El primer libro del Presidente Volodímir Zelenski.
Las palabras de un hombre. El mensaje de un pueblo.
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.
Con una introducción del propio Volodímir Zelenski y sus discursos de guerra más potentes, este libro relata la historia de Ucrania a través de las palabras de su presidente. Es la historia de una nación que se defiende con uñas y dientes de la agresión rusa. Y es la historia de un pueblo que lidera el mundo en la lucha por la democracia. Pero, sobre todo, es un grito de guerra para que todos nos levantemos y luchemos por la Libertad. Si no es ahora, ¿cuándo?
*Todos los ingresos que el presidente perciba de este libro se destinarán a United24, una iniciativa suya para recolectar donaciones en apoyo a Ucrania.
Sixteen Stormy Days narrates the riveting story of the First Amendment to the Constitution of India-one of the pivotal events in Indian political and constitutional history, and its first great battle of ideas. Passed in June 1951 in the face of tremendous opposition within and outside Parliament, the subject of some of independent India’s fiercest parliamentary debates, the First Amendment drastically curbed freedom of speech; enabled caste-based reservation by restricting freedom against discrimination; circumscribed the right to property and validated abolition of the zamindari system; and fashioned a special schedule of unconstitutional laws immune to judicial challenge. Enacted months before India’s inaugural election, the amendment represents the most profound changes that the Constitution has ever seen. Faced with an expansively liberal Constitution that stood in the way of nearly every major socio-economic plan in the Congress party’s manifesto, a judiciary vigorously upholding civil liberties, and a press fiercely resisting his attempt to control public discourse, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru reasserted executive supremacy, creating the constitutional architecture for repression and coercion.What extraordinary set of events led the prime minister-who had championed the Constitution when it was passed in 1950 after three years of deliberation-to radically amend it after a mere sixteen days of debate in 1951?Drawing on parliamentary debates, press reports, judicial pronouncements, official correspondence and existing scholarship, Sixteen Stormy Days challenges conventional wisdom on iconic figures such as Jawaharlal Nehru, B.R. Ambedkar, Rajendra Prasad, Sardar Patel and Shyama Prasad Mookerji, and lays bare the vast gulf between the liberal promise of India’s Constitution and the authoritarian impulses of her first government.
«En Nueva York, en la Corte del Distrito Este, hay un caso muy delicado que tiene que ver con tu país. SE TRATA DE UN GENERAL DE LAS FUERZAS ARMADAS METIDO CON EL NARCOTRÁFICO. Hablo de un general muy importante. La DEA lo ha investigado y tiene pruebas en su contra… CREO QUE LE DICEN EL PADRINO.»
El15 de octubre de 2020, el arrestodel general SalvadorCienfuegos Zepeda en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles, California,sacudió las estructuras del poder militar en México. El Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos lo acusaba de usar surangopara ofrecer protección al Cártel de Sinaloa,así como de recibir sobornos millonarios y estar coludido con dicha organización criminal para el trasiego de drogas. La denominada “OperaciónPadrino” era la investigación internacional más sólida y contundente sobre un militar mexicano relacionado directamente con el narcotráfico. Pese a esto, nadie en el gobierno de México supo de lo que las autoridades estadounidenses tenían entre manos hasta la detención del general.
