From one of our shrewdest economic trend-spotters, a wake-up call that prosperity is about to shift from the West to the East, and what we can do before it’s too late Titel: Three billion new capitalists : the great shift of wealth and power to the East Udgave: 1. udgave Genre: historie_samfund Sammendrag: Clyde Prestowitz beskriver, hvordan globaliseringen og fremvæksten af markedsøkonomier i Asien og tidligere planøkonomier har tilført verdensøkonomien omkring tre milliarder nye kapitalister. Han analyserer, hvordan denne udvikling ændrer magtbalancen mellem USA/Europa og lande som Kina og Indien. Bogen gennemgår de økonomiske, industrielle og politiske drivkræfter bag væksten i Østen, og hvordan outsourcing, handelspolitik og teknologisk udvikling udfordrer USA’s traditionelle økonomiske dominans. Prestowitz argumenterer for, at USA og Vesten må gentænke deres økonomiske strategi og f
Bogen undersøger den moderne internationaliseringsproces og dens konsekvenser for stater og samfund. Jørgen Ørstrøm Møller gennemgår, hvordan økonomisk og politisk globalisering udfordrer den klassiske idé om national suverænitet og statens eneret til at lovgive inden for egne grænser. Han beskriver, hvordan internationale organisationer, aftaler og institutioner gradvist får større indflydelse på nationale beslutninger, og hvordan dette både kan styrke og begrænse det enkelte lands handlefrihed. Undervejs diskuteres, om udviklingen peger mod en ny, mere regelbaseret verdensorden med stærkere internationalt samarbejde, eller om verden snarere bevæger sig mod et fragmenteret system uden klar ledelse. Bogen er rettet mod læsere med interesse for international politik, globalisering, samfundsvidenskab og moderne historie. Type: Hardcover Dansksproget fagbog af Jørgen Ørstrøm Møller om inter
An urgent and essential assessment of the global contest between the US and China, and how looking to history will help us to navigate it, from former Director of Chatham House[Bokinfo]. Titel: The New Cold War Genre: historie_samfund,international politik,geopolitik Forlag: Atlantic Books Sammendrag: Bogen giver en samlet, analytisk gennemgang af den voksende rivalisering mellem USA og Kina og hvorfor den kan betragtes som en ny kold krig. Robin Niblett trækker på erfaringer som tidligere direktør for tænketanken Chatham House til at forklare, hvordan historiske erfaringer, ideologi, økonomisk afhængighed, teknologi og sikkerhedspolitik former relationen mellem de to stormagter. Han ser på konsekvenserne for Europa, Asien og resten af verden, og på hvordan mindre og mellemstore stater må navigere mellem stormagterne. Bogen diskuterer både risikoen for konflikt og mulighederne for samarb
The putative new world order, when viewed from different regions of the globe, is not really new, is hardly global in scope, and is anything but orderly in its development. In this volume, an international cast of contributors comes together to share regional perspectives on questions about peace and security, economic growth and welfare, and democracy and civil society in the post–Cold War world. They find that there has been “uneven globalization” with strong “regional variation”—two important concepts that this book brings to theory-building beyond the rhetoric of new world order thinking. An ideal supplement for many courses in international relations, Whose World Order? transcends the typically Eurocentric view projected in most textbooks, combining theory and practical evidence from the different regions in innovative applications and analyses. The contributors to this volume share
Om de drivkræfter, der har medvirket til at verden er blevet flad, i den forstand, at der er skabt en virtuel global digital arbejdsplatform. Fra Berlinmurens fald til de nyeste tendenser inden for teknologi og livsstil The beginning of the twenty-first century will be remembered, Friedman argues, not for military conflicts or political events, but for a whole new age of globalization – a ‘flattening’ of the world. The explosion of advanced technologies now means that suddenly knowledge pools and resources have connected all over the planet, levelling the playing field as never before, so that each of us is potentially an equal – and competitor – of the other. The rules of the game have changed forever – but does this ‘death of distance’, which requires us all to run faster in order to stay in the same place, mean the world has got too small and too flat too fast for us to adjust? Friedm
Meredith offers a compelling look at the major changes in store as America faces increasing competition from India and China--two emerging economic giants. The Elephant and the Dragon is the essential guide to understanding how India and China are reshaping our world. With labor now unbound from geographic borders, we're seeing startling shifts in how and where nearly everything we buy is made. In a compelling mix of history and on-the-ground reporting, veteran journalist Robyn Meredith untangles the complex web of business and politics, as well as environmental and cultural issues that entwine India, China, and the West. She also outlines how Americans, business leaders, workers, politicians, even parents can understand the vast changes coming and thrive in this new age.

Since the terrorist atrocities in New York and Washington on 11 September 2001 and the subsequent 'War on Terrorism', the question of American foreign policy has become more vital than ever. In this timely, thoughtful and important book America's most famous diplomatist explains why a new coherent foreign policy is urgently needed and what the goals of this policy should be. Kissinger covers the wide range of problems facing the United States at the beginning of a new millennium and a new presidency paying particular interest to the various 'hot spots' around the world. DOES AMERICA NEED A FOREIGN POLICY? offers a clear-eyed assessment of how the United States' dominant position may be effectively reconciled with the crucial need, in the twenty-first century, to achieve a bold new world order. In nine accessibly written chapters Kissinger examines America's present and future relations w
