Mardi 11 septembre 2001. 6 h 30. Il fait encore sombre quand le président des États-Unis, en tenue de jogging, court en foulées rapides au milieu des bougainvilliers, entouré d'agents secrets qui lui éclairent le chemin. L'aube se lève doucement sur la Floride... 23 h 08. Pieds nus, en short, son chien dans les bras, suivi de sa femme et de son chat, George W. Bush dévale les escaliers de la Maison-Blanche vers le bunker souterrain, sous le regard inquiet de ses gardes du corps. C'est la dernière alerte de cette terrible journée.

A comprehensive study of the geopolitical, security, economic, and environmental future of a major game-changing phenomenon - the alternative energy megatrend. This is not another alternative energy study. Rather, The Prologue identifies and charts the security-related trajectory of a relatively new global phenomenon: the ascent of alternative energy as a 21st century megatrend.

Chinas Aufstieg fasziniert die Welt - und lehrt sie das Fürchten. Unter Parteichef Xi Jinping erlebt das Land einen Rückfall in die Diktatur. Gleichzeitig dehnt es seinen globalen Einfluss immer weiter aus. Nicht nur in Amerika, auch in Europa wächst das Unbehagen an der neuen Weltmacht und an ihren Methoden. Droht ein neuer kalter Krieg oder sogar ein chinesischer Triumph über den Westen? ZEIT-Korrespondent Matthias Naß gibt einen spannenden Einblick in das Land, das sich anschickt, zur Führungsmacht des 21. Jahrhunderts zu werden.

In Colonizing Paradise, historian Jefferson Dillman charts the broad spectrum of sentiments that British citizens and travelers held regarding their colonial possessions in the West Indies. Because British sentiments in the Caribbean located danger and evil not just in indigenous populations but in Spanish Catholics as well, Dillman’s work begins with the arrival of Spanish explorers and conquistadors. Colonizing Paradise spans the arrival of English ships and continues through the early nineteenth century and the colonial era.

Timothy W. Crawford's The Power to Divide examines the use of wedge strategies, a form of divisive statecraft designed to isolate adversaries from allies and potential supporters to gain key advantages. With a multidimensional argument about the power of accommodation in competition, and a survey of alliance diplomacy around both World Wars, The Power to Divide artfully analyzes the past and future performance of wedge strategy in great power politics.

Schmitz illuminates how the policies FDR pursued in response to the crises of the 1930s transformed Americans' thinking about their place in the world. He shows how the president developed an interlocking set of ideas that prompted a debate between isolationism and preparedness, guided the United States into World War II, and mobilized support for the war while establishing a sense of responsibility for the postwar world.

Do countries fight wars for oil? Given the resource's exceptional military and economic importance, most people assume that states will do anything to obtain it. Challenging this conventional wisdom, The Oil Wars Myth reveals that countries do not launch major conflicts to acquire petroleum resources. Emily Meierding argues that the costs of foreign invasion, territorial occupation, international retaliation, and damage to oil company relations deter even the most powerful countries from initiating "classic oil wars".

Tracing the survival strategies of migrants during the journey to the North, The Migrant Passage shows how their mobility reshapes the social landscape of Mexico, and the book explores the implications for the future of sovereignty and the nation-state. To trace the continuous renewal of the transit corridor, Noelle Brigden draws upon over two years of in-depth, multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork along human smuggling routes from Central America across Mexico and into the United States.

Jamais l'Histoire n'a connu de telles accélérations comme aujourd'hui. Et malgré leurs opportunités économiques et technologiques, jamais nos sociétés n'ont été autant menacées. Pour comprendre et décrypter le monde de demain, voici le rapport captivant fourni par le renseignement américain. Comment les Etats-Unis exerceront-ils leur leadership dans les vingt prochaines années ? La Russie demeurera-t-elle agressive si son économie faiblit ? Comment l'Europe affrontera-t-elle sa crise d'identité et la montée des populismes ?

As the second-largest economy, China is now extending its influence across the globe. Joanna Chiu has spent a decade tracking China’s propulsive rise, from the complicity of democratic nations, to a new colonialism coming from its multibillion-dollar “New Silk Road” initiative, to its growing sway on foreign countries and multilateral institutions.

The United States and China are locked in a “cold tech war", and the winner will end up dominating the 21st century. America can still catch up. Unfortunately, Americans, focused on other matters, are not meeting the challenges China presents. A whole-of-society mobilization will be necessary for the US to regain what it once had: control of cutting-edge technologies. Americans may not like the fact that they’re once again in a Cold War-type struggle, but they will either adjust to that reality or get left behind.

In Defense 101, a concise primer for understanding the United States' $700+ billion defense budget and rapidly changing military technologies, Michael O'Hanlon provides a deeply informed yet accessible analysis of American military power. For policy makers and experts, military professionals, students, and citizens alike, Defense 101 helps make sense of the US Department of Defense, the basics of war and the future of armed conflict, and the most important characteristics of the American military.

Three distinguished experts and policy practitioners declare: "Despite the wrongs committed against China in the past, the People's Republic of China must not represent the future, for it is corrupt." We must return in great haste to the Judeo-Christian principles upon which we were founded, which made us the most prosperous, secure, and generous nation in human history.

Two Tears on the Window is Julia and Kevin Garratt’s true story of their 775-day abduction and imprisonment in China as pawns in a political play between China, Canada, and the United States. This compelling story of a Canadian Christian couple who spent 30 years working and raising their family in China, involved in aid, education, and social enterprise is a unique parallel journey.

The People’s Republic of China and the United States are today at war. It is being fought with the use of information, politics, and finance. The Chinese believe that, as in all war, it would be better to win without engaging the enemy on the battlefield or having to resort to the likes of nuclear weapons if it can be avoided. To achieve this, China has engaged in a decades-long campaign to manipulate and corrupt America’s ruling elite.

Somos um país urbano: 84% da população brasileira concentra-se em cidades e ao menos metade vive em municípios com mais de 100 mil habitantes. Mas a vida urbana não traz apenas novas oportunidades. Ela propicia doenças provocadas por falta de saneamento, picadas de mosquitos, poluição, violência, ritmo frenético... E tudo isso não ocorre mais apenas nas grandes cidades, mas também nas médias e mesmo pequenas, quase sempre negligenciadas pelo poder público e pelos próprios cidadãos.

From a global pandemic to social unrest to election messes to murder hornets, 2020 and beyond has been a time of maximum chaos. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Because, there are professionals inside and outside of government who are responsible for keeping us prepared for these things. When disasters happen, they spring into action to coordinate and communicate so that instead of confusion and fear, we get clarity and confidence.

El combate al narcotráfico en México desde el punto de vista de los agentes de la Agencia Antidrogas de Estados Unidos, con los testimonios de varios de ellos que han trabajado en nuestro país en diversos momentos. Hasta hoy no se había escrito una investigación como ésta. Se sospechaba que la DEA operaba en el territorio nacional con entera libertad, pero se carecía de evidencias como las que aquí presenta J. Jesús Esquivel.

Ce livre est une introduction générale au plaidoyer pour le changement que de nombreux secteurs des États-Unis d'Amérique souhaitent voir. Il vise à soutenir un tel appel en fournissant des informations essentielles basées sur des faits et des événements réels dont personne ne peut nier. J'ai toujours essayé de faire en sorte que ce livre fasse écho à la réalité d'une manière qui rend les gens conscients de la nécessité d'abolir le racisme, la xénophobie et l'air de la tendance au nettoyage ethnique.
