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.

Rapports de force, zones d’influence, conflits – politiques, économiques, militaires – sont la matière des relations internationales. La puissance, qu’elle menace ou qu’elle protège, détermine les conditions d’existence des États et des populations. Le livre s’interroge d’abord sur les critères de la puissance : ses instruments, ses manifestations et jusqu’aux illusions qu’elle engendre. Il dresse ensuite un état des lieux de la planète, panorama impeccablement documenté et actuel des principales entités étatiques et des enjeux régionaux saillants.

La hegemonía cultural de la izquierda hace que te puedan llegar a quitar la vida por llevar unos tirantes con la bandera de tu país, que solo haya cómicos de izquierda, que no puedas decir que votas a ciertos partidos, o que yo tenga que cobijarme bajo seudónimo para no perder el trabajo. Es a lo que yo llamo “Dictadura Progre”, un statu quo de mordaza que denota que vivimos en un país ideológicamente enfermo. El pensamiento único se ha impuesto así hasta estigmatizar con insultos (fascista, ultraderecha, neoliberal, facha…) toda idea alternativa. Este manual responde a muchas...
