Over the past two decades, postcommunist countries have witnessed a sudden shift in the electoral fortunes of their political parties: previously successful center-left parties suffered dramatic electoral defeats and disappeared from the political scene, while right-wing populist parties soared in popularity and came to power. This dynamic echoed similar processes in Western Europe and raises a question: Were these dynamics in any way connected? When Right Moves Left argues that they were. 

In England, Tom Baldwin, bestselling biographer of Keir Starmer, and Marc Stears, influential think tank head, unravel seven myths that have distorted ideas of this country and provided ammunition for charlatans or culture warriors from both left and right. Instead of vainly promising to solve everything all at once, Baldwin and Stears provide clues for how a humbler, less grandiose, set of ideas rooted in real lives can help fix some of the things that have gone so badly wrong in recent years.

Das Europaparlament – eine hervorragende Idee. Nur in der Realität leider ein Witz, und noch dazu ein sehr schlechter. Nico Semsrott berichtet ehrlich und komisch von seinen Erfahrungen aus fünf Jahren Europaparlament. Von der sinnlosen Pendelei zwischen Brüssel und Straßburg, in der schon alles steckt, was das Parlament im Kern ausmacht: Steuerverschwendung, Tragik und grober Unfug. Von gierigen Parlamentariern, die keines ihrer unsinnigen Privilegien ungenutzt lassen und sich ständig in die eigene Tasche wirtschaften.

Tendo o príncipe necessidade de saber usar bem a natureza do animal, deve escolher a raposa e o leão, pois o leão não sabe se defender dos laços (das armadilhas) e a raposa não sabe se defender da força bruta dos lobos. Portanto, é preciso ser raposa, para conhecer as armadilhas, e leão, para aterrorizar os lobos.""Um príncipe não deve ter nenhum outro objetivo ou pensamento, nem estudar nada além da guerra e das suas regras e disciplina, pois essa é a única arte que compete a quem governa, e ela é tão forte que não apenas mantém aqueles que nascem príncipes, mas muitas vezes permite a homens de condição comum subir àquele posto.

In this timely and incisive book, Sergei Medvedev argues that Russia's war in Ukraine was not merely a whim of Putin's obsession: rather, it was the result of two decades of authoritarian degradation and post-imperial ressentiment, a culmination of Putin's regime and of Russia's entire imperial history.

Яркая, полемичная, жесткая работа Ильина, впервые опубликованная в Берлине в 1925г., когда впечатления Гражданской войны и воспоминания об ужасах "красного террора" были у русской эмиграции еще болезненно свежи. В этом посвященном «белым воинам, носителям православного меча» труде властитель дум право-консервативного крыла Русского зарубежья решительно осуждает "непротивленческую" теорию Льва Толстого с ее "сентиментальным морализмом", проводит разграничение между собственно насилием как бессмысленным и жестоким угнетением и "заставлением" - т.е. осознанным и морально оправданным пресечением некоей вредной и опасной деятельности.

Stabil, selbstsicher, wohlhabend. Langweilig, aber meist Klassenbester. Lange blickten unsere europäischen Nachbarn neidisch, aber voll Respekt auf Deutschland. Doch die Dominanz in der EU ist erschüttert. Putins Ukraine-Krieg hat Deutschlands Schwächen offengelegt: Wirtschaftlich anfällig, strategisch naiv und längst nicht so modern, wie wir denken.

В своем главном сочинении «Закат Европы» автор в рамках своей концепции определенного жизненного цикла любой культуры говорит о неизбежной, по его мнению, дегуманизации европейской культуры, о растущем господстве техницизма, "перерождающем ее в цивилизацию" с заменой творчества и развития бесплодием и окостенением.

Auch über 30 Jahre nach der Wiedervereinigung bleibt die Diskussion über Ostdeutschland aktuell. Das Gefühl der Ungleichheit und mangelnden Anerkennung ist bei vielen Menschen in den neuen Bundesländern noch immer präsent. Doch bloßes Klagen reicht nicht aus. Was wir brauchen, sind praktische Lösungen.

The Spycatcher affair remains one of the most intriguing moments in the history of British intelligence and a pivotal point in the public's relationship with the murky world of espionage and security. It lifted the lid on alleged Soviet infiltration of British services and revealed a culture of law-breaking, bugging and burgling. But how much do we know about the story behind the scandal?

