This story is set in the near distant future. Global warming has continued unabated with disastrous effects on the planet. Almost simultaneously,a number of things happen which will have a profound effect on the future and on mankind's chances of survival in a world as we know it. A Swiss climbing expedition on Mount Everest makes a serendipitous discovery following a near disaster. Halfway across the world, in two highly secure laboratories, the world's last smallpox virus is set for destruction. Furthermore, Nazi gold, lost after the second world war is rumored to have surfaced once again and is being used to further the goals originally embraced by the Third Reich. These three, seemingly unrelated, events are set on a collision course that will land them in the lap of Dr. Dennis St. George of the Centers for Disease Control. He will be plunged into a maelstrom which will threaten to destroy him and all he holds dear, and it is only with the help of an expatriate New Zealand climber and his Tibetan companion, that he, and millions of others, will stand a chance of survival.

In the years after 1945, a flood of U.S. advisors swept into Latin America with dreams of building a new economic order and lifting the Third World out of poverty. By the 1960s, they had remade the country's housing projects, river valleys, and universities. In this groundbreaking book, the author shows the entanglement of American societies and the contradictory promises of midcentury statebuilding.

Au cœur de l’actualité internationale depuis l’invasion russe, l’Ukraine demeure aussi paradoxalement un pays méconnu. Pays le plus vaste de l’ensemble du continent européen après la Russie, l’Ukraine comptait 44 millions d’habitants en février 2022. Sa trajectoire politique et économique s’est avérée particulièrement chaotique depuis son accession à l’indépendance en 1991. Ce numéro de Questions internationales s’attache à rendre accessibles les principaux enjeux géopolitiques du conflit actuel et les spécificités de l’identité de ce pays européen entre Est et Ouest.
