With the end of the Cold War, the victory of liberal democracy was thought to be absolute. Observers declared the end of history, confident in a peaceful, globalized future. But we now know this to be premature. Authoritarianism first returned in Russia, as Putin developed a political system...

Aimé Césaire eloquently describes the brutal impact of capitalism and colonialism on both the colonizer and colonized, exposing the contradictions and hypocrisy implicit in western notions of progress and civilization upon encountering the savage, uncultured, or primitive. Here, Césaire reaffirms African values, identity, and culture, and their relevance, reminding us that the relationship between consciousness and reality are extremely complex.

Depuis le 24 février 2022, 6 heures du matin, on ne voit plus le président de l'Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, qu'en pantalon de treillis, tee-shirt et veste kaki. Malgré les tentatives d'assassinat, il reste à Bankova, le siège de la présidence en plein coeur de Kyiv, la capitale ukrainienne. Le décor pompeux de l'édifice est devenu surréaliste : des sacs de sable obstruent les fenêtres, les gardes du corps ont troqué leurs costumes pour des gilets pare-balles.

Über das letzte Jahrhundert hinweg hat sich die Menschheit Hunger, Seuchen und Kriegen erfolgreich gestellt. Aus Erfolg wird Ehrgeiz: als nächstes stehen Unsterblichkeit, grenzenloses Glück und gottgleiche Schöpfungskräfte auf der To-Do-Liste. Die Verfolgung dieser Ziele wird die meisten Menschen allerdings überflüssig machen. Also bleiben Fragen: Wohin führt unser Weg? Wie können wir unsere Zukunft bestmöglich beeinflussen?

In The Revenge of Geography, Robert D. Kaplan builds on the insights, discoveries, and theories of great geographers and geopolitical thinkers of the near and distant past to look back at critical pivots in history and then to look forward at the evolving global scene. Kaplan traces the history of the world's hot spots by examining their climates, topographies, and proximities to other embattled lands.

From the KGB to the Kremlin: a multidimensional portrait of the man at war with the West. Where do Vladimir Putin's ideas come from? How does he look at the outside world? What does he want, and how far is he willing to go? The great lesson of the outbreak of World War I in 1914 was the danger...

D’où vient le jihadisme ? Où va-t-il ? Depuis l’effondrement de Daech en Syrie, ces interrogations semblent avoir disparu du débat public. Certes, les affaires qui émaillent tragiquement l’actualité rappellent que le sujet du terrorisme islamiste est loin d’être réglé. Mais en dehors des attentats, il est urgent de comprendre ce qui a permis au jihadisme de devenir, en l’espace d’une génération, un enjeu politique, sociétal et démocratique de premier plan. Hugo Micheron retrace avec précision ce qu’est le jihadisme depuis 1989, au-delà de la simple menace sécuritaire et du seul cas de la France.

La visión sobre China de una de las grandes figuras de la política internacional en la segunda mitad del siglo XX y Premio Nobel de la Paz.

Iran presents one of the most significant foreign policy challenges for America and the West, yet very little is known about what the country's goals really are. Vali Nasr examines Iran's political history in new ways to explain its actions and ambitions on the world stage, showing how, behind the veneer of theocracy and Islamic ideology, today's Iran is pursuing a grand strategy aimed at securing the country internally and asserting its place in the region and the world.

March 2028: Russian troops capture the small Estonian town of Narva and the island of Hiiumaa in the Baltic Sea. After victory in Ukraine, Putin's long-mooted encroachment into the Baltic states has begun. Europe's slow rearmament and its compromised military and intelligence capabilities is now clear for its enemies to exploit. Does Article 5 of NATO apply? What will the alliance decide? Will they risk nuclear war?

"A history, an analysis, and a set of prescriptions for the greatest geopolitical challenge of our time: the threat to the democratic world posed by China and Russia." —Anne Applebaum, author of Autocracy, Inc. "A monumental account of contemporary geopolitics"—Francis Fukuyama, author of...

Throughout the post-Mao reform era, China has championed the principle of sovereign state control, which holds that states should not intervene in the affairs of other states. Yet, as Tim Nicholas Rühlig argues in China's Foreign Policy Contradictions, in recent years they have not actually acted this way. Chinese foreign policy actions fail to match up with official rhetoric, and these inconsistencies - in combination with China's growing power - will have dramatic effects on the future shape of international order.

In einer Welt des rapiden machtpolitischen und technologischen Wandels müssen sich Deutschland und Europa strategisch neu orientieren: Im Wettkampf zwischen den USA und China gerät Europa bereits zwischen die Fronten. Und dies wird auch unser Verhältnis zu Russland verändern müssen. Jetzt ist ein nüchterner, illusionsloser Blick auf die neuen Realitäten notwendig, wie Klaus von Dohnanyi zeigt: Auf "Wertegemeinschaften" oder "Freundschaften" können wir nicht vertrauen, Deutschland und Europa müssen vielmehr offen ihre eigenen, wohl verstandenen Interessen formulieren und mit Realismus verfolgen.

Face à la violence de la compétition économique, parler de bonheur, de bienveillance et de solidarité peut sembler naïf, voire utopique. Le but de ce livre audio est de montrer qu'au contraire l'humanisme a toute sa place au sein de l'entreprise, y compris dans les plus grosses structures. Jacques Lecomte nous fait découvrir des centaines d'études scientifiques passionnantes qui prouvent même que ces valeurs sont bénéfiques. Il a rencontré et interviewé de nombreux managers d'entreprises numéro un dans leur domaine.

This is the book the CIA does not want you to read. For the last 60 years, the CIA has maintained a formidable reputation in spite of its terrible record, never disclosing its blunders to the American public. It spun its own truth to the nation while reality lay buried in classified archives. Now, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Tim Weiner offers a stunning indictment of the CIA, a deeply flawed organization that has never deserved America's confidence.

In The Next 100 Years, Friedman turns his eye on the future. Drawing on a profound understanding of history and geopolitical patterns dating back to the Roman Empire, he shows that we are now, for the first time in half a millennium, experiencing the dawn of a new historical cycle.
