In his most ambitious work to date, Thomas L. Friedman shows that we have entered an age of dizzying acceleration - and explains how to live in it. Due to an exponential increase in computing power, climbers atop Mount Everest enjoy excellent cell phone service, and self-driving cars are taking to the roads. A parallel explosion of economic interdependency has created new riches as well as spiraling debt burdens.

As a boy, Robert D. Kaplan listened to his truck-driver father's evocative stories about traveling across America as a young man, travels in which he learned to understand the country from a ground-level perspective. In Earning the Rockies, Kaplan undertakes his own cross-country journey to recapture an appreciation and understanding of American geography that is often lost in the jet age.

In the past five years, Israel has mounted three major assaults on the 1.8 million Palestinians trapped behind its blockade of the Gaza Strip. Taken together, Operation Cast Lead (2008-9), Operation Pillar of Defense (2012), and Operation Protective Edge (2014) have resulted in the deaths of some 3,700 Palestinians. Meanwhile a total of 90 Israelis were killed in the invasions. On the face of it, this succession of vastly disproportionate attacks has often seemed frenzied and pathological.

Russia and China are increasingly revisionist in their regions. The Middle East appears to be unraveling. And many Americans question why the United States ought to lead. What will great power competition look like in the decades ahead? What impact will geopolitics have on globalization? And what strategy should the United States pursue to succeed in an increasingly competitive world? In this book, Thomas Wright explains how major powers will compete fiercely even as they try to avoid war with each other.

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?

Internationally renowned political commentator Noam Chomsky examines America's pursuit and exercise of power in a post-9/11 world. Noam Chomsky is the world's foremost intellectual activist. Over the last half century, no one has done more to question the great global powers who govern our lives, forensically scrutinizing policies and actions, calling our politicians, institutions and media to account. The culmination of years of work, Who Rules the World? is Chomsky's definitive intellectual investigation into the major issues of our times.

L'Europa va in frantumi e la Germania è destinata a essere confinata all'angolo dopo la rottura con il Regno Unito, proprio nel tempo in cui gli Stati Uniti di Trump si riavvicinano alla Russia, e tramite essa, al Medio Oriente, alla Turchia, agli Stati Arabi del Golfo e, lo si voglia o no, all'Iran, con cui far pace potrebbe essere solo una questione di tempo.

Negli ultimi decenni abbiamo più volte sentito dire che il mondo "non sarà mai più lo stesso". È accaduto all'indomani dell'11 settembre, dopo la recessione del 2008-2009 e la crisi dei rifugiati nel 2015. Tuttavia le cose cambiano non perché ci sia una volontà di cambiamento, ma "perché non si può tornare indietro". Mentre trascorreva il lockdown nella sua nativa campagna bulgara, Ivan Krastev, politologo e opinionista del New York Times, ha cominciato a interrogarsi sugli effetti della pandemia da Covid-19 e su come sarebbe cambiato il futuro.

Ein interessanter Einblick in die Zusammenhänge zwischen Erdöl und Politik!Über mehrere Jahre hinweg haben die Journalisten Thomas Seifert und Klaus Werner recherchiert, welchen Einfluss die Öl-Lobby in der Welt hat. Der Ölpreis steigt immer weiter, und in der westlichen Welt, sowie in China, wird auch der Energieverbrauch immer höher.

Ein spannender Einblick in die Situation Russlands! Die einstige Supermacht Russland und ihre heutige Position in der Welt ist etwas, was als Thema oft vernachlässigt wird, dabei ist sie doch ein unverzichtbarer Partner des Westens. Um ein besonders gutes Gespür für die politische Situation in Russland und die möglicherweise damit zusammenhängenden Krisenherde zu bekommen, hat Autor Peter Scholl-Latour die verschiedenen Grenzregionen Russlands bereist und festgestellt: das Land befindet sich in einem Zangengriff.

