The viruses keep coming, the climate is warming, and the Earth is rewilding. Our human family has no playbook to address the mayhem unfolding around us. If there is a change to reckon with, argues the renowned economic and social theorist Jeremy Rifkin, it’s that we are beginning to realize that the human race never had dominion over the Earth and that nature is far more formidable than we thought, while our species seems much smaller and less significant in the bigger picture of life on Earth, undermining our long-cherished worldview.

License to Travel exposes the passport as both an instrument of personal freedom and a tool of government surveillance powerful enough to define our very humanity. Patrick Bixby examines the passports of artists and intellectuals, ancient messengers and modern migrants to reveal how these seemingly humble documents implicate us in larger narratives about identity, mobility, citizenship, and state authority.

Quale ruolo giocano nell'economia i poteri pubblici, come gli Stati, l'Unione Europea, gli organismi internazionali? In quale misura e con quali esiti regolano i mercati nell'attuale fase di sviluppo della globalizzazione? Una fase in cui -secondo diversi economisti, sociologi, giuristi - sono soprattutto le grandi imprese multinazionali a porre le regole degli scambi, mentre i pubblici poteri restano dietro le quinte o producono norme deboli.

L'irresistibile ascesa di un ragazzo italiano diventato uno dei manager più potenti d'America, prima di prendere il timone della Fiat e cambiare per sempre il capitalismo industriale del nostro paese. È la storia di uno studente di Genova - compagno di scuola di Paolo Villaggio e oggetto delle sue prime, sferzanti battute - che diventa vice chairman della General Electric, una delle più potenti aziende americane.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ancient Futures is a lyrical and moving portrait of tradition and change in Ladakh, or “Little Tibet", as it was once known. The book is also an engaging critique of the global economy and a call for economic localization. When author Helena Norberg-Hodge first arrived in Ladakh in the 1970s, she found a pristine environment and a people who exhibited remarkable vitality and joy. Not long after, came economic growth and development, and Norberg-Hodge watched how a whole range of problems began to appear for the first time.

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.

To trace the evolution of the American state, Aaron Good takes a deep-politics approach. The term “deep state” was badly misappropriated during the Trump era. In the simplest sense, it here refers to all those institutions that collectively exercise undemocratic power over state and society. To trace how we arrived at this point, American Exception explores various deep state institutions and history-making interventions.

Sabrina Mahfouz once sat in a Whitehall interview room and was interrogated about everything from her political leanings to her private life. It was ostensibly a job interview, but implicit in their demands was the unspoken question: as a woman of Middle Eastern heritage, could she really be trusted? Years later, Sabrina found herself confronting the meaning behind this interrogation, and how it was specifically informed by the British Empire's historical dominance in the Middle East.

Imagine being physically denied access to your office, business, or livelihood. Imagine being refused entry to a grocery store or being told who you can or cannot sit with at a restaurant. Imagine being barred from a hospital room when you or your family member needs critical care. Unthinkable? Today, these scenarios and worse are happening in “democracies” all over the world, and could be our collective future—orchestrated by AI, Big Tech, and state-sponsored apps—all in the name of “protecting” public health with vaccine passports.

Trump, la Brexit, i risultati delle elezioni in molti paesi europei, la Turchia di Erdogan, l'India di Modi: prendono forza a livello globale tendenze che paiono sancire il divorzio fra la democrazia e i principi liberali che l'hanno innervata, soprattutto in Occidente. Eppure viviamo in un mondo che non vede affatto, come si crede, un peggioramento socioeconomico o un aumento delle diseguaglianze.

En el marco de la globalización actual, se multiplican las variables que es necesario manejar para entender el orden establecido. Por esta razón, el especialista en política internacional Mariano Turzi traza en este libro un mapa para entender el mapa. El camino que propone recorre primero las teorías de análisis y pasea luego por el concepto de Estado-nación, que desarma y vuelve a armar para que podamos asimilar sin dificultad sus componentes.

Kojo Koram traces the tale of how, after the end of the British empire, an interconnected group of well-heeled British intellectuals, politicians, accountants and lawyers offshored their capital, seized assets and saddled debt in former 'dependencies'. This enabled horrific inequality across the globe, as ruthless capitalists profited and ordinary people across Britain's former territories in colonial Africa, Asia and the Caribbean were trapped in poverty.

America Second exposes a deep network of Beijing’s influence in America, built quietly over the years through prominent figures like former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright, Disney Chairman Bob Iger, and members of the Bush family. And it shows how to fight that influence - without being paranoid, xenophobic, or racist.

La gestione della pandemia di Covid-19 lascerà un'impronta minacciosa e duratura sul futuro dell'umanità, al di là degli aspetti sanitari. In questo libro Diego Fusaro, filosofo del "pensare altrimenti" e celebre voce fuori dal coro nel dibattito italiano, mostra come l'emergenza sia diventata un vero e proprio metodo di governo. Il potere sfrutta la paura del contagio per ristrutturare in senso oligarchico e autoritario tanto la società quanto l'economia e la politica. Mentre diritti e libertà fondamentali vengono sospesi.
