Carlo Masala warnt in diesem Hörbuch vor den Illusionen des Westens: der Illusion, die Globalisierung würde automatisch zur Verbreitung der Demokratie führen, der Illusion einer zunehmenden Verrechtlichung der internationalen Beziehungen, aber auch der Illusion, durch militärische Interventionen ließen sich Demokratie und Stabilität exportieren. Seit der Niederlage in Afghanistan und Putins Krieg gegen die Ukraine stehen die Grundlagen westlicher Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik auf dem Prüfstand.

Accelerated technology advancement and innovation are key elements to achieving DoD priorities through these strategic ways, and to ensure our national security over the long term.

Spionagesatelliten in der Umlaufbahn des Mondes. Bodenschätze im Weltraum, wertvoller als das Bruttoinlandsprodukt der meisten Länder. Menschen auf dem Mars in den nächsten zehn Jahren.

The United States' ignominious exit from Afghanistan in 2021 topped two decades of failure and devastation wrought by the war on terror. A long-running “fight against migration” has stoked chaos and rights abuses while pushing migrants onto more dangerous routes. For its part, the war on drugs has failed to dampen narcotics demand while fueling atrocities from Mexico to the Philippines. Why do such “failing” policies persist for so long? And why do politicians keep feeding the very crises they say they are combating?

Behind the demeanor that made Dwight D. "Ike" Eisenhower so popular was a cold-as-steel intelligence that kept his country prosperous and out of danger. Because his operating methods were so deeply hidden, it is only in the past few decades that historians have grasped the full extent of his achievements. Ike in Love and War shows the hidden sacrifices that made Eisenhower remarkable. It probes the mission that was driving him: the quest to reconcile his skill as a fighter with his mother's pacifism, which led him to become the greatest peacekeeper of his age.

Deutschland hatte sich behaglich eingerichtet in der Welt der Globalisierung - einer Welt, die friedlich zusammenzuwachsen und für uns immer sicherer zu werden schien. Doch diese Welt gibt es spätestens seit dem russischen Überfall auf die Ukraine nicht mehr. Über ein Zeitenwendchen ist die deutsche Politik bisher dennoch nicht hinausgekommen. Nach einem ersten Schock hat das Land wieder in den Friedensmodus geschaltet. Carlo Masala zieht eine schonungslose Bilanz und beschreibt, wie wir resilienter werden können - gesellschaftlich, wirtschaftlich, politisch und militärisch.

International security and American supremacy are at stake—and now is the time for the US to take action. China's global power and influence grows every day. Working from a deep sense of national identity, the Chinese Communist Party is leading its country toward what it deems "the great rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation," and executing a long-term Grand Strategy to topple over its chief adversary, the US. As China becomes increasingly repressive domestically and aggressive overseas, it threatens to upend America's global dominance at every turn.

Blankenship identifies three factors that determine the severity of this burden-sharing dilemma and how it is managed: the latent military power of allies, the shared external threat environment, and the level of a patron's resource constraints. Through case studies of US alliances formed during the Cold War, he shows that a patron can mitigate the dilemma by combining assurances of protection with threats of abandonment and by exercising discretion in its burden-sharing pressure.

Der Wunsch nach weltweitem Frieden ist ebenso redlich wie verständlich. Doch er führt auch dazu, dass uns aufflammende Konflikte und Kriege in Schrecken versetzen - ganz besonders, wenn sie in geografischer Nähe auftreten, wie es seit dem russischen Angriffskrieg in der Ukraine der Fall ist. Sehen wir also der Realität ins Auge, fordert der renommierte Militärexperte Carlo Masala: Wenn wir verstehen, warum Konflikte, Kriege und Gewalt ein Kennzeichen des internationalen Systems sind und welche Spielregeln dort gelten, dann können wir in Zukunft politisch wie als Gesellschaft auch besser damit umgehen.
