Summary of Alan Crawford & Tony Czuczka's Angela Merkel
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Greece was the pivotal challenge of a chancellorship forged in crisis. Faced with economic and financial turmoil stemming from Greece, which threatened the euro, Merkel was forced to adapt and balance external demands for greater action with domestic political constraints on doing so. #2 When she became chancellor, Merkel took over a Germany that was struggling to adapt to the challenges of globalization. She brought the rigor of scientific analysis she’d learned in the physics laboratories of East Berlin and Leipzig to problem-solving of an economic and financial nature. #3 As the euro crisis ravaged Greece, Merkel was heavily criticized for her lack of support, but she stood by the country and saved the euro on her terms. She became Europe’s de-facto leader, but with resentment of her newly assertive Germany growing, it was far from clear whether the rest of Europe was prepared to share the journey to her final destination.

The Century of the Emerging World
This book explores how the first decade of the 21st century was nothing short of “les années folles”. The impressive growth rate of emerging economies changed the crisis-ridden world in a very short time, and in the early 2000s the emerging world’s weight in the global economy was 38%, now 50%. This statistic confirms the political reality of the century of the emerging world. The monograph shows that the long-term tendencies inaugurated during this decade represent a silent revolution, as significant as the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, and this will lead to a geopolitical reconfiguration hard to envision right now.
