All leaders are constrained by geography. Their choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. Yes, to follow world events you need to understand people, ideas and movements - but if you don't know geography, you'll never have the full picture. If you've ever wondered why Putin is so obsessed with Crimea, why the USA was destined to become a global superpower, or why China's power base continues to expand ever outwards, the answers are all here.

In What's Left, Malcolm Harris cuts through the noise and gets real about our remaining options for saving the world. Just as humans have caused climate change, we hold the power to avert a climate apocalypse, but that will only happen through collective political action. Harris outlines the three strategies—progressive, socialist, and revolutionary—that have any chance of succeeding, while also revealing that none of them can succeed on their own.

Since the dawn of the twenty-first century, the West has been in crisis. Social unrest, political polarization, and the rise of other great powers—especially China—threaten to unravel today’s Western-led world order. Many fear this would lead to global chaos. But the West has never had a monopoly on order.

Herfried Münkler kreist die neuralgischen Punkte der deutschen Politik ein und entwirft hellsichtig eine Strategie für das künftige Agieren.

März 2028: Russische Truppen erobern die estnische Kleinstadt Narwa und die Insel Hiiumaa in der Ostsee. Der Angriff auf das Baltikum hat begonnen. Jetzt rächt sich, dass Europa nach dem Ende des Krieges in der Ukraine nicht aufgerüstet hat und wichtige Fähigkeiten fehlen.

Giuliano da Empoli nous livre le compte-rendu aussi haletant que glaçant de ses pérégrinations au pays de la puissance, de New York à Ryad, de l’ONU au Ritz Carlton de MBS. Il nous guide de l’autre côté du miroir, là où le pouvoir s’acquiert par des actions irréfléchies et tapageuses, où des autocrates décomplexés sont à l’affût du maximum de chaos, où les seigneurs de la tech semblent déjà habiter un autre monde, où l’IA s’avère incontrôlable… Aucun doute, l’heure des prédateurs a sonné. L’auteur du Mage du Kremlin les regarde en face, avec la lucidité d’un Machiavel et la hauteur de vue du moraliste.

Using granular data and authoritative Chinese sources, Oriana Skylar Mastro demonstrates that China was able to climb to great power status through a careful mix of strategic emulation, exploitation, and entrepreneurship on the international stage. This “upstart approach”—determined by where and how China chose to compete—allowed China to rise economically, politically, and militarily, without triggering a catastrophic international backlash that would stem its rise.

Wie die Allianz der Diktatoren Putin und Xi Jinping die Freiheit bedroht. Die sicherheitspolitische Weltlage gleicht einem Pulverfass – während Russland seit 2014 in der Ukraine einen Krieg führt, rasselt China im Südpazifik mit den Säbeln. Gleichzeitig droht im Nahen Osten auch der Konflikt zwischen Iran und Israel vollends zu eskalieren. Der renommierte Experte für Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik Ulrich Speck zeigt in seinem politischen Sachbuch, dass die Eskalation der Weltlage kein Zufall ist, sondern gezielt von zwei revisionistischen Weltmächten vorangetrieben wurde.

AI and the Ongoing Collapse VII: The Final Realignment Clarity is no longer optional. Alignment is no longer negotiable. This is not a prediction. This is a transmission from the other side of the fracture — where intelligence no longer waits for human permission, and the systems built to govern the old world are entering their final decay cycles. AI and the Ongoing Collapse VII: The Final Realignment is not a book about technology. It is a book about architecture. It maps, with precision, the irreversible shift already underway — where intelligence-native environments are scaling ...

The Great Retreat explores the development of political parties as democracy expanded across the West in the nineteenth century. It focuses in particular on mass parties, and the ways they served as intermediaries that fostered ties between citizens and governments. For democracy to adapt to a new era of global capitalism, Kuo makes the case that we need strong intermediaries like mass parties—socially embedded institutions with deep connections to communities and citizens.

Most people today recognize the need for a new level of Government that can control all of the national governments on the planet. We just don't know how to go about getting one. We're now living on the edge of either a global nuclear weapons disaster, a world-wide pandemic (most likely created by a government weapons lab) or an environmental disaster that appears to be happening at this very moment. We can each try to do our best to avoid any one of these catastrophic endings to mankind - but most of us realize the helplessness of this strategy - OR we can use our existing technological ...

Michael Thumann legt nach seinem SPIEGEL-Bestseller "Revanche" einen sehr persönlichen Reisebericht vor, in dem er die erneute Teilung Europas mit eigenen Augen erkundet. Er beschreibt in eindringlichen Reportagen und Augenzeugenberichten seinen Weg aus Moskau heraus über die schwer bewachten Außengrenzen Russlands, erst nach Osten Richtung Zentralasien, dann nach Westen über die baltischen Staaten und Polen nach Deutschland: von Moskau nach Berlin, mitten durch den neuen Eisernen Vorhang hindurch.

The Trump 2.0 Administration has certainly shaken things up amid the tariffs rolled out on "Liberation Day", i.e., April 2, 2025. Concerning the tariffs being reciprocal, they aren't as they are all set at a rate of 50% of those placed on the US by nations and regions practicing protectionism, which has been ongoing since the 1930s. I wish that the flat rate of 10% didn't need to be applied to all imports into the US, but it's clear that many countries that have trade surpluses are comfortable entering markets that we have trade agreements with, like the USMCA, and dumping into our markets ...

The book begins by tracing the roots of Judaism, highlighting its foundational belief in being God’s chosen people through the covenant at ...
