Based on over a hundred interviews and on secret records of White House-Kremlin contacts, Not One Inch shows how the United States successfully overcame Russian resistance in the 1990s to expand NATO to more than 900 million people.

From the global impact of the coronavirus to exploring the vast spread of the Australian bush fires, join authors Ian Goldin and Robert Muggah as they trace the ways in which our world has changed and the ways in which it will continue to change over the next hundred years. Map-making is an ancient impulse. From the moment Homo sapiens learnt to communicate we have used them to make sense of our surroundings. But as Albert Einstein once said, ‘You can’t use old maps to explore a new world.’

One World Now seamlessly integrates major developments of the past decade into Peter Singer's classic text on the ethics of globalization, One World. Singer, often described as the world's most influential philosopher, here addresses such essential concerns as climate change, economic globalization, foreign aid, human rights, immigration, and the responsibility to protect people from genocide and crimes against humanity, whatever country they may be in.

מה עומד מאחורי מרבית המאבקים בזירות הכלכלה העולמיות, בזירות הגיאו-פוליטיות, הטכנולוגיות והצבאיות בימינו? התשובה היא המאבק המתפתח בין ארצות הברית לבין סין. זהו הסיפור הגדול ביותר של ימינו – מערכת היחסים הסבוכה והמתוחה בין סין, מעצמה חדשה-ישנה הזורחת מחדש על במת העולם, וארצות הברית, מעצמת-על הנאלצת להגן על מעמדה. זהו איננו מאבק השמור לדיונים תיאורטיים ולפקולטות מדעי המדינה. הביטו סביבכם. כמעט כל אספקט בחיינו מושפע מזירה זו.

Fights about the fate of the state of Israel, and the Zionist movement that gave birth to it, have long been a staple of both Jewish and American political culture. But despite these arguments' significance to American politics, American Jewish life, and to Israel itself, no one has ever systematically examined their history and explained why they matter. In We Are Not One, historian Eric Alterman traces this debate from its nineteenth-century origins.

Zwei Jahrzehnte ist das 21. Jahrhundert jetzt alt, und die Konturen einer neuen Welt(un)ordnung werden immer deutlicher erkennbar: der Aufstieg Chinas, die Verlagerung der weltpolitischen Achse hin zum Pazifik, eine zunehmend konfuse Weltmacht USA, die in den Nationalismus zurückfällt, eine frustrierte Nuklearmacht Russland, ein stagnierendes Europa... Seit dem Abstieg der USA als globale Ordnungsmacht nach 1989 gibt es eine gefährliche neue Rivalität nuklearer Weltmächte, die jederzeit eskalieren kann: Korea, Hongkong, Kaschmir, Iran, Jemen, Syrien, Ukraine.

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.

La mondialisation, ce terme aujourd'hui à la mode, n'est pas un phénomène récent. Elle résulte de l'européanisation du monde, c'est-à-dire de l'expansion des nations européennes dans leur mouvement de conquête. L'auteur se propose à la fois de démystifier ce phénomène fondateur de la modernité occidentale, en montrant qu'il n'est porteur d'aucun sens de l'histoire, et d'en étudier les enjeux les plus actuels.

Brought to you by Penguin. Today, globalism has a bad reputation. 'Citizens of the world' are depicted as recklessly uninterested in how international economic forces can affect local communities. Meanwhile, nationalists are often derided as racists and bigots. But what if the two were not so...

Avec la naissance de l'Etat, 3000 ans avant notre ère, l'espace géographique acquiert une dimension politique. Désormais, l'espace n'est plus seulement façonné et cloisonné par la diversité du milieu naturel et par celle du peuplement, mais aussi par l'exercice de souverainetés étatiques concurrentes. Il devient le théâtre et l'enjeu de rivalités pour le contrôle de voies stratégiques, de ressources vitales, mais aussi de territoires ou de lieux symboliques.
