World politics has changed, claims Bruno Maçães. Geopolitics is no longer simply a contest to control territory: in this age of advanced technology, it has become a contest to create the territory. Great powers seek to build a world for other states to inhabit, while keeping the ability to change the rules or the state of the world when necessary. At a moment when the old concepts no longer work, this book aims to introduce a radically new theory of world politics and technology.

Wit, a former State Department official, takes listeners to the front lines of nuclear negotiations and to fierce policy debates and secret diplomatic gambits, recounting how perilously close the United States and North Korea have come, on various occasions, to nuclear confrontation.

In the 1990s, a vision emerged of a frictionless world of globalization in which the West would become ever richer on the basis of a tech-based service economy, all underpinned by a rules-based liberal international order. It became the basis for the mainstream politics of center-left and right. Philip Pilkington argues that this vision was always delusional and is now dying.

La sagrada familia es la investigación más exhaustiva sobre el núcleo de poder que orbita en torno a Pedro Sánchez. El análisis de más de 10.000 documentos permite reconstruir con precisión quirúrgica el funcionamiento real de un modelo sostenido en privilegios, fidelidades personales y acceso discrecional a recursos del Estado. Alejandro Entrambasaguas tira del hilo con la obsesión de seguir el rastro de quiénes se han beneficiado de su cercanía al presidente.

"Covert action" is generally understood as politically motivated and plausibly deniable interference by one state in the affairs of another state. It includes propaganda, political or economic subversion, paramilitary action, and assassinations. Covert action is the most consequential and controversial form of secret statecraft, and it has become a ubiquitous feature of international politics. However, it is often sensationalized or seen through a narrow, US-centric lens.

La aparente estabilidad de las últimas décadas ha quedado atrás, es una etapa que no ha dejado de ser una anomalía: los nuevos líderes vuelven a ejercer el poder mediante acciones despiadadas y caóticas. El respeto a instituciones o derechos ha dejado de tener la menor importancia para los autócratas o los señores de la tecnología, en un mundo con una IA ya fuera de control. Este ensayo se convierte en un viaje apasionante y estremecedor por los nuevos centros del poder, desde Nueva York hasta Buenos Aires o El Salvador, desde las Naciones Unidas hasta Arabia Saudí.

Die Welt, die Europa im 19. Jahrhundert geschaffen hat, ist zu einer Welt geworden, die der Westen nicht mehr allein zu beherrschen vermag. Dem Abstieg des Westens folgt der Aufstieg all jener, die einst von europäischen Mächten überwältigt wurden. Längst lassen sich Staaten wie Indien, Südafrika, Brasilien, Indonesien und Saudi-Arabien nicht mehr auf die hinteren Plätze verweisen. In China finden sie eine mächtige wirtschaftspolitische Alternative. Den USA ist der chinesische Aufstieg längst unheimlich geworden. Die Rede ist von einem neuen Kalten Krieg.
