David Höner blickt zornig auf die Früchte der Globalisierung, die keinem schmecken.

Sabrina Mahfouz once sat in a Whitehall interview room and was interrogated about everything from her political leanings to her private life. It was ostensibly a job interview, but implicit in their demands was the unspoken question: as a woman of Middle Eastern heritage, could she really be trusted? Years later, Sabrina found herself confronting the meaning behind this interrogation, and how it was specifically informed by the British Empire's historical dominance in the Middle East.

The Vortex is the dramatic story of how that storm sparked a country to revolution.

After decades of peace and prosperity, the international order put in place after World War II is rapidly coming to an end. Disastrous foreign wars, global recession, the meteoric rise of China and India and the COVID pandemic have undermined the power of the West's international institutions and unleashed the forces of nationalism and protectionism. In this lucid and groundbreaking analysis, one of Britain's most experienced senior diplomats highlights the key dilemmas Britain faces.

"Hidden Champions" - das sind die Weltmarktführer, die kaum jemand kennt. Die meisten von ihnen sitzen nicht etwa im Silicon Valley, sondern in Deutschland, in Österreich und in der Schweiz.

Nach dem Export-Boom in den Jahren 1990-2010 sehen die Unternehmen sich heute vor großen neuen Herausforderungen.

The origins of COVID-19 are shrouded in mystery. Scientists and government officials insisted, for a year and a half, that the virus had a natural origin, ridiculing anyone who dared contradict this view. Tech giants swept the internet, censoring and silencing debate in the most extreme fashion. Yet it is undeniable that a secretive facility in Wuhan was immersed in genetically manipulating bat-coronaviruses in perilous experiments. And as soon as the news of an outbreak in Wuhan leaked, the Chinese military took control and gagged all laboratory insiders.

This audiobook provides a compelling argument for how and why US Immigration Policy is working against our own best interest. It explores why a bipartisan Startup Visa for foreign entrepreneurs, which the US Congress has repeatedly failed to approve, is now more crucial than ever. And it reaches back through the generations to acknowledge immigrants’ contributions to America. If we want a future of economic prosperity, the Startup Visa is essential for keeping America in this global race as the rest of the world is catching up, embracing the entrepreneurs we are turning away.

Henry Kissinger analyses the lives of six extraordinary leaders—Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew, and Margaret Thatcher—through the distinctive strategies of statecraft that he believes they embodied. To each of these studies, Kissinger brings historical perception, public experience and, because he knew each of the subjects and participated in many of the events he describes, personal knowledge.

Nascosta dall'ascesa dei populisti, un'onda di protesta popolare sta agitando il nostro pianeta. Da dove viene questo malcontento? E, soprattutto, dove porterà? Nadav Eyal, in un saggio appassionante come un'inchiesta, esamina le forze che stanno trasformando la nostra realtà economica, politica e culturale. Introduce i lettori alla "ribellione globale", un moto di rabbia che si è imposto progressivamente dall'Italia dell'antipolitica all'Europa della Brexit, dall'America di Trump al mondo intero assediato dalla pandemia.

"Nella mia vita di nomade non ho mai smesso la ricerca di radici. Immaginarie, costruite, conquistate. Ma indispensabili." Le austere memorie di Genova, le atmosfere nordiche di Bruxelles e le sorprese di Parigi, l'iniziazione all'Oriente in Indonesia, poi verso Ovest a respirare l'aria decadente di New York, lo spaesamento di San Francisco, a riscoprire un'armonia celeste di Pechino, i bambini del Sichuan, le case a fior d'acqua del Kerala, il destino marittimo di Tokyo, le sorgenti del Nilo... Tre oceani e quattro continenti.

Its vast infrastructure projects now extend from the ocean floor to outer space, and from Africa's megacities into rural America. China is wiring the world, and in doing so, rewriting the global order. As things stand, the rest of the world still has a choice. But the battle for tomorrow will require America and its allies to take daring risks in uncertain political terrain. Unchecked, China will reshape global flows of data to reflect its interests.
