Henry Kissinger offers in World Order a deep meditation on the roots of international harmony and global disorder. Drawing on his experience as one of the foremost statesmen of the modern era Kissinger now reveals his analysis of the ultimate challenge for the 21st century: How to build a shared international order in a world of divergent historical perspectives, violent conflict, proliferating technology, and ideological extremism.

La Cina è davvero "vicina" come recitava il titolo di un vecchio film d'autore? No, sostiene Giada Messetti nel suo "Nella testa del Dragone". È, anzi, molto lontana. Soprattutto, è diversa. Perché ― continua l'autrice, sinologa, che in Cina ha vissuto sei anni ― esistono dieci, cento, mille Cine. Esplorarle è come fare un viaggio su una macchina del tempo, passando da villaggi remoti rimasti all'epoca preindustriale a smart city avveniristiche dove, fermo al semaforo in motorino, può capitare che un drone ti intimi di indossare il casco se vuoi evitare una multa salata.

À seulement 32 ans, Ahmad Massoud, le fils du rebelle assassiné, représente un véritable recours contre l'obscurantisme. Héritier des batailles menées par le célèbre Lion du Panchir, figure charismatique de la résistance afghane contre les Soviétiques assassinée le 9 septembre 2001, Ahmad a relevé le défi. Depuis la chute de Kaboul le 15 août dernier, il a lancé un front de la résistance afghane et plaide pour la lutte contre le fanatisme islamiste, dont les porte-étendards sont non seulement les talibans mais aussi les militants d'Al Qaïda et de l'État Islamique.

Pilotée par le consortium Forbidden Stories, ce livre est une enquête sur le scandale du logiciel Pegasus que de nombreux Etats, comme le Maroc, le Mexique ou les Emirats arabes unis, ont utilisé pour espionner en toute illégalité des journalistes, des militants ou des responsables politiques.

"Kampen om Taiwans demokrati" giver et enestående indblik i det, der kan blive verdens næste geopolitiske brændpunkt. Kina-ekspert og tidligere topdiplomat Jonas Parello-Plesner er rejst til Taiwan for at undersøge, hvordan taiwanerne oplever landets konflikt med sin store nabo, Kina. Kinas præsident, Xi Jinping, ser det som sit prestigeprojekt at indlemme Taiwan i fastlands-Kina. ”At samle moderlandet,” lyder sloganet, og 2027 er sat som tidsfrist for et angreb fra Kina.

Europa im Spannungsfeld zwischen China, Russland und den USA. Weltmacht, Wirtschaftsmacht, wachsende Spannungen in den internationalen Beziehungen: China erzeugt in Europa zunehmend Angst. Doch das muss nicht sein, zeigt Susanne Weigelin-Schwiedrzik: Europa, so der überraschende Befund, ist im geopolitischen Kräfte- und Mächtespiel zwischen China, USA und Russland der versteckte Akteur, der durchaus entscheidend sein kann.

The United States is being bombarded with cyber-attacks. From the surge in ransomware groups targeting critical infrastructure to nation states compromising the software supply chain and corporate email servers, malicious cyber activities have reached an all-time high. Russia attracts the most attention, but China is vastly more sophisticated. They have a common interest in exploiting the openness of the Internet and social media—and our democracy—to erode confidence in our institutions and to exacerbate our societal rifts to prevent us from mounting an effective response.

Lange galt China als eine Art sanfter, schlafender Riese. Zwar war das politische System und dessen Menschenrechtsverletzungen nur schwer vereinbar mit westlichen demokratischen Werten, doch man setzte auf das Prinzip »Wandel durch Handel«. China würde sich mit steigendem Wohlstand schon öffnen. Doch das Gegenteil ist eingetreten: China verschließt sich nach außen, hat aber enorm an wirtschaftlichen und politischen Einfluss gewonnen. Bereits seit 2013 schafft die kommunistische Partei mit Krediten, Investitionen und Entwicklungsprojekten neue Absatzmärkte und hat neue Seidenstraßen erschlossen.

Acclaimed historian Edward Gray offers the first comprehensive narrative of the America's defining border. Formalized in 1767, the Mason-Dixon Line resolved a generations-old dispute that began with the establishment of Pennsylvania in 1681. In 1780, Pennsylvania's Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery inaugurated the next phase in the Line's history. Proslavery and antislavery sentiments had long coexisted in the Maryland-Pennsylvania borderlands, but now African Americans faced a boundary between distinct legal regimes.

The Achilles Trap masterfully untangles the people, ploys of power and geopolitics that led to America's disastrous war with Iraq and, for the first time, details America's fundamental miscalculations during its ruinous, decades-long relationship with Saddam Hussein. Beginning with Saddam's rise to power in 1979 and the birth of Iraq's secret nuclear weapons programme, Steve Coll traces Saddam's motives through understanding his inner circle. He brings to life the diplomats, scientists, family members and generals who had no choice but to defer to their leader.

The situation in Cuba is a disaster. The only income is two billion received from sending their supposed doctors to communist countries in Latin America. Many of those doctors are spies. Another billion comes from exiles in Miami. That must stop. The total GNP of Cuba is four billion, which cannot remotely support the population of Cuba. They don't have food or medicine and demonstrate every night against the dictatorship

We hear all the time that we're moments from doomsday. Around us, crises interlock and escalate, threatening our collective survival. Protestors and politicians repeatedly call for action, but still we continue to drift towards disaster. We need to do something. But what if the only way for us to prevent catastrophe is to assume that it has already happened - to accept that we're already five minutes past zero hour? Too Late to Awaken sees Slavoj Žižek forge a vital new space for a radical emancipatory politics that could avert our course to self-destruction.

Just a few years ago, people spoke of the US as a hyperpower—a titan stalking the world stage with more relative power than any empire in history. Yet as early as 1993, CIA director James Woolsey pointed out that although Western powers had "slain a large dragon" by defeating the Soviet Union in the Cold War, they now faced a "variety of poisonous snakes." In The Dragons and the Snakes, the eminent soldier-scholar David Kilcullen asks how, and what, opponents of the West have learned during the last quarter-century of conflict.

On December 1, 2018, Meng Wanzhou, daughter of Ren Zhengfei, founder and CEO of China's most powerful company, Huawei Technologies, was detained at the request of U.S. authorities as she prepared to board a flight out of Vancouver, Canada. The detention of Huawei's female scion set the U.S.-China trade skirmish on fire - and, for the first time, revealed the Ren family's prominence in Beijing's power structure. In The Listening State, acclaimed Washington Post reporter Eva Dou exposes the untold story of the rise of Ren Zhengfei and the mysterious family dynasty at the center of Huawei.
