Future War and the Defence of Europe offers a major new analysis of how peace and security can be maintained in Europe: a continent that has suffered two cataclysmic conflicts since 1914. Taking as its starting point the COVID-19 pandemic and way it will inevitably accelerate some key global dynamics already in play, the book goes on to weave history, strategy, policy, and technology into a compelling analytical narrative. It lays out in forensic detail the scale of the challenge Europeans and their allies face if Europe's peace is to be upheld in a transformative century. 

Der Westen ist am Ende. Es ist spät, wahrscheinlich sogar schon zu spät, um noch eine andere Richtung einzuschlagen, und niemand weiß, was aus dem Zusammenprall zwischen dem politisch korrekten Denken und der Wirklichkeit entstehen wird. Und trotzdem müssen wir weiterleben: leben mit dem Niedergang Europas; leben mit der Gewissheit, dass morgen schlimmer sein wird als heute; leben mit dem Wissen, dass die Tage der abendländischen Zivilisation, so wie wir sie heute kennen, gezählt sind.

Ireland is Britain's closest neighbour - the sea crossing from Scotland measures only 12 miles. It was also its first captive in what became Britain's empire. The two nation's stories have been intertwined since Anglo-Norman invaders crossed the Irish Sea during the 12th century. These Troubled Isles tells the extraordinary history of the past century in this tumultuous relationship, from the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1922 to the present day.

In an era of seemingly instant change, it's easy to think that today's revolutions - in communications, business, and many areas of daily life - are unprecedented. Today's changes may be new and may be happening faster than ever before. But our ancestors at times were just as bewildered by rapid upheavals in what we now call “networks” - the physical links that bind any society together.

Seit 2020 werden wir aus einem fatalen Nickerchen wachgerüttelt. Zu gemütlich hatten wir es uns während der letzten 50 Jahre in Selbstverständlichkeiten gemacht, die die Krisenherde unserer Welt ausblendeten. Indset argumentiert für eine Neu- und Wiederentdeckung des Denkens. Eines Denkens, das unsere Grundhaltungen hinterfragt und Veränderungen nicht nur zulässt, sondern begrüßt. Wir müssen uns öffnen für Paradoxien, für Gleichzeitigkeiten und das Unbekannte - um Wirkkräfte rechtzeitig zu erkennen und entsprechend zu handeln.

Age of Discovery explores a world on the brink of a new Renaissance and asks: how do we share more widely the benefits of unprecedented progress? How do we endure the inevitable tumult generated by accelerating change? How do we each thrive through this tangled, uncertain time? From gains in health, education, wealth and technology to crises of conflict, disease and mass migration, the similarities between today's world and that of the 15th century are both striking and prophetic: we have been here before.

Il futuro di una volta era migliore, oppure si guardava a esso con più ottimismo? Quali erano le condizioni di vita quando il futuro era più roseo? Se oggi il futuro appare peggiore, dobbiamo disperare, o consolarci pensando che viviamo molto meglio di ieri? Dobbiamo rallegrarci di vivere in un Paese pacifico e libero, dove lo Stato si dà carico del benessere dei cittadini e li assicura nei confronti di molti rischi, dove tutti possono fruire dei benefici del progresso tecnologico, che fa parte della ristretta schiera delle nazioni sviluppate?

Tras la conquista musulmana de la Península Ibérica, y ante el intento del Islam por conquistar Francia, El Imperio Caolingio intervino en el noreste de España a fines del siglo VIII, usando a su favor el apoyo de la población autóctona de las montañas, de mayoría cristiana, para hacer frente al peligro musulmán. De esa coyuntura nación la futura Marca Hispánica, que sería importantísima para fundar las bases de la futura identidad española. ¡Adquiérala ya!
