"Questo libro è un viaggio nel grande paradosso di una sfida planetaria. Vi racconto una faccia della Cina troppo nascosta e inquietante, che l'élite occidentale ha deciso di non vedere. Rivelo il gioco dei corsi e ricorsi, tra due superpotenze che si studiano e si copiano a vicenda. E spiego il Nuovo Grande Esperimento Americano, che tenta di invertire il corso della storia prima che sia troppo tardi." Federico Rampini racconta una sfida fatta anche di contaminazione reciproca, perché alcuni problemi sono simili.

Nata in un piccolo paese vicino Tianjin tre mesi prima del massacro di piazza Tienanmen del 4 giugno 1989, Karoline Kan ci racconta la sua storia, e la storia della sua generazione, stretta tra la politica autoritaria cinese, il boom economico e il rapidissimo sviluppo tecnologico. Karoline, trent'anni, rientra a pieno diritto nella generazione dei millennial, e da quel punto di vista ci rivela ciò che lei e tre generazioni della sua famiglia hanno vissuto sulla propria pelle.

2022 a marqué une rupture générationnelle d'une ampleur insoupçonnée. Elle clôt un cycle de trente ans, ouvert en 1989 avec la chute du Mur de Berlin. Deux évènements majeurs sont à l'origine de cette cassure : la guerre menée par la Russie en Ukraine, qui n'est en réalité qu'une variante du conflit sino-américain et marque le début d'une seconde guerre froide au détriment de l'Europe ; et l'entrée de la Chine dans un nouveau modèle politique et économique à l'issue du XXe Congrès du Parti communiste chinois. Ces deux évènements produisent des conséquences en chaîne.

By focusing on the role of perceptions and US expectations in fueling the shift towards competition and rivalry in the last decade, Shambaugh provides a unique new perspective on this critical global relationship.

Reportage: Essays on the New World Order examines the roots, culture, mindset and insatiable and ruthless lust for power of globalist institutions and interests. James offers not only clarity on the Who, What, How and Why of hidden and suppressed histories, but also presents alternatives, and-yes-even hope for the free and sovereign individual in a world seemingly locked down by The Powers that Be.

Questo libro affronta le questioni più tragiche e attuali della politica internazionale, dal bombardamento di Gaza alla guerra tra Iran e Israele. Il primo capitolo ricostruisce il dibattito sul genocidio a Gaza. Il secondo capitolo espone la tesi dell'autore attraverso il «paradosso della violenza estrema», secondo cui il genocidio può avvenire anche senza spargimento di sangue. Il terzo capitolo analizza le decisioni politicamente più rilevanti di Giorgia Meloni verso Gaza nei giorni dello sterminio dei palestinesi.

Canada Alone sketches the more dystopian future that is likely to result if the illiberal, anti-democratic, and authoritarian Make America Great Again movement regains power. Under the twin stresses of a reinvigorated America First policy and the purposeful abandonment of American global leadership, the West will likely fracture, leaving Canadians all alone with an increasingly dysfunctional United States. Canada Alone outlines what Canadians will need to navigate this deeply unfamiliar post-American world.

Que savons-nous des plans échafaudés par nos partenaires et adversaires ? La guerre en Ukraine nous a brutalement rappelé qu’une décision prise par un chef d’État a un impact sur le sort de millions de personnes. Pour rompre avec une vision du monde souvent nombriliste, la France doit mieux comprendre les ambitions des autres grandes puissances. C’est l’objectif de cet essai inédit et stimulant. Quelle importance accorder à la foi religieuse dans les stratégies conduites par la Turquie d’Erdogan, l’Iran de Khamenei et l’Arabie saoudite de MBS ?

Federico Rampini, che lo frequenta da oltre quarant'anni, ci guida in questo viaggio fra i misteri di una civiltà antichissima e affascinante, un paese che condensa modernità e rispetto della tradizione come nessun altro, e ciononostante deve far fronte a numerosi paradossi: il paradiso delle buone maniere può essere vissuto come una prigione di conformismo, tanto che alcuni decidono di scomparire, evaporando nel nulla.

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.

Inside the Situation Room offers an insider look at how decisions are actually made, what theoretical insights might be useful to current and future generations of leaders, and where research still needs to be done. This audiobook will serve as the first step toward a new standard engagement: more active, iterative collaboration among two communities—scholars and practitioners—who have a great deal to contribute and learn from one another.

The Second World War was the most destructive conflict in history. It left Europe in ruins, its economies severely damaged and millions of its people facing malnutrition, its political systems shaken if not destroyed. Yet three decades later its economies had recovered; it largely appeared politically stable; its inhabitants generally were well housed and well fed. Then at the end of the 1980s, the postwar settlement disintegrated, and a new chapter in Europe's postwar history had begun.

China ya no es solo la fábrica del mundo, también es su mayor banquero. Con su enorme reserva en divisas podría comprar el planeta. Y ya ha empezado a hacerlo. Esto significa que el gobierno chino tiene, en pleno siglo XXI, un poder de control inaudito sobre los países occidentales. Las economías y gobiernos del llamado Primer Mundo necesitan sus inversiones para salir de la crisis. También los resultados de las multinacionales más poderosas dependen de China. Ni en sus sueños más ambiciosos Mao Tse Tung hubiera podido imaginar algo así.
