Postcommunism and the Body Politic
The epidemic of mass rape in the former Yugoslavia has illustrated once again, and in particularly brutal fashion, the inextricable relationship between national politics, sexual politics, and body politics. The nexus of these three forces is highly charged in any culture, at any time in history, but especially so among cultures in which rapid, even cataclysmic, changes in material realities and national self-conceptions are eroding or overwhelming previously secure boundaries. The postcommunist moment in the so-called Second World--Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union--has dramatically exposed the opportunities and dangers that arise when the political, cultural, and econo...
No Peer Rivals
With military maneuvers in Taiwan and the South China Sea and the eruption of war in Ukraine, the past few years have brought deteriorating diplomatic relations and increasing military and economic tensions between the United States, China, and Russia. After benefiting from the geopolitical and financial advantages conferred by a privileged status as a global superpower for three decades, the United States needs to adapt to a geopolitical shift toward competition and confrontation in order to contain China’s quest for global superpower status. No Peer Rivals takes a major staple of International Relations scholarship—the offensive realist paradigm—and develops a comprehensive and pract...

If China seems unstoppable, so too does its leader Xi Jinping. As General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and President of China, he commands over 1.4 billion people, in a vast country that spans the prosperous megacities of Beijing and Shanghai and desperately poor rural regions where families still struggle with malnutrition. Today, Xi Jinping faces a series of monumental challenges that would make other global leaders tremble: a trade war with the USA, political unrest in Hong Kong, accusations of genocide in Xinjiang, stuttering economic growth and a devastating global pandemic that originated inside China. But who is Xi Jinping and what does he really want? To rejuvenate China ...

Xi Jinping
Kina er verdens mest folkerike land, med over 1,4 milliarder innbyggere. Den kinesiske staten ekspanderer økonomisk over hele verden og har enorme planer for å flytte verdens maktsentrum tilbake dit de mener det hører hjemme: i sentral-Asia. Samtidig sliter Vesten med politiske konflikter og ulike kriser. Verdens mektigste mann er ikke lengre USAs president. Det er Xi Jinping, generalsekretæren i kommunistpartiet og Kinaspresident siden 2013. Til tross for maktposisjonen sin er Xi Jinping lite kjent for de fleste. Hvordan kom han dit han er i dag, og hva er fremtidsplanene hans? Alle som ønsker å forstå Kina trenger å vite hva som driver Xi Jinping. Forfatterne av boken er de to svært velrennomerte journalistene Stefan Aust og Adrian Geiges som begge kjenner kinesiske forhold fra innsiden.
