The Wires of War
"From the former news policy lead at Google, an urgent and groundbreaking account of the high-stakes global cyberwar brewing between Western democracies and the autocracies of China and Russia that could potentially crush democracy. From 2016 to 2020, Jacob Helberg led Google's global internal product policy efforts to combat disinformation and foreign interference. During this time, he found himself in the midst of what can only be described as a quickly escalating two-front technology cold war between democracy and autocracy. On the front-end, we're fighting to control the software--applications, news information, social media platforms, and more--of what we see on the screens of our compu...
Negotiated Settlements in Bribery Cases
This thought-provoking book examines the scope, benefits and challenges of negotiated settlements as an enforcement mechanism in bribery cases, and demonstrates the need for a more harmonized and principled approach to deterring corporate bribery. Written by a global team of experts with backgrounds in legal practice, policy work and academia, it offers a truly international perspective, considering negotiated settlements in view of a variety of different legal systems and traditions.
Beijing's Global Media Offensive
Beijing's Global Media Offensive is a major analysis of how China is attempting to build a media and information superpower around the world, and to use it to impact many countries' societies, media markets, politics, and economies. Joshua Kurlantzick traces the ways in which China is trying to build an information and influence superpower and critically examines the new conventional wisdom that Beijing has been extremely successful in these efforts. In some ways, he argues, China has built the foundations of a global media and information superpower, including global TV networks, social media platforms, global radio networks, apps, and the backbones of wireless and wired networking, but has yet to reap many gains from its efforts, and actually has alienated many other states.
Awakening to China's Rise
Awakening to China's Rise provides the most comprehensive analysis to date of how Europe's major powers have responded to the re-emergence of China as a great power in world politics since the end of the Cold War. To do so, it puts forward a unique cross-regional comparison of how the major European powers (France, Germany and the United Kingdom) have confronted Chinese assertiveness both in the Asia-Pacific and in Europe. Firstly, it analyses their response to China's increasingly muscular regional posture in the Asia-Pacific through the development of diplomatic and security initiatives with partners in the region. Secondly, it delineates how they have confronted China's inroads into Europ...
China-US Competition
This open access edited book brings together a closer examination of European and Asian responses to the escalating rivalry between the US and China. As the new Cold War has surfaced as a perceivable reality in the post-COVID era, the topic itself is of great importance to policymakers, academic researchers, and the interested public. Furthermore, this manuscript makes a valuable contribution to an under-studied and increasingly important phenomenon in international relations: the impact of the growing strategic competition between the United States and China on third parties, such as small and middle powers in the two arguably most affected regions of the world: Europe and East Asia. The European side has been under-studied and explicitly comparative work on Europe and East Asia is extremely rare. Given that the manuscript focuses heavily on recent developments—and because many of these developments have been quite dramatic—there are very few publications that cover the same topics.
Jacinda Ardern pragmática, empática, fuerte y amable (Magis 479)
Cambiar de año no es cambiar de mundo, y al comenzar 2021 nuestra realidad difícilmente será muy distinta de la que veníamos habitando hasta el 31 de diciembre pasado. Sin embargo, en estas fechas siempre está a nuestro alcance al menos una pequeña cantidad de ilusión y de esperanza, y podemos disponer de ellas para retomar la marcha. Volver la vista atrás tendrá sentido en la medida en que lo hagamos para recuperar los mejores aprendizajes: es por ello que queremos dar la bienvenida a este nuevo año con un repaso a las voces de mujeres y hombres cuyas historias, aun cuando lo vivido por cada quien es único e irrepetible, podrán resultarte muy cercanas. En pro de orientar nuestra...
Crossing Borders
Crossing Borders helps students develop a framework for understanding the various disciplines that constitute international studies by exploring the many boundaries they knowingly (and unknowingly) cross on a daily basis. Renowned authors Harry I. Chernotsky and Heidi H. Hobbs address the diverse fields of international studies—geography, politics, economics, sociology, and anthropology—giving instructors a launching point to pursue their own disciplinary interests. This bestseller not only helps students to better grasp international affairs, but also offers advice on how they can engage with global issues through study abroad, internships, and career options. Updated thoroughly to reflect recent events and trends, the Fourth Edition assesses the COVID-19 pandemic; the use of social media to interfere in elections; the role of China in trade, investment, and finance; and the tensions surrounding persistent racial and gender inequities around the world.

破解北京的全球媒體攻勢
全面解析中國如何想方設法成為媒體與資訊的超級強權，以便操弄世界各國的國內政治，尤其是目前地緣政治的熱點：東亞。 自從中國在1990年代崛起，觀察者多把焦點放在中國的經濟成長與軍事擴張。當時中國在資訊與媒體方面的投射能力仍然十分受限，然而情況已經改變，由北京當局操控的官方媒體不僅大幅改頭換面且積極向外發展。正當許多民主國家的媒體受制於財務壓力而紛紛進行整併之際，中國最大的官方媒體，例如新華社，卻開始現代化、專業化、努力被國際讀者看見。他們到了海外，無論是透過與當地關係密...
Textbook of Neuromodulation
Until recently, it was thought that the adult brain is modifiable only during early stages of ontogenesis. However, neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies now indicate that the mature human brain is, under certain conditions, capable of substantial neuroplastic changes. Neuroplasticity reflects the ability of the human brain to alter the pattern of neural activation in response to previous experience, and recent findings indicate that the effects of experience can lead to both structural as well as functional reorganization. It has been shown that pathological neuroplastic changes can be reverted/normalized and that the modulation of the neuroplastic changes can be paralleled by improve...
