In 16 extended talks with Alternative Radio's David Barsamian, Noam Chomsky explains why the 'war on drugs' is really a war on poor people, how attacks on political correctness are attacks on independent thought, how historical revisionism has recast the United States as the victim in the Vietnam War. Widely recognised as one of the most original and important thinkers of our age, Chomsky's trenchant analysis of current events is a breath of fresh air in a world more and more polluted by mainstream media.

Are you tired of hearing people constantly complain and moan about a world problem but offer you no solutions as to what you can do to help resolve this issue? Can you tell what problem I am talking about yet? Of course, I am talking about manufactured scarcity. Anyone who vaguely follows this topic will know that it is consistently increasing in the US, but many don’t know that it is also increasing across most other countries.

In Americans in China, Terry Lautz provides a series of biographical portraits of Americans who have lived and worked in China from before the Communist era to the present. The pathbreaking experiences of these men and women provide unique insights and deeply human perspectives on issues that have shaped US engagement with the People's Republic: politics, diplomacy, education, business, art, law, journalism, and human rights.

We owe it to our fellow humans - and other species - to save them from the catastrophic harm caused by climate change. Philosopher Elizabeth Cripps approaches climate justice not just as an abstract idea but as something that should motivate us all. Using clear reasoning and poignant examples, starting from irrefutable science and uncontroversial moral rules, she explores our obligations to each other and to the non-human world, unravels the legacy of colonialism and entrenched racism, and makes the case for immediate action.

So viel Geopolitik war noch nie, so viel Nachhaltigkeit war noch nie, so viel Technologie war noch nie - Entscheidungsträger in Politik und Unternehmen müssen sich mit neuen globalen Dynamiken auseinandersetzen, um die Wirtschaft wetterfest zu machen gegenüber internationalen Spannungen, fortschreitendendem Klimawandel, gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen und rasanten Innovationszyklen. Katrin Suder und Jan F. Kallmorgen schildern die komplexen politischen Zusammenhänge und geben praktische Handlungsempfehlungen, um die neuen Risiken der 2020er Jahre vorausschauend zu managen.

The United States national-security establishment is vast, yet the United States has failed to meet its initial objectives in almost every one of its major, post-World War II conflicts. Of these troubled efforts, the US wars in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan stand out for their endurance, resource investment, human cost, and miscalculated decisions. In Planning to Fail, James H. Lebovic argues that a profound myopia helps explain US decision-making failures. In each of the wars explored in this book, he identifies four stages of intervention.

In this incisive audiobook, Peter Hartcher reveals how decades of economic dependence left Australia open to the strategic ambitions of the most successful authoritarian regime in modern history. He shows how ideology, paranoia and Xi Jinping’s personal story have reshaped China and shines new light on Beijing’s overt and covert campaign for influence - over trade and defence, media and politics.

Alle kan huske, dengang Donald Trump ville købe Grønland. Præsidenten for verdens mest magtfulde nation tilbød at købe hele Grønland, inklusive de 56.000 børn, mænd og kvinder. Men hvad lå der bag det overrumplende købstilbud?

Voilà deux siècles que la civilisation industrielle libère les hommes de la misère. Mais les apôtres de l'écologie radicale accusent les sociétés modernes d'avoir acheté leur confort au détriment de l'environnement, quitte à dépeindre le passé comme le paradis perdu qu'il n'a jamais été.

"Questo libro è un viaggio nel grande paradosso di una sfida planetaria. Vi racconto una faccia della Cina troppo nascosta e inquietante, che l'élite occidentale ha deciso di non vedere. Rivelo il gioco dei corsi e ricorsi, tra due superpotenze che si studiano e si copiano a vicenda. E spiego il Nuovo Grande Esperimento Americano, che tenta di invertire il corso della storia prima che sia troppo tardi." Federico Rampini racconta una sfida fatta anche di contaminazione reciproca, perché alcuni problemi sono simili.

Nata in un piccolo paese vicino Tianjin tre mesi prima del massacro di piazza Tienanmen del 4 giugno 1989, Karoline Kan ci racconta la sua storia, e la storia della sua generazione, stretta tra la politica autoritaria cinese, il boom economico e il rapidissimo sviluppo tecnologico. Karoline, trent'anni, rientra a pieno diritto nella generazione dei millennial, e da quel punto di vista ci rivela ciò che lei e tre generazioni della sua famiglia hanno vissuto sulla propria pelle.

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.

This book investigates the reasons why the American involvement in Afghanistan was doomed to fail - and examines a chief reason for this, which was the political support in Afghanistan for the Taliban....

De Saint-Germain-des-Prés aux chaînes d'info en continu, l'intellectuel français est auréolé d'un pouvoir singulier. Défenseur des opprimés ou décrypteur de l'actualité, militant des causes perdues ou expert au discours ciselé, il occupe, au pays de Descartes, où l'on aime à théoriser, une place à part. Crise financière, attentats islamistes, poussée migratoire, montée des populismes, féminismes, épidémie... L'histoire est de retour, les idées gouvernent de nouveau le monde.

"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.

A trent'anni dalla fine della guerra fredda, l'equilibrio mondiale non e mai stato così a rischio. Il presidente degli Stati Uniti si è ritirato dal trattato di disarmo con la Russia e ha abbandonato unilateralmente l'accordo sul nucleare iraniano, l'Europa pesa sempre meno sullo scacchiere internazionale e rischia di disintegrarsi, la Cina prende sempre più spazio e, a causa dell'epidemia di Covid-19, una crisi economica e sanitaria senza precedenti si è abbattuta su tutto il mondo.

For decades, the Navy has stood sentinel over crucial waterways, ensuring safe passage of goods from nearly all nations. The result is the longest phase of peace on the waters since the Phoenicians, with rising living standards, more (total) jobs, and the dramatic decline of poverty in Asia. But these prosperous times could be at an end. Today China is building warships at an extraordinary pace. India, Japan, Vietnam, and Europe are responding with more fighting ships. What will result from China’s rising naval might, particularly in the South China Sea?
