The crisis of the world capitalist system and that of the Philippine ruling system have become worse than in any period after World War II. The US-instigated policies of neoliberal globalization, state terrorism, and aggressive war have wrought havoc on the lives of the people and continue to escalate oppression and exploitation. The Filipino people cannot tolerate their suffering, and they are fighting back against imperialism and all reaction.

In a world of border walls and obstacles to migration, a lottery where winners can gain permanent residency in the United States sounds too good to be true. Just as unlikely is the idea that the United States would make such visas available to foster diversity within a country where systemic racism endures. But in 1990, the United States Diversity Visa Lottery was created to do just that. Dreamland tells the surprising story of this unlikely government program and its role in American life as well as the global story of migration.

With a historian's eye and a theorist's ingenuity, Michael Doyle, whose writings on liberal peace have revolutionized modern statesmanship, cogently assesses the tectonic shifts threatening a global order that has held for more than seventy years. As tensions among China, Russia, and the US escalate perilously toward a new Cold War, Doyle introduces a radical paradigm that will facilitate the international cooperation necessary to avert the global threats of our time.

In this thought-provoking and engaging book, Malachi O'Doherty argues that division in Northern Ireland is fundamentally not about whether the country should be governed as part of Ireland or as part of Britain—as presumed by the Good Friday Agreement—but rather is entirely sectarian, an inter-ethnic stress comparable to racism. Part memoir, part history and part polemic, How to Fix Northern Ireland shows how the split between Catholics and Protestants infests everyday life and asks what can be done to solve a centuries-old social rift and heal the relationship at the heart of the problem.

Humans are heading up and out, and we’re taking our power struggles with us. Soon, what happens in space will shape human history as much the mountains, rivers and seas have on Earth. It’s no coincidence that Russia, China and the USA are leading the way. The next fifty years will change the face of global politics. In this gripping book, bestselling author Tim Marshall lays bare the new geopolitical realities to show how we got here and where we’re going.

When the U.S. began its withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Afghan Army instantly collapsed, Homeira Qaderi was marked for death at the hands of the Taliban. A celebrated author, academic, and champion for women's liberation, Homeira had achieved celebrity in her home country by winning custody of her son in a contentious divorce, a rarity in Afghanistan's patriarchal society.

China’s economic, technological, and military hyperpower has reached an all-time high. This power is based upon decades of intense government spending, military build-up, cyber and intellectual property breaches of other sovereign nations—foremost the US and its allies—and a hegemonic dictator for life Xi Jinping yielding unparalleled control, comparable to the era of Mao Tse Tung.

¿Quién presenta un panorama realista de los próximos veinte años para América Latina y quién está contando "cuentos chinos"? Para responder a esta pregunta, Andrés Oppenheimer, coganador del premio Pulitzer, ganador del premio Rey de España y del Ortega y Gasset, y el periodista latinoamericano más galardonado, viajó por China, Irlanda, España, Polonia, la República Checa, Estados Unidos y media docena de países de América Latina.

Selten schien der Westen so geschlossen wie zu Beginn des Ukraine-Kriegs. Die Werte der Freiheit und Demokratie galt es gegen ein autokratisches System zu verteidigen. Doch hinter der vermeintlichen Geschlossenheit zeigten sich schnell die ersten Bruchstellen. Wie werden wirtschaftliche Zwänge mit politischen Zielen in Einklang gebracht?

Fear swept Zhenjiang as British soldiers gathered outside the city walls in the summer of 1842. Already suspicious of foreigners, locals had also heard of the suffering the British inflicted two months earlier, in Zhapu. A wave of suicides and mercy killings ensued: rather than leave their families to the invaders, hundreds of women killed themselves and their children or died at the hands of male family members. British observers decried an "Asian culture" of ritual suicide. In reality, the event was sui generis—a tragic result of colliding local and global forces in nineteenth-century China.

Das europäische Asyl-System ist zum Lotteriespiel geworden: Geographische Lage, Geld, Fitness und Glück auf dem gefährlichen Land- und Seeweg bestimmen, wer es an die Grenze schafft, Asyl beantragen und einwandern kann. Ruud Koopmans zeigt, dass wir so nicht den Hilfsbedürftigsten helfen und uns zahlreiche Probleme bei der Integration einhandeln. Seine schonungslose Bilanz endet mit einem bestechenden Vorschlag, wie es auch anders ginge – wenn wir nur den Mut dazu haben.

Ist es angebracht, in einer Welt in Schieflage noch Glück zu verspüren? Unbedingt, sagt Constantin Schreiber – und ermutigt uns, der Leichtigkeit Platz zu schenken, ohne der Welt den Rücken zu kehren. Bestseller-Autoutor und Tagesschau-Sprecher Constantin Schreiber sucht und findet in seinem neuen Werk Antworten auf die Frage, wie es sich in Zeiten von Krieg, Klimakrise, Inflation und Pandemie mit dem Glück verhält.

This book explores the reality suggesting that, in fact, none of what is happening across the globe is happening by chance. Right under humanity’s nose, supranational organizations such as the United Nations, the Club of Rome, and Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum strive to usurp national sovereignties in the quest for a dystopian future.

The breakdown of the liberal international order over the course of the last decade unleashed a string of crimes against humanity, culminating in the election of rightwing nationalists and fascists the world over. It might be said to have begun with Putin’s land grab in Ukraine in 2014. However, it was half a year later that Isis’s terror-state in the heart of the Middle East, Israel’s annihilation of Gaza, and Assad’s ongoing mass murder in Syria would culminate in a summer of hate that would transform our very conception of the world.

Conflicts over specific rules lie at the heart of the disputes, which are about much more than sovereignty over islands and rocks in the South and East China Seas. Instead, the main contests concern the strategic maritime space associated with those islands. To consolidate control over this vital maritime space, China's leaders have begun to implement "China's law of the sea": building domestic legal institutions, bureaucratic organizations, and a naval and maritime law enforcement apparatus to establish China's preferred maritime rules on the water and in the diplomatic arena.

Deutschland hat über viele Jahre die Gefahr ignoriert, die von Putins Regime ausging. Es hat die Warnungen seiner europäischen Nachbarn in den Wind geschlagen und sich von Gas und Öl aus Russland immer abhängiger gemacht. Die Folge ist eine schwere Wirtschaftskrise, die den Wohlstand der Bundesrepublik langfristig schmälern wird.

Una llamada urgente a las armas por parte del líder ucraniano cuyo inquebrantable valor frente a la invasión rusa ha inspirado al mundo y le ha convertido de la noche a la mañana en un faro global de la democracia.

Als Russland am 24. Februar 2022 die Ukraine angriff, schien das großen Teilen der russischen Gesellschaft egal zu sein. Das ist nicht Uberraschend. Seit Jahren wird das russische Expansionsstreben davon begleitet, dass gesellschaftlich das Recht des StArkeren gilt. Gewalt wird von vielen als Mittel der Politik akzeptiert. Gesine DornblUth und Thomas Franke erklAren, wie es dazu kommen konnte. Ihre Reportagen und Analysen fUhren uns durch drei Jahrzehnte, in denen nationalistische KrAfte Uber Verfechter demokratischer Werte die Oberhand gewannen.

Skillfully unraveling the hidden story of Xi Jinping's life and career, from his early childhood to his rise to the pinnacles of the Party and the State, they flesh out his views and uncover how he became the most powerful man in the world.