J. Jesús Esquivel —corresponsal en Washington, D. C. de la revista Proceso— fue el primer reportero en tener pistas sobre estaoperación meses antes del arresto, cuando un fiscal federal de distrito —a quien conoció durante el juicio de Joaquín El ChapoGuzmánen Nueva York— le dio el pitazo. En este libro relata aquel encuentro y todo lo que pudo recabar sobre la operación, desde losantecedentes,que datan de 2015, hasta la reacción del gobierno mexicano a la detención,así como las consecuencias en la relación con Estados Unidos luego de que México hubiera optado por la liberación de Cienfuegos. A sus órdenes, mi general traza una línea para entender todas las concesiones que han existido para el ejército durante el gobierno de López Obrador y demuestra la fuerza perdurable de esta institución en México
Susanne SchrOters messerscharfe Analyse Uber den Westen – Spiegel-Bestseller
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 ZwAnge mit politischen Zielen in Einklang gebracht? Wie viel sind dem Westen die eigenen Ideale wert? Dass sich dahinter ein tiefgreifendes strukturelles Problem des Westens verbirgt, zeigt die Ethnologin und Islamexpertin Susanne SchrOter in ihrem neuen Buch. Angesichts der jUngsten Konflikte in der Ukraine, in Afghanistan und Mali sowie der Planlosigkeit westlicher Regierungen im Umgang mit Migrationsbewegungen, Islamismus und Cancel Culture diagnostiziert sie einen zwischen Hybris und Selbsthass gefangenen Westen, der unentwegt die Werte der Demokratie beschwOrt, sie aber gleichzeitig immer dann verrAt, wenn es darauf ankommt. Befindet sich der Westen auf dem besten Weg, die eigene innen- wie außenpolitische GlaubwUrdigkeit zu verspielen? In ihrem analytisch klugen und thesenstarken Buch gibt Susanne SchrOter die Antwort.
यह अमरीका का हाफटाइम है!
एय यी या यी! हम एक नई विश्व व्यवस्था के बीच में हैं!
साम्राज्यों का उदय, पतन और अस्त होता रहता है। इतिहास ने इस चक्र को रोमन, ओटोमन्स और अंग्रेजों के साथ होता देखा है। वे सभी पतन को प्राप्त हो चुके हैं, और अगर हम सावधान नहीं रहे, तो अगला नंबर अमरीका का होगा।
आज के कई उद्यम कर्ज के आदी अत्यधिक वित्तीय इंजीनियरिंग मेंढक हैं जो गुनगुने सांप के तेल में फड़फड़ाते हैं। दुर्भाग्य से, कई लोग IP गिद्धों के चंगुल में फंसकर मृत्यु को प्राप्त होंगे।
अगर हम अपने तुरुप के पत्ते ठीक से नहीं खेलते हैं, तो अगला भूखा साम्राज्य - चीन का मध्य साम्राज्य - हमें खा जाएगा; 2008 की आर्थिक सुनामी के बाद से, 'बेल्ट एंड रोड इनिशिएटिव' (BRI) से लेकर अपने 'डिजिटल सिल्क रोड' (DSR) के माध्यम से, अमेरिका और सौ से अधिक अन्य देशों से वसूली के लिए अपने गुर्गे भेज देगा।

Ever since China began its ascendancy to great-power status in the 1980s, observers have focused on its growing economic, military, and diplomatic power. But in recent years, Chinese officials, businesses, and institutions have increased their visibility and influence on every major global issue. How have these newer issues changed China's relationship with the world? And, importantly, how can we prepare for a future increasingly shaped by China?
In China's Next Act, Scott M. Moore re-envisions China's role in the world, with a focus on sustainability and technology. Moore argues that these increasingly pressing, shared global challenges are reshaping China's economy and foreign policy, and consequently, cannot be tackled without China.
In this clearly written and accessible overview, Moore examines how countries like the US must balance cooperation and competition with China in response to shared challenges. With an emphasis on opportunities as well as threats, Moore addresses not only key developments in sustainability and technology within China, but also their implications for foreign countries, companies, and other organizations. China's Next Act provides a unique-and uniquely balanced-window into these new dimensions of China's global ascension.
Former Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo spearheaded the Trump Administration’s most significant foreign policy breakthroughs. Now, he reveals how he did it, and how it could happen again.
Mike Pompeo is the only person ever to have served as both America’s most senior diplomat and the head of its premier espionage agency. As the only four-year national security member of President Trump’s Cabinet, he worked to impose crushing pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran, avert a nuclear crisis with North Korea, deliver unmatched support for Israel, and bring peace to the Middle East. Drawing on his commitment to America’s founding principles and his Christian faith, his efforts to promote religious freedom around the world were unequaled in American diplomatic history. Most importantly, he led a much-needed generational transformation of America's relationship with China.
