality of racism and fear - both here and back home.

In Straight Talk on Trade, Dani Rodrik, an early and outspoken critic of economic globalization taken too far, goes beyond the populist backlash and offers a more reasoned explanation for why our elites' and technocrats' obsession with hyper-globalization made it more difficult for nations to achieve legitimate economic and social objectives at home: economic prosperity, financial stability, and equity.

Sixty percent of humanity - some four-point-three billion people - live in debilitating poverty. The standard development narrative suggests that alleviating poverty in poor countries is a matter of getting the internal policies right, combined with aid from rich countries. But anthropologist Jason Hickel argues that this approach misses the broader political forces at play. Global poverty - and the growing divide between "developing" and "developed" countries - has to do with how the global economy has been designed over the course of 500 years. Global inequality doesn't just exist; it has been created.

Based on the groundbreaking research of respected historian Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope 101 reveals an unimaginably devious political system, skillfully manipulated by a handful of elite, which is undermining freedom and democracy as we know it. The goal of those who control the system, in Quigley's own words, is to dominate "all habitable portions of the world." Using deception, theft, and violence, they have achieved more toward this goal than any rulers in human history. However, the Information Age is quickly derailing their plans. The immorality of their system has become nearly impossible to hide.
