Americans frequently criticize US foreign policy for being overly costly and excessively militaristic. With its rising defense budgets and open-ended "forever wars," US foreign policy often appears disconnected from public opinion, reflecting the views of elites and special interests rather than the attitudes of ordinary citizens. The Commander-in-Chief Test argues that this conventional wisdom underestimates the role public opinion plays in shaping foreign policy.

Il libro più provocatorio e riflessivo dell’inviato del "Corriere della sera" in Kossovo, Croazia e Bosnia. Il carattere di novità del processo a Milosevic e le sue dichiarazioni davanti alla corte del Tribunale Penale Internazionale forniscono all’autore una duplice occasione di approfondimento. Da un lato, si tratta di riesaminare dieci anni di eventi drammatici alla luce delle dichiarazioni dell’imputato.

Selvfølgelig måtte Winston Churchill blive premierminister i maj 1940 og fortsætte kampen mod Nazi-Tyskland, men det var nu langt fra nogen selvfølge. Selvfølgelig måtte de Gaulle i juni 1940 gå i eksil og aktivere modstanden mod den tyske besættelsesmagt, men han var nu temmelig alene om det. Store for eftertiden afgørende beslutninger, som forekommer os selvfølgelige, var det langt fra i samtiden. Det krævede vilje, mod og viden at sætte dem igennem.

A clear-eyed analysis of the role the United States should play in the world as it exists today.

Millaisiin uskomattomiin tilanteisiin suomalaiset ovat joutuneet ulkomailla liikkuessaan? Suomen ulkomaanedustus on pelastanut turisteja monenlaisessa hädässä, eikä kaikkein hulluimpia sattumuksia olisi voinut edes keksiä. Joskus turistit joutuvat pulaan oman törttöilynsä takia, mutta toisinaan kyseessä on myös sotatilanne tai muu kriisi, joka velvoittaa edustuston auttamaan. Kirja kokoaa yhteen joukon sattumuksia vuodesta 1918 vuoteen 1981 ja paljastaa, millä tavoin avun luonne on muuttunut historian saatossa.

What should our global strategy look like in an age of renewed great power competition? And what must America offer to a newly empowered developing world when we're no longer the only major player? In The American Imperative, international development expert Daniel Runde makes the case for building a new global consensus through vigorous internationalism and the judicious use of soft power.

Il 13 maggio 1981 segna un punto di non ritorno nella storia contemporanea con particolare riferimento all'estenuante contesa Est-Ovest. Il tentato omicidio di Karol Wojtyla, capo della cristianità, cambia il corso del Novecento e innesca una serie di ricatti e regolamenti di conti che sconvolgono la vita delle famiglie coinvolte e turbano ancora oggi l'opinione pubblica. Chi ha armato Ali Ağca, estremista turco di estrema destra disponibile a qualsiasi doppio gioco?

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.

Peace For Taiwan Is Possible presents a compelling case that war in the Taiwan Strait is not inevitable—and that a peaceful resolution is both necessary and achievable. Through twelve focused chapters, the book dismantles the assumption that conflict between the U.S. and China must come to pass and instead lays out a roadmap for diplomacy, strategic patience, and multilateral cooperation.
