Der nächste Brandherd vor unserer Haustür? Vor über hundert Jahren entzündete sich auf dem westlichen Balkan der Erste Weltkrieg. Verantwortlich dafür waren die Großmächte, die ihr Ringen um Vormacht in der Region austrugen. Heute baut China dort Straßen, Russland spornt Nationalisten an, die Türkei und die Golfstaaten investieren in Moscheen und Hotels. Sie alle sehen darin einen Weg, Einfluss auf Europa zu nehmen.

Sinn Féin is the most popular political party in both Northern Ireland and the Republic. A movement once synonymous with a paramilitary campaign is on the brink of taking real power through purely democratic means. But if Sinn Féin has mastered the art of electoral politics, it remains strangely opaque. Who really runs the party? How is it funded? And what can we expect of it as a party of government? Aoife Moore, Irish Journalist of the Year in 2021, explores these and other burning questions in The Long Game.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Yaroslav Trofimov has spent months on end at the heart of the conflict, very often on its front lines. In this authoritative account, he traces the war’s decisive moments—from the battle for Kyiv to more recently the gruelling and bloody arm wrestle involving the Wagner group over Bakhmut—to show how Ukraine and its allies have turned the tide against Russia in a modern-day battle of David and Goliath.

Since Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine, some one million Russians have fled the country and gone into exile. Motivated by opposition to the war, by guilt for their country’s deeds, by personal hatred for the Czar-like Putin, and by a vision of a better Russia, shorn of autocracy, the exiles have mounted an organized resistance to Putin’s rule. Paul Starobin travels to meet with exiles and has conversations with prominent figures throughout Europe and America, as he takes measure of this rebellion—and its potential to fix a nation plagued by revanchist imperial dreams.

For centuries, British identity has been shaped by ideas of exceptionalism, grandeur and competence. Yet British democracy is failing. Governments supported by a minority of voters are elected with enormous majorities under a deeply unrepresentative first-past-the-post system. The result has been failed leaders delivering wounding blows to the country's economy, prosperity and international image. Britain Is Better Than This explores what lies beneath this sense of malaise, revealing the structural and constitutional failures at the heart of a sclerotic political system.

Não há governo que pare de pé quando o governante provoca uma grave crise econômica. Nos últimos dois anos, o Brasil passou por uma recessão severa, com um rombo inédito nas contas públicas. Depois de mais de vinte anos, a inflação voltou a visitar o patamar de dois dígitos. Em agosto de 2016, quando o Congresso afastou definitivamente a presidente Dilma Rousseff, o desemprego abatia mais de 12 milhões de brasileiros.

An examination of UK politics and politicians from 1945 to 2023, written for people who hate or ignore both. A manifesto for a political future based on philosophy and wisdom about how our political system should be changed—which, of course, means goodbye to party politics....

This book is Khodorkovsky's account of what is happening in Russia today and what could happen in the future. Putin will not last forever: sooner or later, there will be a post-Putin era. But Russia's history has been deeply shaped by an autocratic trap: a revolution against an autocracy has produced another autocracy, followed by another revolution and another autocracy, and so on. If Russia is to find its place as a constructive partner in a global community of civilized nations, then it has to escape this vicious cycle.

Inzwischen ist Martin Sonneborn nicht mehr so naiv: Als er 2019 zum zweiten Mal ins Europaparlament gewählt wird, weiß er bereits, wie in der EU Politik gemacht wird – und kennt alle Tricks. Das ist auch gut so, denn in seiner zweiten Amtszeit geht es in Europa um alles. (Fast).

In August 1989, a group of Hungarian activists did the unthinkable: they entered the forbidden militarised zone of the Iron Curtain - and held a picnic. Drawing on dozens of original interviews with those involved - activists and border guards, escapees and secret police, as well as the last Communist prime minister of Hungary - Matthew Longo reconstructs not only this remarkable event but also its complex and bittersweet aftermath.

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.

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?

La investigación más completa hasta la fecha sobre uno de los mayores problemas de nuestro tiempo. El término polarización está en boca de todos los analistas de la actualidad política local e internacional.

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 Baltic's time has come.

This books explores the history, their culture, their peculiarities and national dilemmas of all nine Baltic countries. At its core is a search for fresh answers to Europe's problems, at a point where the continent's previously dominant powers appear tired and divided.

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.

Un retrato de los poderes económicos y sociales de Cataluña y del proceso que llevó a la desaparición de su influencia política. La burguesía catalana acumula un siglo de decadencia. Lejos queda la época en la que comandaba la política y la economía española, lideraba la banca y el mundo empresarial. Una realidad encubierta durante décadas, en buena parte gracias a la contribución del pujolismo durante su larga etapa de gobierno, que fomentó un relato romántico sobre su presencia social. Hasta que llegó el procés y un mundo menos glamuroso quedó al descubierto.

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.
