Un essai courageux au service d'un combat désormais inévitable contre l'intolérance, le fanatisme et l'oppression. Dans L'Islam contre la modernité , Ferghane Azihari, issu d'une famille musulmane comorienne, mais d'abord libre penseur, mène un combat intellectuel à la manière de Voltaire. À la lumière des textes fondateurs et de la géopolitique, il montre comment l'Islam a rejeté l'héritage des grandes civilisations antiques, colonisé les esprits et les peuples, et bâti un système de surveillance morale étouffant.

C'è stato un tempo in cui per un giovane cinese mangiare pollo fritto da KFC a Pechino era un atto di trasgressione, e guardare Titanic al cinema significava sognare un futuro come quello di Los Angeles. Per decenni, la Cina ha osservato gli Stati Uniti con una fascinazione magnetica, un misto di desiderio e complesso d'inferiorità. L'America non era solo un partner o un nemico: era lo specchio in cui la Cina cercava la propria immagine riflessa per capire cosa sarebbe diventata «da grande». Oggi quel mondo è finito e quelle immagini sono cambiate.

Wade, and the ongoing fallout from COVID-19. Chomsky also untangles the roots of the War in Ukraine, the diplomatic tensions among the United States, China, and Russia, and considers the need for climate action on an international scale.

For millennia, cinnamon has been treasured for its healing powers and warm unmistakable aroma. But behind its familiar scent lies a tumultuous past steeped in conquest and rebellion. In Cinnamon, acclaimed historian Nira Wickramasinghe traces the remarkable story of this 'queen of spices', from ancient Egyptian embalming tables and medieval Mughal kitchens to disastrous expeditions to mythical cinnamon lands in the Americas and the fierce imperial rivalries of the Portuguese, Dutch and British.

In Trajectory of Power, leading political scientists William Howell and Terry Moe provide a sweeping account of the historical rise of presidential power, arguing that it has now grown to the point where, in the wrong hands, it threatens to subvert American democracy and replace it with a de facto system of strongman rule, whether led by Donald Trump or someone else.

Deep beneath our feet, vast and sprawling, lies one of the most sophisticated empires the world has ever known. At first glance, it might not look like much - it is made up of fibre optic cables and obscure payment systems. But according to prominent political scientists Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman, this network is the key source of American power on the global stage, more significant than its military might. Underground Empire weaves together tales of economic conflict, shadowy surveillance technologies and covert infrastructure projects to present an explosive new vision of geopolitics.

Was passiert wirklich in China? – China-Korrespondentin Lea Sahay bietet in diesem Hörbuch exklusive Einblicke in Politik, Wirtschaft und den chinesischen Traum. Lange schien Pekings neo-kommunistische Politik aufzugehen.

Doch heute zeigt die Fassade der zweitgrößten Wirtschaftsmacht der Welt Risse: Der Tech-Boom ist vorbei, die Immobilienblase geplatzt und das Gesundheitssystem kollabiert.

The United States is being bombarded with cyber-attacks. From the surge in ransomware groups targeting critical infrastructure to nation states compromising the software supply chain and corporate email servers, malicious cyber activities have reached an all-time high. Russia attracts the most attention, but China is vastly more sophisticated. They have a common interest in exploiting the openness of the Internet and social media—and our democracy—to erode confidence in our institutions and to exacerbate our societal rifts to prevent us from mounting an effective response.

Too often, we are told that Russia plays a weak hand well. But, perhaps the nation's cards are better than we know. Russia ranks behind the US and China by traditional measures of power: GDP, population size and health, and military might. Yet twenty-five years removed from its mid-1990s nadir following the collapse of the USSR, Russia has become a supremely disruptive force in world politics. Kathryn E. Stoner assesses the resurrection of Russia and argues that we should look beyond traditional means of power to assess its strength in global affairs.
