It is worse, much worse, than you think. The slowness of climate change is a fairy tale, perhaps as pernicious as the one that says it isn't happening at all, and if your anxiety about it is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible, even within the lifetime of a teenager today.

In the wake of the 2008 financial crash, Daniel W. Drezner, like so many others, looked at the smoking ruins of the global economy and wondered why global economic governance structure had failed so spectacularly, and what could be done to reform them in the future. But then a funny thing happened. As he surveyed their actions in the wake of the crash, he realized that the evidence pointed to the exact opposite conclusion: global economic governance had succeeded.

Adolf Hitler is one of the most studied men in history, and yet the most important things we think we know about him are wrong. As Brendan Simms' major new biography shows, Hitler's main preoccupation was not, as widely believed, the threat of Bolshevism but that of international capitalism and Anglo-America. These two fears drove both his anti-Semitism and his determination to secure the 'living space' necessary to survive in a world dominated by the British Empire and the United States.

Our world order is under pressure as never before. From new authoritarian regimes in the US, Turkey and Russia to the imminent breakup of the European Union and a social media awash with intolerance, things look set to fall apart just as abruptly as the Soviet Union did some 30 years ago. How did we get here, and what do we do now? In this searching new exploration of our crisis, Paul Mason argues that at its heart lies an attack on the idea of humanity itself.

CNN’s chief national security correspondent reveals the invisible fronts of 21st-century warfare and identifies the ongoing battles being waged - often without the public’s full knowledge - from disinformation campaigns to advanced satellite weaponry.

In this incisive, fast-paced history, New York Times best-selling author Arthur Herman brilliantly reveals how Lenin and Wilson rewrote the rules of modern geopolitics. Through the end of World War I, countries marched into war only to increase or protect their national interests. After World War I, countries began going to war over ideas. Together, Lenin and Wilson unleashed the disruptive ideologies that would sweep the world, from nationalism and globalism to Communism and terrorism, and that continue to shape our world today.

In How to Draw a Map, father and son cartographers Alexander and Malcolm Swanston demonstrate the skill, creativity and care involved in the timeless art of creating maps - and what these artefacts reveal about the legion of mapmakers who went before us.

Imperien entstehen, verfallen und fallen. Die Geschichte hat diesen Zyklus mit den Römern, den Osmanen und den Briten miterlebt. Alle sind zusammengebrochen, und wenn wir nicht aufpassen, werden die USA als nächstes dran sein. Viele der heutigen Unternehmen sind eine Gruppe von finanztechnischen Fröschen, die extrem abhängig von Schulden sind, die im lauwarmen Schlangenöl versinken. Leider werden viele ihr Verschwinden in den Fängen der Geier der PI finden.

Los imperios surgen, declinan y caen. La historia ha sido testigo de este ciclo con los romanos, los otomanos y los británicos. Todos se han derrumbado y, si no tenemos cuidado, Estados Unidos será el próximo. Muchas de las empresas de hoy son un grupo de ranas de ingeniería financiera extremadamente adictas a las deudas que se hunden en el tibio aceite de serpiente. Desafortunadamente, muchos encontrarán su desaparición en las garras de los buitres de la PI.

Os impérios sobem, descem e caem. A história tem testemunhado este ciclo com os romanos, os otomanos e os britânicos. Todos caíram, e se não tivermos cuidado, os EUA serão os próximos. Muitas das empresas de hoje são um bando de sapos da engenharia financeira extrema viciados em dívidas se debatendo em óleo de cobra tépido. Infelizmente, muitos encontrarão sua morte nas garras dos abutres da Propriedade Intelectual.

Empires rise, decline, and fall. History has witnessed this cycle with the Romans, the Ottomans, and the British. They have all toppled, and if we are not careful, the US will be the next. Many of today’s enterprises are a gaggle of debt-addicted extreme financial engineering frogs floundering in tepid snake oil. Unfortunately, many will find their demise in the clutches of IP vultures.

In this gripping essay, Hugh White explores Australia’s fateful choice to back America to the hilt and oppose China. What led both sides of politics to align with America so absolutely? Is this a case of sleepwalking to war? What tests might a new government face? White assesses America’s credibility and commitment, by examining AUKUS, the Quad, Trump and Biden. He discusses what the Ukraine conflict tells us about the future. And he argues that the US can neither contain China nor win a war over Taiwan. So where does this leave our future security and prosperity in Asia?

Too often, we are told that Russia plays a weak hand well. But, perhaps the nation's cards are better than we know. Russia ranks behind the US and China by traditional measures of power: GDP, population size and health, and military might. Yet twenty-five years removed from its mid-1990s nadir following the collapse of the USSR, Russia has become a supremely disruptive force in world politics. Kathryn E. Stoner assesses the resurrection of Russia and argues that we should look beyond traditional means of power to assess its strength in global affairs.

China GDP has grown from $300 per capita to more than $10,000 in the past thirty years and lifted more people into the middle class than in any other country at any other point in human history. It is important for investors, US companies and anyone interested in the global economy to understand China. Author Jonathan A. Krane provides an inside look at China's transformation into a global superpower and explains why the relationship between the US and China is the most critical economic relationship in the world today.

Wie sauber ist unsere Mobilitätswende wirklich? Es ist ein Rohstoff, der unseren batteriebetriebenen Alltag am Laufen hält: Kobalt. Abgebaut wird es überwiegend in der Demokratischen Volksrepublik Kongo – unter dramatischen Menschenrechtsverletzungen. Welche Industrie steckt hinter unseren sauberen E-Autos, Smartphones und Laptops? Der Wirtschaftswissenschaftler und Aktivist Siddharth Kara ist auf seinen Reisen in die von Milizen kontrollierten Bergbauregionen bis tief in das finstere Herz unseres fossilen Kapitalismus vorgedrungen.

Reconstruction chronicles the way in which Americans—black and white—responded to the unprecedented changes unleashed by the war and the end of slavery. It addresses the ways in which the emancipated slaves' quest for economic autonomy and equal citizenship shaped the political agenda of Reconstruction; the remodeling of Southern society and the place of planters, merchants, and small farmers within it; the evolution of racial attitudes and patterns of race relations; and the emergence of a national state possessing vastly expanded authority and committed.
