Throughout history, the Indian Ocean has been an essential space for trade, commerce, and culture. Every European power has sought to dominate it. Now, after a lull in the postwar period, control of major shipping routes has once again become a critical aspect of every rising state's ambition to be a global power. Darshana M. Baruah shows how governments from Washington, DC, to Nairobi and Canberra are expanding their interests in the region.

The United States is in the midst of a new cold war with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and America is losing. That claim, at the core of Countering China's Great Game challenges the Washington, D.C. conventional wisdom about U.S.-China relations. Officials in Washington are reacting to the CCP and playing defense. Like America's efforts to contain the Soviet Union in the twentieth-century Cold War, the United States needs a strategic vision to overcome the CCP. Sobolik offers a plan for American victory over the CCP and presents a roadmap to sabotage the crux of the CCP's foreign policy.

The Apathy of Empire reveals just how significant Cambodia was to U.S. policy in Indochina during the Vietnam War, broadening the lens to include more than the often-cited incursion in 1970 or the illegal bombing after the Paris Peace Accords in 1973. This theoretically informed and thoroughly documented case study argues that U.S. military intervention in Cambodia revealed America's efforts to construct a hegemonic spatial world order.

Compelling and incisive, Autocracy 2.0 is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand China's meteoric rise and how today's autocrats are reshaping the technological frontier, governance, and the global balance of power.

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.

Cette “Histoire générale de la Chine” (Tome 1), d’Henri Cordier, offre une entrée magistrale dans la longue durée chinoise: elle démonte les mythes d’origines (influences égyptiennes, chaldéennes ou indiennes) et expose avec rigueur les débats savants sur la préhistoire, la langue et l’écriture, pour mieux situer la Chine dans l’histoire universelle sans la réduire à des fables ou à un isolement immuable.

Singapore appears to be transitioning gradually to a more competitive and contentious democracy. For now, though, the People’s Action Party still controls all the levers of power. The PAP’s internal dynamics will be the primary determinant of its continued viability. This anthology of essays...

Singapore’s 2020 general election saw its fair share of drama and comedy, and the results were not unexpected. But beyond the polls, the hard truth is impossible to avoid—the electoral system is in dire need of an overhaul. Former journalist and university lecturer Bertha Henson takes...

Durante i suoi ultimi viaggi avvenuti dopo la riapertura delle frontiere, Giada Messetti ha incontrato molte persone di diversa provenienza ed estrazione sociale. Ha così potuto appurare sul campo quante cose siano cambiate nella vita quotidiana dei cinesi: dall'atteggiamento dei giovani verso il lavoro e il loro futuro, alla nuova consapevolezza delle donne riguardo la famiglia e il loro ruolo tradizionale, fino alla voglia degli anziani di godersi gli anni della pensione.

習近平“赤い王朝”は崩壊する運命にある！?「歴史上、王朝を滅亡に導いた皇帝たちの行状の一つひとつを丹念に見ていくうちに、大変面白いことに気がついた。“亡国の君”たちが持つ人間性や性格上の欠陥、愚昧(ぐまい)さと狂気さ……それらのもののすべてが、習近平その人に集約されていたのだ」暴君・愚君・狂君・蕩君・暗君・無徳・無能……中国王朝が滅ぶ法則はこれだ！

Carne coltivata e cocktail di meduse, Big Data e intelligenza artificiale, aziende milionarie e sorveglianza, chirurgia da remoto e chip neurali, leggi anti fake news e deepfake. L'Asia è ormai una potenza demografica, economica, culturale e militare, che cresce a un ritmo serrato e dove ciò che accade spesso è soltanto un'anticipazione di quel che accadrà nelle nostre società occidentali. D'altronde, osserva Simone Pieranni, oggi in Asia si stanno discutendo, affrontando, e in alcuni casi risolvendo, temi e problemi di cui da tempo si dibatte anche da noi. Cosa mangeremo in futuro?

Accidental Tyrant serves as a stark cautionary tale, underscoring that the triumph of liberty is never guaranteed. Met with insufficient resistance, even the most unlikely leader can build a regime of repression and privation that long outlives its founder.

For Washington, China is a strategic competitor: the only country with both the will to reshape the world order and, increasingly, the means to do so. For Europe, the People's Republic is a "partner for cooperation, an economic competitor, and a systemic rival". For NATO, it is a "decisive enabler" of Russia's war against Ukraine. Yet Beijing's image is far more positive in the Global South, of which the PRC considers itself a part.