Blending remarkable and often humorous stories of his interactions with world leaders and unmatched analysis of geopolitics, Never Give an Inch tells of how Pompeo helped the Trump Administration craft the America First approach that upended Washington wisdom—and made him America’s enemies’ worst nightmare. It is a raw account of what it took to deliver winning outcomes in the face of a progressive activist media, partisan conspiracies, two impeachments and endless investigations, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Complete with a road map of the trends and players shaping the world today, Never Give an Inch is more than a historical review of the Trump Administration's greatest victories. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the challenges of the future. And it is an inspirational story of leadership through dangerous times that will leave you with a greater appreciation for America.
Jenn Budd, the only former US Border Patrol agent to continually blow the whistle on this federal agency's rampant corruption, challenges us-as individuals and as a nation-to face the consequences of our actions. Her journey offers a vital perspective on the unfolding moral crisis of our time. She also gives harrowing testimony about rape culture, white privilege, women in law enforcement, LGBTQ issues, mental illness, survival, and forgiveness.
A new history of Asian peace since 1979 that considers America’s paradoxical role
After more than a century of recurring conflict, the countries of the Asia-Pacific region have managed something remarkable: avoiding war among nations. Since 1979, Asia has endured threats, near-miss crises, and nuclear proliferation but no interstate war. How fragile is this “Asian peace,” and what is America’s role in it?
Van Jackson argues that because Washington takes it for granted that the United States is a force for good, successive presidencies have failed to see how American statecraft impedes more durable forms of security and inadvertently embrittles peace. At times, the United States has been the region’s bulwark against instability, but America has been a threat to Asian peace as much as it has been its guarantor. By grappling with how America fits into the Asian story, Van Jackson shows how regional stability has diminished because of U.S. choices and why America’s margin for geopolitical error is less now than ever before.
After leading the world economy for a century, the United States faces the first real challenge to its supremacy in the rise of China.
Is economic—or broader—conflict, well beyond the trade and technology war that has already erupted, inevitable between the world’s two superpowers? Will their clash produce a new economic leadership vacuum akin to the 1930s, when Great Britain was unable to play its traditional leadership role and a rising United States was unwilling to step in to save the global order?
In this sweeping and authoritative analysis of the competition for global economic leadership between China and the United States, C. Fred Bergsten warns of the disastrous consequences of hostile confrontation between these two superpowers. He paints a frightening picture of a world economy adopting Chinese characteristics, in which the United States, after Trump abdicated much of its role, engages in a self-defeating attempt to “decouple” from its rival.
Drawing on more than fifty years of active participation as a policymaker and close observation as a scholar, Bergsten calls on China to exercise constructive global leadership in its own self-interest and on the United States to reject a policy of containment, avoid a new Cold War, and instead pursue “conditional competitive cooperation” to work with its allies, and especially China, to lead, rather than destroy, the world economy.
NATO stands at the forefront of the response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine. But how does NATO function?
The Nations of NATO explores national policies within the Atlantic Alliance. It examines the foreign policies of sixteen allies, focusing on issues such as their strategic cultures, relationship with the US, contributions to NATO operations, levels of defense spending, domestic challenges, and decision-making processes. The recent crisis in Ukraine has without doubt reinvigorated NATO as a military alliance, but over the last decade it has also been affected by a number of challenges, both endogenous and exogenous. Whether the Alliance is threatened from the outside (Russia, terrorism, China) or is being undermined from within (intra-Alliance politics, diverging threat perceptions) has become an increasingly debated issue. The degree to which the Alliance can adapt to evolving threats has also been at stake. At the heart of these debates are NATO allies' policies, preferences, threat perceptions, and level of commitment to the shared enterprise.
By analyzing the drivers, constraints, and specificities of relevant national policies, the volume offers an overview of NATO's contemporary functions and challenges, and constitutes an important source of data for future research and comparative analysis.
