Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. It has been claimed that around 14,500 wars have been fought since 3,500 BC. Humanity has only experienced 300 years of peace on Earth. During the twentieth century more people in total, were killed in wars, than during any previous century. Relatively, though we kill each other less often now. Are we gradually becoming more peaceful? Regardless of the number of people killed, and the technology used to do it, we can rest assured that wars will be continued to be fought. Can the causes of war be found in society or in biology, in a competition for economic or sexual resources, in historical circumstances - or in a universal violent instinct?The essays in this anthology originate from the internationally renowned Engelsberg Seminar of 2015, and are written by international historians, journalists, thinkers, researchers, and authors. From the conflicts of antiquity to the dynamics of modern terrorism, this book is about war as a creator and destroyer of states and civilizations. Edited by Kurt Almqvist and Alexander Linklater.

From a Western perspective, things appear to be moving in the wrong direction: away from the democracy, free media and the rule of law. Questions abound as to how Russian society may be developing. In this book based on the Engelsberg seminar On Russia such issues are addressed, focusing on following broad themes: continuity and change in Russian history and the Russian self-image, recent economic developments, the "near-abroad", and the implications of resurgence of the strong Russian state. The texts stem from the Engelsberg Seminar, arranged by Axel and Margaret Ax:son Johnson Foundation.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. It has been almost 30 years since Francis Fukuyama proposed that we were entering into an era of triumph for Western liberalism he called "the end of history." Today this notion seems absurd. Political and military "strong men" once again hold sway over large portions of the globe; emerging world superpowers revive "Great Game"-style geopolitics; and worldwide catastrophes destabilize what were once thought stable borders. The essays in this volume give the reader purchase on the seemingly quickening pace of history by considering specific areas of geopolitics today, as well as historical moments when the global situation seemed to shift decisively.Contributors include: Jeremy Black, Philip Bobbitt, Michael Broers, Roger Crowley, Gregory Feifer, Noah Feldman, Jonathan Fenby, David Frum, Gabriel Gorodetsky, Peter Heather, Josef Joffe, Anna-Lena Lauren, John H.

Condizione: Gut. 283 p. What is the origin of the idea of America, how has it been shaped by history, and where is it headed ? In this book on the idea of America, based upon the Engelsberg Seminar that took place in 2009, the objective is to try to gain a clearer understanding of the original ideas and sources for what is known as the American idea, examine how this idea is nurtured in the US and received elsewhere in the world, and consider the question of whether we are now approaching a 'post-American world'. Who, in that case, will take over the US's role as global leader - China or India; what kind of world would we then live in, and what ideals would we thus be guided by in the future ?.; - In mint condition. deu B13-04-03C|233|5469BB Altersfreigabe FSK ab 0 Jahre Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 444 25 x 16,5 cm.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 290 pages ; 25 cm. Since 3500 BC, it has been claimed, around 14,500 wars have been fought. Humanity has enjoyed only 300 years of peace on earth. But are we gradually becoming more peaceful? During the 20th century, the absolute number of people killed in wars was greater than in any previous century. In relative terms, however, we may be killing each other less often. Whatever the quantities of the dead, however, and whatever technology is being deployed, we can be sure that \Vars will continue to be fought. Do the origins of war lie in society or biology, in competition for economic resources or sexual ones, in historical circumstances - or in a universal instinct for violence? Based on the Engelsberg setninar of 2015, the essays in this anthology have been produced by an international forum of historians, journalists, thinkers, researchers and authors. From the conflicts of antiquity to the dynamics of modern terrorism, they deal with war as creator and destroyer of states and civilisations.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 259 pages. "Foremost among the countless blessings of war is its power of teaching geography," an old joke goes. Despite technological advances and globalisation, the world order is still framed by stubborn geographical boundaries. Seas, rivers, deserts and mountains continue to shape international politics. Would Russia have acted as it did - either in the past, or the present - had it not been for the vast North European Plain? Would India and China have seen each other in a different light in the absence of the great Himalayas dividing them? And would Sweden have been able co maintain its 200 years of peace, had it not been embedded in a buffer-zone of friendly neighbours? And yet the values we place on geography and resources are, in their turn, also shaped by politics. Vladimir Putin called the break-up of the Soviet Union the greatest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century. The faces of geopolitics never went away, but geopolitical discourse has returned co the world stage with a vengeance. The essays in this volume seem from the Engelsberg seminar - The Return of Geopolitics - held between June 9-11, 2016, at Avesta Manor, Sweden.
