Elbridge A. Colby was the lead architect of the 2018 National Defense Strategy, the most significant revision of US defense strategy in a generation. Here he lays out how America's defense must change to address China's growing power and ambition. Based firmly in the realist tradition but deeply engaged in current policy, this book offers a clear framework for what America's goals in confronting China must be, how its military strategy must change, and how it must prioritize these goals over its lesser interests.

The Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, subsequent war in Eastern Ukraine, and economic sanctions imposed by the West transformed European politics. The conflict did not escalate to the levels originally feared but nor was either side able to bring it to a definitive conclusion.

President Putin was left supporting a separatist enclave as Russia's economy suffered significant damage.

This is not soft-on-crime, feel-good philosophy, but rather a concrete effort to bring justice and healing to everyone involved in a crime. In The Little Book of Restorative Justice, Howard Zehr, the father of restorative justice and is known worldwide for his pioneering work in transforming understandings of justice, first explores how restorative justice is different from criminal justice. Then, before letting those appealing observations drift out of reach into theoretical space, Zehr presents restorative justice practices.

Generationenkonflikte gab es schon immer. Doch der derzeit vorherrschende ist geprägt von einem erheblichen Machtgefälle, während gleichzeitig ein enormer gesellschaftlicher Wandel gestemmt werden muss, wenn wir die Klimakatastrophe abwenden und unsere Zukunft bewahren wollen. Barbara Streidl zeigt, welche Kraft wir freisetzen können, wenn die Generationen ihre Differenzen überwinden und gemeinsam an einem Strang ziehen. Es wird deutlich, dass wir einen neuen Generationenvertrag benötigen, wenn wir die enormen Herausforderungen unserer Gegenwart meistern wollen.
