Reclaiming Our Planet
Offers hope for beating climate change by highlighting moments in history in which humans have successfully reversed environmental damage. The popular media is full of doomsday scenarios regarding the environment and especially climate change. Perhaps these scare-tactics are necessary to call the public to action, however, they also have the unintended effect of convincing people that there is no hope for our planet. In Reclaiming Our Planet: How Environmental History Can Help Solve the Climate Crisis, Alexander Gates explores past environmental crises that humanity has faced and successfully addressed to encourage readers that slowing and preventing climate change is possible. From the elim...
The Indonesian Economy in Transition
By any indicator, Indonesia, the fourth most populous nation on earth, is a development success story. Yet 20 years after a deep economic and political crisis, it is still in some respects an economy in transition. The country recovered from the 1997–98 crisis and navigated the path from authoritarian to democratic rule surprisingly quickly and smoothly. It survived the 2008–09 global financial crisis and the end of the China-driven commodity super boom in 2014 with little difficulty. It is now embarking on its fifth round of credible national elections in the democratic era. It is in the process of graduating to the upper middle-income ranks. But, as the 25 contributors to this comprehe...
In the Dragon's Shadow
A timely look at the impact of China’s booming emergence on the countries of Southeast Asia Today, Southeast Asia stands uniquely exposed to the waxing power of the new China. Three of its nations border China and five are directly impacted by its claims over the South China Sea. All dwell in the lengthening shadow of its influence: economic, political, military, and cultural. As China seeks to restore its former status as Asia’s preeminent power, the countries of Southeast Asia face an increasingly stark choice: flourish within Beijing’s orbit or languish outside of it. Meanwhile, as rival powers including the United States take concerted action to curb Chinese ambitions, the region has emerged as an arena of heated strategic competition. Drawing on more than a decade of on-the-ground experience, Sebastian Strangio explores the impacts of China’s rise on Southeast Asia, the varied ways in which the countries of the region are responding, and what it might mean for the future balance of power in the Indo-Pacific.

All'ombra del dragone
L'influenza della Cina si allunga inarrestabile come un'ombra sul Sudest asiatico, dove la vicinanza geografica con Pechino è allo stesso tempo una benedizione e una maledizione. All'ombra del dragone tratteggia la storia del rapporto tra le nazioni della regione e la Cina e delinea l'attuale situazione geopolitica, analizzando ogni ambito della relazione: economico, politico, militare e culturale. Mentre la Cina cerca di ripristinare l'antico status di potenza dominante dell'Asia, i Paesi del Sudest asiatico devono affrontare una scelta sempre più complessa: prosperare all'interno della sua orbita o languire al di fuori di essa. Intanto mentre le potenze rivali, inclusi gli Stati Uniti, intraprendono azioni concertate per frenare le ambizioni cinesi, la regione è emersa come un'area cruciale di competizione strategica. Basandosi su più di un decennio di esperienza sul campo, Sebastian Strangio esplora gli impatti dell'ascesa della Cina sul Sudest asiatico, come i Paesi della regione stanno rispondendo e il peso di questo scenario per i futuri equilibri di potere a livello globale.

Pandangan itu umumnya dikemukakan oleh mereka yang menganggap profesi polisi merupakan profesi laki-laki. Oleh karena itu, sebagian kerap melihat polwan dengan bias gender. Mereka menganggap, jika ada polwan yang bisa menerobos dominasi polisi pria, itu mungkin karena “diberi jalan”. Buku ini menggambarkan bahwa sesungguhnya jiwa “Esthi Bhakti Warapsari” terpateri kuat pada diri polwan, setidaknya pada sejumlah polwan yang memang memiliki prestasi menonjol. Di antara polwan-polwan yang berprestasi itu...
The Political Economy of China-Indonesia Relations in 2022
2022 was another crucial year for China-Indonesia relations. The cooperation continued to grow and expand in various fields. While political and economic fields remain the arenas where the ties between China and Indonesia predominantly revolved, 2022 witnessed numerous developments in the soft-power fields. These included China’s growing media influence and its public diplomacy towards the Muslim community aimed to augment its positive image among Indonesians. Such efforts appeared to be a response to the fact that in recent years Indonesians’ view of China has not been positive. In the 2022's survey, there was a decline in the public's positive feelings towards China decreased significa...
