Dans le prEsent ouvrage, qui est un livre singuliErement dangereux, A ne surtout pas mettre entre toutes les mains, je n'ai moi-mEme rien fait d'autre que de tEmoigner en continuitE de la marche en avant, des dEveloppements consEquents d'une certaine conscience impEriale rEvolutionnaire grand-europEenne. Etape par Etape. En accompagnant ainsi son propre cours, et le plus souvent en le devanCant, et de beaucoup ce n'est pas un travail analytique suivi que j'ai entrepris de faire lA, mais un travail fondamentalement visionnaire, dont l'horizon propre se situait dans l'histoire de l'au-delA...

Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States of America, ended his second—and final—term in office on January 20th, 2017.

For eight years, President Obama, along with then-First Lady Michelle Obama, worked to define a new America; a better nation: one that was more inclusive, prosperous and forward-looking than previous administrations. They emphasized the importance of an educated and engaged population, and achieved much in their time in leadership. But much work remains to be done.

Collected herein are the Obama’s final speeches as the...

American foreign policy is in a state of upheaval. The rise of Donald Trump and his "America First" platform have created more uncertainty about America's role in the world than at any time in recent decades. From the South China Sea, to the Middle East, to the Baltics and Eastern Europe, the geopolitical challenges to U.S. power and influence seem increasingly severe--and America's responses to those challenges seem increasingly unsure. Questions that once had widely...

Rarely has a topic proved to be more relevant, as it evolved over the course of the year, than “Authority in Question.” All over the world, traditional structures of authority are in a state of upheaval. The establishment, once regarded as a guarantor of constancy, has been punished and voted out of office. New sources of authority are emerging, and we do not yet know how they will evolve. This book shines a light on this change and investigates it thoroughly.

“In this very interesting and illuminating book, Otobo makes a significant contribution to improving our understanding of Africa's development performance. He offers a new way of looking at the development prospects of individual countries by focusing on the three structural constraints which have impeded their past performance and still cast a long shadow over their development prospects. This book should be a required reading by African policy makers and students of African affairs.”

Sinopsis de la obra

De aqui parte la dicotomia milenaria en la que se sustenta la geopolitica clasica, la confrontacion elemental tierra/mar, bellamente expuesta por Carl Schmitt en su reconocida obra de similar titulo, que se produce entre estados e imperios que se fundamentan sobre el poder terrestre (telurocracia) y los que gravitan alrededor del poder maritimo (talasocracia); y vale insistir en que estos dos conceptos no solo representan diferencias en sus connotaciones geograficas y estrategicas, sino, principalmente, distintas cosmovisiones y estilos de...

The election of the Liberal-National Party in 2013 was meant to put an end to division within Australian politics, after three years of painstaking internal leadership warfare in the Labor Party.

But nobody told Tony Abbott. He assumed, quite wrongly, the electorate voted him in to pursue his conservative ideological projects, rather than restore stability to the political system.

We start in the week before the 2013 election and travel through the bizarre nature of Tony Abbott's prime ministership, and how he couldn't make the transition from combative Leader of the Opposition...
