梳理中國外交發展史 探索世界秩序重構下的外交政策方向 中國外交是中國與世界秩序互動的歷史過程。因此,要把握中國外交的方向,並提出分析和政策建議,必須把中國放置在整個世界秩序中,然後客觀描述它所處的位置,以及其他國家與它產生互動的方式。 中國如何在參與世界秩序的同時,避免與由美國領導的國際社會發生過於激烈的衝突?作者希望透過本書,讓讀者探索、分析並理性地思考出答案。 本書着重分析世界秩序的歷史與轉變,藉由中國在前現代時期至今在外交上的變化,重點探討自改革開放以來中國就着自身條件和世界發展進程之下外交方針的走向。
A vigorous and timely defense of the state as a force for good For decades now wealth and power have been shifting from states to markets. This experiment has been a failure for all but a privileged few. But this trend is beginning to reverse, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has seen the state play the most direct and positive role in citizens' everyday lives in living memory. Graeme Garrard makes a powerful case for the state as our only realistic hope of countering the rising power of multinational corporations, organized crime, and international organizations that will always put their own interests first. Today the state is essential to the health and welfare of everyone except the rich and powerful. Yet it is being rolled back and whittled away, leaving the well-being of most of us at the mercy of unaccountable private powers that are increasingly free from external control. As Garrard shows, the state is the only realistic way of promoting the public good in our time.
The Military Revolution and Revolutions in Military Affairs updates two central debates in military history--the one surrounding the concept of military revolution, and the one on military affairs--whilst advancing original research in both fields. Only a handful of publications consider the military revolution and the RMA in tandem. This book breaks new ground conceptually and appeals to an exceptionally large and diverse readership. Comparative revisionist studies of the military revolution and RMA better enable us to comprehend the historical continuum and reveal the new RMA for what it is. And for what it is shortly to become. This book presents original contributions within the "epicent...
"Sobre a Guerra" reúne textos de grandes especialistas que enfocam a guerra através de diferentes perspectivas: geopolítica, econômica, histórica. A dimensão ética da guerra, raramente enfocada, é aqui discutida de forma central. Esses textos tematizam de modo bastante esclarecedor tanto o conceito de "guerra", seus sentidos e suas implicações, quanto analisam a guerra enquanto fenômeno histórico e contemporâneo com que nos defrontamos em nosso dia a dia. E nos desafiam a pensar se é possível imaginar, ou mesmo desejar, um mundo sem guerras.
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.

She also made a series of limited edition offset prints based on her Tree Drawings.
"[An] incredibly moving collection of oral histories . . . important enough to be added to the history curriculum" Telegraph "A moving evocation of the 'everyday terror' systematically perpetrated over 41 years of Albanian communism . . . An illuminating if harrowing insight into life in a totalitarian state." Clarissa de Waal, author of ALBANIA: PORTRAIT OF A COUNTRY IN TRANSITION "Albania, enigmatic, mysterious Albania, was always the untold story of the Cold War, the 1989 revolutions and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.
