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 Bloody Foreigners and The Last Wolf, Robert Winder explored the way Britain was shaped first by migration and then by hidden geographical factors. Now, in Soft Power he explores the way modern states are asserting themselves not through traditional realpolitik but through alternative means: business, language, culture, ideas, sport, education, music, even food...the texture and values of history and daily life.

The astonishing true story of a US Army Special Forces soldier who became a warrior for peace. In his humanitarian and peacekeeping missions for the United Nations he dealt with child-soldiers, blood diamonds, a double hostage-taking, an invasion by brutal guerrillas, an emergency aerial evacuation, a desperate hostage recovery mission, tribal gun fights, refugee camp violence, suicide bombings, and institutional corruption. His UN career brought him face to face with the best and worst of humanity and he shares it all here.

Les traumatismes du nationalisme arabe – Pour comprendre la situation complexe du Moyen Orient aujourd'hui il faut revenir à l'histoire et aux traumatismes successifs du nationalisme arabe qu'ont été le colonialisme européen, les défaites successives contre l'État d'Israël et plus récemment l'invasion américaine de l'Irak. L'islamisme radical relais du nationalisme - Cet enregistrement offre le recul et les clés pour déchiffrer le présent et comprendre l'émergence de l'islamisme religieux supranational et radical d'aujourd'hui qui a en grande partie pris le relais du nationalisme arabe laïc.

The highest-ranking Soviet bloc intelligence official ever to defect to the West, Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa is at it again. A quarter century ago, in his international bestseller Red Horizons, Pacepa exposed the massive crimes and corruption of his former boss, Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu, giving the dictator a nervous breakdown and inspiring him to send assassination squads to the U.S. to find his former spy chief and kill him. They failed.

Tarile si natiunile sunt diferite. Asemanatoare si diferite. România intra si ea, fireste, în acest joc al asemanarilor si deosebirilor. Nu cumva este totusi si mai diferita? Cu alte cuvinte, nu se situeaza oare mai "excentric", sub tot felul de aspecte, în raport cu ceea ce ar fi o medie sau o relativa normalitate europeana? Modul extravagant în care s-a derulat psihodrama politica din vara anului 2012 a lasat impresia ca tara e defecta.

Fukuyama examines the effects of corruption on governance, and why some societies have been successful at rooting it out. He explores the different legacies of colonialism in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and offers a clear-eyed account of why some regions have thrived and developed more quickly than others. And he boldly reckons with the future of democracy in the face of a rising global middle class and entrenched political paralysis in the West.

Was macht die Ukraine aus? Erst mit der russischen Annexion der Krim entwickelte sich ein Bewusstsein für die Eigenständigkeit dieses Landes, das nach dem Willen der Aggressoren nun von der Landkarte verschwinden soll.

It feels like the world is falling apart. So how do we keep hold of our optimism? How do we nurture the parts of ourselves that hope, trust and believe in something better? And how can we stay sane in this world of division? In this beautifully written and illuminating polemic, Booker Prize nominee Elif Shafak reflects on our age of pessimism, when emotions guide and misguide our politics and misinformation and fear are the norm.

In Wars of Ambition, Afshon Ostovar explores the evolution of the metastasizing conflict as it unfolded over a span of more than two decades. Not just an account of the interaction between America’s Middle East policies and ambitious regional states on the receiving end, it also provides a powerful analysis of conflicting visions of the future that transcend regional politics.

In 2014, Francis Fukuyama wrote that American institutions were in decay, as the state was progressively captured by powerful interest groups. Two years later, his predictions were borne out by the rise to power of a series of political outsiders whose economic nationalism and authoritarian tendencies threatened to destabilize the entire international order. These populist nationalists seek direct charismatic connection to “the people”, who are usually defined in narrow identity terms that offer an irresistible call to an in-group and exclude large parts of the population as a whole.
