The world today is gripped by conflict at a scale not seen since the Cold War. Whether in Ukraine, the Middle East or Taiwan, we are in a period of intense power competition. In Statecraft, Dr Jack Watling takes you into wood-panelled offices to meet the world’s powerbrokers, or the bunkers from which battles are coordinated, and explains the mechanics behind these struggles for supremacy.

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in a bloody escalation of a conflict that had begun eight years earlier. What drove Vladimir Putin to launch Europe's largest land war since World War II?

This book tells the story of the lead-up to the invasion with revelatory detail and fresh analysis, shedding new light on a conflict that has roiled the post–Cold War order.

When it comes to global dominance, military technology has always been a major geopolitical driver. For decades, the West set the rules on innovation using soft power and government funding to develop its own exclusive cutting-edge defensive capabilities. But in the digital era, the breakthroughs - be it AI systems and autonomous drones, satellite internet or advanced semiconductors - are coming from private companies, not government labs. In Bytes and Bullets, Steven Feldstein explains how technology is transforming geopolitics, upending the ways that countries compete, and how they wage war.

In The New Censorship esteemed academic, former journalist and activist Ayala Panievsky focuses on the unfortunate and unexpected mechanisms through which today's media has inadvertently amplified the anti-democratic movement that looms over our societies.

'Frontierlands' are Britain's forgotten places, ripe for reinvention. Once economic engines, they are the outposts that investors and the state have forgotten: silt-filled harbours, overgrown forests, sunken railway tracks and empty buildings. They are the symptoms of an ever more centralised country but they are home to local communities, and among these, pioneers, working together to repair and rebuild.

Cats, the original masters of stealth, sass, and strategic chaos, have been teaching us survival tactics for centuries-they just haven't been this explicit about it. Until now. Lessons from Cats for Surviving Fascism lays out the nine essential feline strategies for toppling tyranny.

Black Revolutionaries is an accessible yet rigorously argued history of the Black Panther Party (BPP), one of the emblematic organizations of the 1960s. Joe Street highlights the complexity of the BPP's history through three key themes: the BPP's intellectual history, its political and social activism, and the persecution its members endured. Together, these themes confirm the BPP's importance in understanding Black America's response to white oppression in the 1960s and 1970s.

In Politics Without Politicians, acclaimed political theorist Hélène Landemore lays out a radical idea: What if we didn’t need politicians at all? What if everyday people—under the right conditions—could govern better than the elites in office? Landemore dismantles the myths that keep power in the hands of the few—the claim that ordinary people are too biased, too ignorant, too easily swayed. The truth? Politicians have the same flaws, but with far greater incentives to serve special interests.

One of Maya Rupert’s earliest memories was learning how to be inauthentic. That performance—the ability to make white people feel comfortable about race—has brought her everything from safety to success. As the third Black woman in history to run a presidential campaign, she soon realized that there was no room among society’s expectations for our real selves. In The Real Ones, Rupert reveals that for some, inauthenticity is necessary for survival.

Loubna Mrie was raised a staunch Syrian Alawite—a member of the same insular, historically oppressed Muslim sect as then-President Hafez al-Assad. Her mother’s father helped plan the coup that saw Hafez seize power in 1970 and bring the Alawites out of hiding and into a position of total control; her father was intimately involved in Hafez’s government as an enforcer and assassin. In her household and community at large, the president was seen less as a political figure and more as an object of near-religious devotion.

While coordinating operations against al-Qaeda during the Bush administration, Buck Sexton became obsessed with figuring out how anyone could comply with an evil regime. Now, Manufacturing Delusion is the result of his search for an answer. In it, he finds that the mind-control tactics which compelled religious zealots to murder and suicide have been weaponized by tyrannical leaders throughout history to create compliant citizens.

A former public defender takes us behind the closed doors of America's criminal courts, revealing how the institutions that claim to protect us are doing the exact opposite—and offering a blueprint for finally fixing it.

The January 6th insurrection was a stunning and unprecedented attack on the center of American government. Unlike previous national traumas that united the country in the face of turmoil, the siege has only further divided Americans, as many continue to dispute the facts and downplay its significance.

Derrick Bell is perhaps best known for the principled stand he took at Harvard in 1990 when he quit his tenured position on the law-school faculty to protest the school's failure to grant tenure to a black woman. Now a visiting professor at New York Law School, Bell is still deeply interested in issues of race relations and has chosen to explore the subject fictionally in "Afrolantica Legacies." In a nutshell, the story goes like this: a mysterious land mass suddenly appears in the Atlantic Ocean, a fabulous island on which only black people can survive.

Born on a Montana ranch in 1880, Jeannette Rankin knew how to ride a horse, make a fire, and read the sky for weather. But most of all, she knew how to talk to people, how to convince them of her vision for America. It was this rare skill that led her, in 1916, to become the first woman ever elected to the House of Representatives. As her first act, Rankin introduced the legislation that would become the 19th Amendment. Throughout her two terms in 1916 and 1940, she continued to introduce and pass legislation benefiting unions, protecting workers, and increasing aid for children in poverty.

Global neoliberalism is on its last legs, as a new international economic order takes hold: trade blocs, tariff wars, economic sanctions, and national champions are in; nationalism, anti-immigration movements, and the far-right are on the rise. Liberalism is being rejected by the civic realm, as the status quo of the past fifty years crumbles. Drawing on original research, leading economist Branko Milanovic reveals the seismic shifts that are shaping our world.

After some time in care, Gamal returned to his biological family, only to be taken away again at sixteen. This time to the entirely unknown landscape of Lagos, Nigeria.

On aurait tort de considérer le XIXe siècle comme lointain ou révolu. Sur bien des points, comme l'intense politisation des sociétés européennes, la diversité des pratiques de mobilisation et de contestation, l'inventivité idéologique et culturelle, la réflexion critique sur la modernité et le progrès, cette période est un laboratoire riche d'expériences et d'enseignements. Restituer les grandes dynamiques et tensions politiques qui la traversent permet non seulement de mieux comprendre les formes du changement historique, mais aussi de se repérer dans un présent incertain.