Hoy, la subida del nivel del mar es una causa de alarma generalizada entre aquellos que ya han abandonado el sueño pernicioso de que el calentamiento global es un mito. Sin embargo, no es ni siquiera la punta del gigantesco iceberg de horrores inimaginables que amenazan la vida en la Tierra: incendios, huracanes, sequías, inundaciones...

Gefährlicher Drache statt gemütlicher Panda: Mit welchen Strategien China die Welt erobert. Chinas Aufstieg zur Weltmacht ist unaufhaltsam. Lange erwartete man, dass sich das Land mit zunehmendem Wohlstand demokratisieren würde. Doch das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Die Kommunistische Partei Chinas will sich mit allen Mitteln an der Macht halten. Dafür werden Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft im eigenen Land auf Linie gebracht und ein weitreichendes Programm wurde entwickelt, mit dem China die westlichen Demokratien unterwandert und eine neue Weltordnung etablieren will.

Zwei Jahrzehnte ist das 21. Jahrhundert jetzt alt, und die Konturen einer neuen Welt(un)ordnung werden immer deutlicher erkennbar: der Aufstieg Chinas, die Verlagerung der weltpolitischen Achse hin zum Pazifik, eine zunehmend konfuse Weltmacht USA, die in den Nationalismus zurückfällt, eine frustrierte Nuklearmacht Russland, ein stagnierendes Europa... Seit dem Abstieg der USA als globale Ordnungsmacht nach 1989 gibt es eine gefährliche neue Rivalität nuklearer Weltmächte, die jederzeit eskalieren kann: Korea, Hongkong, Kaschmir, Iran, Jemen, Syrien, Ukraine.

Pro Jahr mehr als 1.500 Kilometer neue Gleise für Hochgeschwindigkeitszüge, über ein Dutzend neue Wolkenkratzer allein in Shenzhen und mindestens 1,38 Millionen neue Patente: Chinas Diktatur treibt eine hocheffiziente Wirtschaft an. Sie baut einen digitalen Überwachungsapparat auf, wie ihn die Welt noch nicht gesehen hat, und dehnt im Stil einer neuen Kolonialmacht ihren Einfluss aus - ob in Afrika, bei der neuen Seidenstraße oder durch Investitionen in Griechenland oder Portugal, für die im Gegenzug Linientreue bei EU-Resolutionen gezeigt werden muss.

Unser Bild von China ist verzerrt und unterbelichtet. Wolfram Elsner öffnet die Augen und plädiert für einen offenen Dialog mit der Weltmacht Nummer 1. China ist in aller Munde. Zu recht! Denn China ist die neue Nummer 1, die wirtschaftlich, technologisch, ökologisch und auch sozial(!) tonangebende, führende Nation des 21. Jahrhunderts. Es hat einen in kürzester Zeit den Aufstieg von einem der ärmsten Entwicklungsländer zu einem Land mit mittlerem Pro-Kopf-Einkommen gemeistert, der bisher einzigartig in der Welt ist.

Kai-Fu Lee: China, USA und die künstliche Intelligenz. Wer wissen will, wie sich in der Welt die Gewichte verschieben, muss sich die Künstliche-Intelligenz-Industrie (AI-Industrie) anschauen. Kai-Fu Lee, Ex-Google-China-CEO, milliardenschwerer Start-up-Investor und einer der weltweit renommiertesten AI-Experten, bietet in seinem Buch erstmals die chinesisch-amerikanische Perspektive. Er berichtet aus erster Hand: wie die Business-Kulturen aufeinanderprallen, warum die Silicon-Valley- Strategien in China scheitern mussten, wie ein chinesisches Google (Baidu).

Wie wird die Welt nach dem Virus aussehen? Einer der wichtigsten Intellektuellen der Gegenwart gibt Orientierung in Zeiten der Ungewissheit. Welche Folgen hat die Corona-Krise für unsere Demokratie?

