How China Loses tells the story of China's struggles to overcome new risks and endure the global backlash against its assertive reach. Combining on-the-ground reportage with incisive analysis, Luke Patey argues that China's predatory economic agenda, headstrong diplomacy, and military expansion undermine its global ambitions to dominate the global economy and world affairs. 

Partant du constat que la France semble avoir aujourd'hui renoncé à assumer sa place dans le monde, à maîtriser ses finances publiques, à faire face aux défis économiques et géopolitiques du monde contemporain, à répondre aux tensions qui traversent sa société, etc. Thierry Breton se demande si le « renoncement » ne faisait finalement pas partie de nos vieux travers, de nos héritages historiques, de notre psychologie collective...

Le monde occidental se fracture devant nous : la faille atlantique, diagnostiquée au début des années 2000, s'est muée en une fracture insurmontable entre deux blocs antagonistes. Tout comme il y a eu deux Allemagnes, il semble bien qu'il y aura deux Occidents : l'Amérique trumpienne d'un côté et l'Europe progressiste de l'autre. Cet essai saisit ce basculement historique : l'évolution des droites occidentales, l'essor du libertarianisme, la réaction européenne face au trumpisme et ses propres dérives.

In this urgent and eye-opening book, journalist Jan Jekielek distills decades of investigations from reputable sources, combined with his own research and in-depth firsthand insight, into a compelling case for rethinking our approach to the CCP. Through the lens of grave human rights abuses—most disturbingly, the state-sanctioned harvesting of organs from prisoners of conscience—Jekielek exposes the inner workings of a regime built on deception, coercion, and control.

When states die, there are massive consequences. Somalia's death in 1991 created a safe haven for criminal non-state actors and has unsettled the Horn of Africa for decades. When the Iraqi state was dismantled in 2003, a similar set of consequences plagued the Middle East and the international...

In 1947, the Indian subcontinent was partitioned, and Pakistan was born. A shared heritage, a composite culture and centuries-old bonds between people, all seemed to vanish overnight. Nowhere was this rupture more profound than in the Indus Basin—once a unified lifeline of the region, now...

Jon Lee Anderson first reported from Afghanistan in the late 1980s, covering the US-backed mujahideen’s insurrection against the Soviet-backed regime in Kabul. Within days of the 9/11 attacks, he was again on the ground as an early eyewitness to the new war launched by the US against the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies. Soon, the American military had prevailed on the battlefield, and the newfound peace seemed to offer a precious space for Afghan society to restore itself and to forge a democratic future.
