In State Capitalism, Joshua Kurlantzick ranges across the world - China, Thailand, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, and more - and argues that the increase in state capitalism across the globe has, on balance, contributed to a decline in democracy.

The rapid development of technology and globalization has changed the leverage points in accumulating wealth: money, meaning and freedom.

At the end of World War II, America had all the money and all the power. Now, after the Great Crash of 2008, America is cash poor. In The End of Influence, world-renowned economists Stephen Cohen and Brad DeLong argue that this loss will have grave consequences for Americas standing in the world, even as it opens up new opportunities for a new multilateralism.

Con un bilancio di 280 miliardi di dollari e più di 10.000 dipendenti, la Banca mondiale è l'istituzione leader nella lotta alla povertà, eppure molti la accusano di aggravare il divario tra paesi ricchi e paesi poveri. Poche istituzioni scontano una percezione pubblica così distante dalla loro "missione". A cosa si deve questo scarto? Alla mancanza di informazione sul suo operato? All'inadeguatezza della Banca di fronte a un contesto mondiale in rapida evoluzione? O al prevalere, nella sua agenda, di interessi diversi da quelli dei paesi più poveri?

The World Trade Organization (WTO) began in 1995, but even in the first 10 years of its existence it generated debate, controversy, and even outrage. Rulings on beef hormones and tuna-dolphin cases provide graphic examples of how the organization regulates and intrudes into areas of individual consumer choice, ethical preferences, and cultural habits. This deep and far-ranging impact of the WTO on peoples' everyday lives means that it is not just an institution of interest to economists, but to everyone.

In this third edition of Border Games, Peter Andreas charts the rise and transformation in policing the flow of drugs and migrants across the US-Mexico border. Recent border crackdowns and wall-building campaigns, he argues, are not unprecedented. Rather, they are the outcome of an escalatory dynamic already in motion—but now played out on a far bigger stage, with higher stakes, and in new security and political contexts. Focusing on the power of symbolic politics and policy feedback effects, Andreas traces the logic behind such buildup.

Ein Insider schildert den wirtschaftlichen Aufstieg in China: Analyse und Prognose zugleich.

China steigt zur größten Volkswirtschaft der Welt auf und könnte schon in wenigen Jahren die amerikanische Wirtschaft überholen.

Jahrhundert und der Verzweiflung der Chinesen an ihrer eigenen Kultur, und von der Geburt des neuen China seit 1949.
