Fitzpatrick S: The Death of Stalin

The Death of Stalin

Kein Deutscher kennt die Lage besser als erSeit Beginn der russischen Invasion der Ukraine reiste Ibrahim Naber immer wieder bis an die vordersten Linien des Krieges. Kein anderer Reporter hat so nah und über einen so langen Zeitraum vom Leben und Sterben an der Front berichtet - aber auch von den großen Konflikten im Hinterland, von der Mobilisierung und Korruption bis zu den Machtkämpfen in Kiew. 
Naber begleitete Soldaten bei der Verteidigung Bachmuts, und er war dabei, als die ukrainische Armee den Vorstoß in die russische Grenzregion Kursk wagte. Er erlebte, wie die Gegenoffensive 2023 krachend scheiterte und Tausende Ukrainer starben. Er begleitete etliche Frontsoldaten, die heute nicht mehr leben, und wurde selbst Opfer eines russischen Drohnenangriffs. Ibrahim Naber verbindet die großen Linien dieses Krieges, blickt hinter die PR-Fassaden und schreibt, was er bis jetzt nicht schreiben durfte oder konnte.Putin hat seine Politik, seine Wirtschaft und die russische Gesellschaft auf Krieg ausgerichtet. Ihm geht es um große geopolitische Machtverschiebungen. Das muss auch im Kontext der immer stärkeren chinesisch-russischen Allianz gesehen werden. Egal, wann und wie es zum Waffenstillstand in der Ukraine kommt, bedeutet dies für Deutschland und Europa noch keinen anhaltenden Frieden. Der Angriff auf die Ukraine ist der Beginn einer langen Zerreißprobe.

Was ich an der ukrainischen Front erlebt habe und warum der Kampf um Europa erst beginnt

Der Krieg ist näher, als Du denkst

Decisions are everywhere--from a group's choice of pizza to a decision on a family vacation to the elections of political leaders. Central to the functioning of our organizations is the belief that these decisions reflect the wishes of voters. Yet most voting rules are unreliable and can lead to unfair outcomes. And, while a large body of academic literature describes the flaws and limitations of standard voting methods, little is known about why they occur.

In Fair Voting Methods, Donald G. Saari explores the difficulties that have plagued social choice theory for over seventy-five years. Focusing on ranked choice voting and group decision-making, Saari expands on Arrow's impossibility theorem and presents a more precise statement: all standard voting rules either fail to always rank the candidates to determine who is preferred to whom, or the voting outcomes can result in inferior choices that are not what the voters wanted. Saari then identifies and resolves the structures that negatively impact voting systems. While Arrow's seminal result asserted that the problems of standard voting systems are unavoidable, Saari makes a bold and compelling case that there are indeed usable fair voting methods. He introduces one such method that achieves Arrow's objectives of always ranking candidates with outcomes that reflect voters' intent. The book concludes by applying insights from voting theory into other topics where parts are also assembled into wholes, including judgement aggregation, corporate structures, crime prevention, the US Electoral College, and standard scientific procedures.

The Future Is Peace

The global economic edifice built after World War II is a source of unprecedented prosperity. It cannot function without open and predictable international trade, and the peaceful international relations that are its foundation. The rules that enable trade are under attack. Social divisions and great power rivalry have eroded the political support for open trade. The consequence is fragmentation of world trade, its separation into blocks that advance domestic producers or favored nations nearby. These blocs are themselves often pulled apart by competing agendas. The prospects are for vastly reduced economic efficiency and - most ominously - heightened geopolitical tensions. The questions about why this is happening, how economic fragmentation will evolve, and how to respond to it, are uppermost in the minds of policymakers and businesses across the world. These are the questions that Uri Dadush seeks to answer. Since the uncertainty cannot be dispelled, it must be better managed.

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. This wide-ranging intellectual and media history traces China's emergence as a modern state in which boundaries blur between art and design, education and psychological conditioning. Tracking the parallel development of set design and social engineering from the 1920s to the 1960s, Background Matters examines the concept of huanjing (environment), a neologism introduced at the turn of the twentieth century that evoked heated intellectual debates and inspired frenzied aesthetic experimentation. Weihong Bao shows how efforts to reshape the mind consolidated the idea and art of environment by advancing a new theoretical notion of set design: both as aesthetic organization across film, theater, radio, and television and as social experimentation in worldmaking across geopolitical and transnational contexts. Inventive and breathtaking in scope, this book radically rethinks environment not as an external object but as the nexus of mind, medium, and society.

