International Diplomacy

Politisch und wirtschaftlich ist die demokratische Welt so schwach wie seit Jahrzehnten nicht mehr. Das Konzept "Wandel durch Handel" ist gescheitert. Vielmehr hat es Diktaturen gestärkt und Demokratien untergraben. Freie und offene Gesellschaften sind existenziell gefährdet. Der russische Einmarsch in der Ukraine, der brutale Angriff auf Israel, der wieder salonfähig gewordene Antisemitismus und die wirtschaftliche Abhängigkeit von China müssen ein Weckruf für offene Gesellschaften sein. Es braucht jetzt grundlegende Veränderungen.

Engaging the Evil Empire dramatically alters how we look at the beginning of the end of the Cold War. Tracking key events in US-Soviet relations across the years between 1980 and 1985, Simon Miles shows that covert engagement gave way to overt conversation as both superpowers determined that open diplomacy was the best means of furthering their own, primarily competitive, goals.

A phrase has come into the Zeitgeist - calling people the “Trump of their field”. Elon Musk is the "Trump of business". I am called the “Trump of Italy”. It is a phenomenon that recalls the great Caesars - The name of Gaius Julius Caesar became a title, honorific to the extreme of deification. Many leaders still do not know how to react to President Trump; to his decision to control immigration, to 3+ percent economic growth, and, especially, to the justified desire to implement a pro-US policy.

El amigo americano son las memorias del hombre que supo marcar tendencia con su impronta personal al redefinir el papel de la diplomacia en pleno siglo XXI.

For over 25 years, John Dickson served the United States as a Foreign Service officer. Dickson organizes History Shock around a country-by-country series of lively personal experience vignettes, followed by compelling historical analysis of the ways in which his inadequate understanding of the host country's history lead to history shock: where dramatically different interpretations of history blocked diplomatic understanding and cooperation.

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.

A devout Muslim and interfaith leader, he walks with you through Mecca, the Vatican and Jerusalem. A compelling story for any listener.

International security and American supremacy are at stake—and now is the time for the US to take action. China's global power and influence grows every day. Working from a deep sense of national identity, the Chinese Communist Party is leading its country toward what it deems "the great rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation," and executing a long-term Grand Strategy to topple over its chief adversary, the US. As China becomes increasingly repressive domestically and aggressive overseas, it threatens to upend America's global dominance at every turn.

Nicht nur Russland, sondern auch sein enger Partner China stellt den Westen in Zukunft vor enorme strategische Herausforderungen – und die NATO darf ihre Fehler nicht wiederholen. Die Strategieexpertin Dr. Stefanie Babst gewährt Einblicke in das Innere des transatlantischen Bündnisses.

Deutschland hatte sich behaglich eingerichtet in der Welt der Globalisierung - einer Welt, die friedlich zusammenzuwachsen und für uns immer sicherer zu werden schien. Doch diese Welt gibt es spätestens seit dem russischen Überfall auf die Ukraine nicht mehr. Über ein Zeitenwendchen ist die deutsche Politik bisher dennoch nicht hinausgekommen. Nach einem ersten Schock hat das Land wieder in den Friedensmodus geschaltet. Carlo Masala zieht eine schonungslose Bilanz und beschreibt, wie wir resilienter werden können - gesellschaftlich, wirtschaftlich, politisch und militärisch.

James A. Baker III uses his unique perspective to take us inside those events and the personalities involved in them: the collapse of Communism, the Berlin Wall, and the Soviet Union itself; the reunification of Germany; the remarkable negotiations behind the coalition-building of the Gulf War; and the even more remarkable talks that led Israelis and Arabs to the same conference table for the first time in decades.

Do leaders make history or does history make leaders? A deep dive into how we define, seek, and become leaders. We live in a period of leadership in crisis. At home, and across the globe, we sense that unqualified and irresponsible individuals are being elevated to positions of power, strong men...

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 for granted that the United States is a force for good, successive presidencies have failed to see how their statecraft impedes more durable forms of security and inadvertently embrittles peace.

In the Cold War conflict that pitted nuclear superpowers against one another, Europe was the principal battleground. Washington and Moscow had troops on the ground and missiles in the fields of their respective allies, the NATO nations and the states of the Warsaw Pact. Euromissiles—intermediate-range nuclear weapons to be used exclusively in the regional theater of war—highlighted how the peoples of Europe were dangerously placed between hammer and anvil.

Today Vietnam is one of America’s strongest international partners, with a thriving economy and a population that welcomes American visitors.