Liz Truss's disastrous premiership was the shortest and most chaotic in British history. In the space of just 49 days, Truss witnessed the death of the longest-reigning monarch, attempted to remould the economy, triggered a collapse in the value of Sterling and was forced on a series of embarrassing U-turns that ultimately led to her resignation. The aftershocks of her time in office are still felt today. How did she blow her opportunity so spectacularly?

The inside story of the unprecedented restructuring of Greece’s debt in 2012—the largest restructuring in history—and how the Eurozone was stabilized and Greece was saved from exit from the Euro and economic calamity. In the fall of 2009, the world economy was beginning to recover from the global financial crisis that had shaken global markets and had led to a sharp recession. At the same time, Europe was entering a new phase of economic stress.

Under mer än 30 år har Jan Guillou varit Sveriges mest läste, kanske också mest kontroversielle, kolumnist. Hans texter i Aftonbladet har handlat om allt från föreställningen att de fattiga får det bättre om man sänker skatterna för de rika, till hot och hat mot framför allt kvinnliga skribenter, om tilltron till hårdare straff och utbyggda fängelser och till och med om vargfrågan. Men allra mest om terroristlagstiftningen och frågan om likhet inför lagen.

Mussolini's Grandchildren delves into Italy's self-styled 'post-fascist' movements—rooted in historical fascism yet claiming to have 'transcended' it. David Broder highlights the reinventions of far-right politics since WWII and examines the interplay between a parliamentary face aimed at integrating fascists into the mainstream and militant fringe groups which, despite their extremism, play an important role in nurturing the broader far right.

In eighteenth-century Britain, Edmund Burke and Charles Fox made common political cause for twenty-five years. They supported the rebellious American colonies, attacked the British slave trade, defended religious liberty, and attempted to shield Britain's public credit from the crisis-prone East India Company. The two men did not share social position, a way of life, a political legacy, or even a generation—but improbably, they were friends.

As nationalism and anti-immigration rhetoric surge in France (and elsewhere), The Shortest History of France presents a portrait of a nation whose politics and society have always been shaped by global forces. Grounded in up-to-date historical scholarship that avoids the traps of national exceptionalism, Jones reminds us that it was only after the first millennium of French history that a nation-state began to emerge.

Das politische System der Bundesrepublik ist nicht ganz einfach zu durchschauen.

У цій унікальній книжці, написаній видатним українським ученим, письменником і політичним діячем Михайлом Грушевським, стисло і доступно, надзвичайно колоритною мовою розповідається про невмирущі сторінки нашого героїчного минулого, про споконвічні устремління українського народу до волі та справедливості, про тернистий шлях до незалежності. Надзвичайно переймаючись тим, що українські землі постійно ділять між собою сильніші держави, автор закликає українців єднатися і окреслює напрямки розвитку різних сфер життя в Україні.

Are radical climate activists hurting the cause? Germany should have been a global leader in combating climate change—its voters consider it a major issue and back the world’s most powerful Green Party. Yet, Germany’s climate policies have been disappointing. What happened? In Climate...

De clan van Orbán is een meeslepend en verontrustend portret van een autocraat die het politieke debat in Europa nog jaren zal bepalen. In dit boek bundelt Sadée zijn ervaringen en spreekt hij met Orbáns politieke vrienden en vijanden, in Boedapest en in Brussel.Hij is Europa’s langstzittende en meest omstreden regeringsleider: Viktor Orbán, premier van Hongarije.

España ocupa una posición geoestratégica clave a nivel mundial que despierta la codicia de países como Marruecos que desea apoderarse de territorio español y Reino Unido que no quiere perder su control sobre el Peñón de Gibraltar. Aunque el riesgo de conflicto parezca poco probable, la guerra de Ucrania ha demostrado que una guerra no es imposible en el mundo contemporáneo. Y, ¿cómo España puede defenderse sin entrar en batalla?

Borders are not just meaningless geographical lines. They have an impact on all of our lives, whether it's the fallout from Brexit or the inhumanity of a detention center. In Border Nation, Leah Cowan shows how borders are violent, oppressive, and must be resisted. Looking back, we learn of the elitist, colonial, and patriarchal origins of borders, explore the vital history of anti-racist, anti-border organizing and hear stories from people who have crossed partitions.

España y sus élites: de los afrancesados a nuestros días. Una parte importante de nuestras élites intelectuales y políticas más prestigiosas considera que España no solo tiene una historia desastrosa de la que hay que avergonzarse, sino un núcleo profundo. (castizo) que es moralmente inferior al de otros países de su entorno.