Background Matters: Volume 9

It was the deadliest terrorist attack of the twentieth century, a bombing which shocked the world. But was the wrong person found guilty?December 21, 1988. All flights between London and New York are full, except for Pan Am 103, where almost half the seats are empty. Thirty-eight minutes after take-off, as the plane flies over the tiny Scottish village of Lockerbie, a bomb explodes in the hull. All 259 people aboard perish.The attack is not a surprise - American diplomats had been warned not to fly with Pan Am - but the flight goes ahead. Eleven years later, a Libyan national is convicted of orchestrating the attack, a judgement which has been increasingly questioned and scrutinized due to its political implications and the fact that no physical evidence was found to tie the man to the crime.In late 2022, journalist Jan Stocklassa is trawling through the late Stieg Larsson's archive of documents when he discovers that the world-famous crime author had been investigating the Lockerbie bombing prior to his death, and he picks up the trail. Who was really behind the terrorist attack? Was it just a coincidence that the flight was half-empty that day? And who stands to benefit the most from the truth being buried all these years?Full of intrigue, scandal and drama, The Man Who Fell From The Sky is a breathless rollercoaster which lifts the lid on a real-life international conspiracy, a deadly plot, and one man's relentless fight for the truth.

The CIA, Lockerbie and the Hunt for the Truth

The Man Who Fell From The Sky

A centuries-spanning tour de force that speaks directly to the present, The Global Origins of Capitalism will reshape our understanding of economic history. Democratic market societies are in crisis. Social dislocation, anomie, and global ecological collapse live side-by-side with unimaginable wealth. Alongside real global improvements in health and longevity we find ourselves buffeted by a never-ending cycle of forces beyond our power or understanding. Gradually over a thousand years, and then quickly in the blink of an historical eye, capitalism has taken over human life, transforming our social relations and very consciousness. In The Global Origins of Capitalism, Yochai Benkler describes how this out-of-human-control dynamic evolved to the point where it overwhelmed all opposition, bringing with it both unimaginable prosperity and recurring patterns of inequality and social dislocation, and why all efforts to tame it have, to this point, failed. In doing so, Benkler provides a major reinterpretation of the entire history of modern capitalism, from the founding of Baghdad--the first major proto-capitalist node in a half-globe-spanning network through which institutions and knowledge, technologies and raw materials, people and products flowed--to the present. Innovation, production, trade, and distribution have always involved creation and leveraging of power, yet power is an issue that, over time, the mainstream economics profession came to treat as secondary or even insignificant. For that reason, only a new institutional political economy, one that puts power at the core of our analysis, can help us grasp our condition and point us toward solutions. New technologies created amazing new possibilities for production, but also triggered unemployment, migration, and conflict as new ways of doing things disrupted settled ways of life, making some poor and others rich. The invention of finance made the first capitalist states the most powerful countries in the world, but also introduced the boom-bust cycles that have destabilized modern societies ever since. After charting the entire trajectory of global capitalism through this political-economic prism, Benkler closes with an analysis of our present crisis, in which the system that has governed our lives since the 1970s is collapsing around us. A centuries-spanning tour de force that speaks directly to the present, The Global Origins of Capitalism shows how economic history and political history are really one and the same.

Celebrated for its natural beauty and its abundance of wildlife, the Mekong river runs thousands of miles through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Its basin is home to more than 70 million people and has for centuries been one of the world's richest agricultural areas and a biodynamic wonder. Today, however, it is undergoing profound changes. Development policies, led by a rising China in particular, aim to interconnect the region and urbanize the inhabitants. In this new and comprehensively updated edition of Last Days of the Mighty Mekong, Brian Eyler gives his first-hand account of the impact on the river of the tumultuous political period since the book's original publication. From the lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic and a devastating drought to the increasing political tensions and resource competition between China and Trump-era America, Eyler recounts his own increasing involvements in international efforts to protect this precious and delicate environment. Along the way he meets the region's diverse peoples, from villagers to community leaders, politicians to policy makers. Through conversations with them he reveals the urgent struggle to save the Mekong and its unique ecosystem.

Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance

This volume explores the economic and financial contexts behind a period of large-scale bankruptcies in Europe across the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. With a particular focus on Spanish and Italian case studies, contributions analyse numerous aspects of failure and insolvency during this time.Despite growing contemporary interest in economic crises—particularly in the aftermath of 2008—the history of bankruptcy practices and the responsibilities of financial actors within the context of early globalisation remains largely underexplored. This volume responds to that need, offering a detailed, archivally grounded and theoretically robust investigation into parallels that exist in early modern Europe. Drawing out comparative analyses between modern and early modern financial crises, the book illuminates how early modern states developed systems of guarantees in tandem with the growth of mercantile capitalism, and covers questions including public debt management, financial transparency, the accountability of economic actors, and the relationship between political and economic power. This book will be a fascinating read for scholars of early modern financial and economic history.Giuseppe De Luca
