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.

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? Was wird aus der europäischen Idee? Werden die Regierungen die Menschen oder die Wirtschaft retten? Wie wird die Krise unser Zusammenleben verändern und was können wir aus ihr lernen? Die Coronavirus-Pandemie unterscheidet sich in vielen Punkten fundamental von vorangegangenen Krisen, die die Welt überstanden hat.

Il nostro destino è scritto nelle carte geografiche, e nella loro storia. Ogni crisi vicina e lontana ci costringe a capire la fisicità del mondo in cui viviamo. La geografia e la storia come le abbiamo studiate sui banchi di scuola non ci bastano più. Dobbiamo guardare "oltre", penetrare il significato nascosto delle carte geografiche, incrociare il paesaggio terrestre con la storia delle civiltà. Ci servono mappe intelligenti per orientarci a capire dove siamo ora, e dove andremo domani. La storia antica riappare negli atlanti, come una trama invisibile che si ripete.

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?

Ricordi quando vivevi nel migliore dei mondi possibili, e non te ne accorgevi neanche? Quando eri certo che il futuro sarebbe stato migliore del presente. Quando sapevi che i tuoi figli avrebbero trovato lavoro a un chilometro da casa. Quando potevi sognare senza sembrare un illuso. Quando dovevi sforzarti per accorgerti della disoccupazione. Quando il terrorismo sembrava un relitto del passato. Quando il concetto stesso di immigrazione pareva sul punto di perdere significato, perché stavamo per andare a vivere in un mondo unico, in cui le piccole aziende non chiudevano.

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.

This anthology is a diverse collection of explainers by some of the finest writers from The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald. It tackles quintessentially Australian topics (where does the term 'mate' come from?) as well as questions being grappled with around the world (what will our homes be powered by in the future?). Inquisitive readers love the explainer columns for their strong and surprising storytelling, deeply researched reporting and inventive illustrations.

"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.

Perpetually covered in ice and snow, the mountainous Antarctic Peninsula stretches southward toward the South Pole where it merges with the largest and coldest mass of ice anywhere on the planet. Yet far from being an otherworldly "Pole Apart", the region has the most contested political history of any part of the Antarctic Continent. In Frozen Empires, Adrian Howkins argues that there has been a fundamental continuity in the ways in which imperial powers have used the environment to support their political claims in the Antarctic Peninsula region.

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.

How China Loses tells the story of China's struggles to overcome new risks and endure the global backlash against its assertive reach. Combining on-the-ground reportage with incisive analysis, Luke Patey argues that China's predatory economic agenda, headstrong diplomacy, and military expansion undermine its global ambitions to dominate the global economy and world affairs.