Dapprima ignorati, poi osteggiati, quindi accolti come benefattori del capitalismo finanziario barcollante, infine colpiti da pesanti perdite nella crisi finanziaria internazionale: i fondi sovrani sono saliti alla ribalta dell'opinione pubblica con investimenti eclatanti in aziende degli Stati Uniti e dell'Unione Europea. I paesi del Golfo, Singapore, Cina, Libia, Russia, nonché la Norvegia, grazie ai loro ingenti surplus energetici e commerciali, sono i principali protagonisti di questo scenario. Come nascono i fondi sovrani? Quali sono le loro strategie di investimento?

Als außenpolitischer Berater Helmut Kohls und langjähriger Vorsitzender der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz überblickt Horst Teltschik die internationale Politik der letzten Jahrzehnte wie nur wenige andere. In seinem Audiobuch zeigt er, wie die Chancen von 1989/90 auf eine stabile internationale Friedensordnung verspielt wurden und warum die heutige Konfrontation zwischen NATO und Russland durch eine neue Entspannungspolitik entschärft werden muss.

In 2010, the words “earthquake swarm” entered the lexicon in Oklahoma. That same year, a trove of Michael Jackson memorabilia—including his iconic crystal-encrusted white glove—was sold at auction for over $1 million to a guy who was, officially, just the lowly forestry minister of the tiny nation of Equatorial Guinea. And in 2014, Ukrainian revolutionaries raided the palace of their ousted president and found a zoo of peacocks, gilded toilets, and a floating restaurant modeled after a Spanish galleon.

Larry Diamond has made it his life's work to secure democracy's future by understanding its past and by advising dissidents fighting autocracy around the world. Ill Winds' core argument is stark: the defense and advancement of democratic ideals relies on US global leadership. If we do not reclaim our traditional place as the keystone of democracy, today's authoritarian swell could become a tsunami, providing an opening for Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and their admirers to turn the 21st century into a dark time of despotism.

Money is changing and this may mean a new world order. David Birch sets out the economic and technological imperatives concerning digital money, discussing the potential impact of it and the tensions involved - between public and private and between East and West - to contribute to the high-level debate that we must have to begin to shape the International Monetary and Financial System of the near future.

"Asylum-seeker"; "refugee". All the major British political parties have brought these words to the top of the political agenda. Some newspapers shout about the swarms of refugees arriving on our shores; others criticize our government's lack of humanitarian principles. But what do we know about the refugees themselves what it means to leave your home, your family, your past? Author Rose George has travelled to Liberia and Ivory Coast and also met refugees in Britain to discover what really happens when you are uprooted by war, greed, and guns.

China's foreign policy initiatives, even the vaunted "Belt and Road", will be shaped and redefined as they confront the ground realities of local and regional politics outside China. In China's Western Horizon, Daniel S. Markey, a scholar of international relations and former member of the US State Department's policy planning staff, previews how China's efforts are likely to play out across the swath of Eurasia that includes South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Drawing from extensive interviews and historical research, Markey describes how perceptions of China vary.

In this urgent and timely book, Patrick Cockburn writes the first draft of the history of the current crisis in the Middle East. Here he charts the period from the recapture of Mosul in 2017 to Turkey's attack on Kurdish territory in November 2019, and recounts the new phase in the wars of disintegration that have plagued the region. The ground battle with the caliphate is perhaps over, but was this the end of the conflict that has scarred these nations for decades?

Terrorism kills far fewer Americans annually than automobile accidents, firearms, or even lightning strikes. Given this minimal risk, why does the US continue expending lives and treasure to fight the global war on terror? In Monsters to Destroy, Navin A. Bapat argues that the war on terror provides the US a cover for its efforts to expand and preserve American control over global energy markets.

In China and the World, one of the world's leading China specialists, David Shambaugh, has assembled 15 leading international authorities on China to create the most comprehensive and up-to-date scholarly assessment of China's foreign relations and roles in international affairs.

As the voting public continues to diversify across the United States, political candidates, and particularly white candidates, increasingly recognize the importance of making appeals to voters who do not look like themselves. As history has shown, this has been accomplished with varying degrees of success. During the 2016 election, for example, both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders campaigned vociferously among Latino voters in Nevada's early primary, where 19 percent of the Democratic caucus consisted of Latinos.
