A quarter of a century in power has allowed Vladimir Putin to enrich himself. He has done this by plundering Russias resources, confiscated private businesses and persecuted those who stood against him including Boris Berezovsky, Vladimir Gusinsky, Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Bill Browder. Putin put their assets under the control of his friends and cronies, who creamed off billions from nominally-state owned corporations.In 2022 Fortune Magazine estimated Putins personal fortune at $200 billion. The revenues he stole allowed Putin to build up an unparalleled war chest and this he used to pay for the invasion of Ukraine.The people Putin robbed he tortured and murdered. Some tried to fight back. Of these original oligarchs only Roman Abramovich survives.This is the fascinating story of what has happened to the men that Putin dispossessed and where their money went. But revenge is best served with cool heads and sharp minds. A small team of legal experts has spent the last twenty years pursuing Putin in the courts of the world. These legal experts are based in London and they are set on reclaiming this enormous wealth.The effect on the War in Ukraine will be just one result of their determined efforts.

A New Perspective for Biblical Justice in International Relations Practicing a Christian vision of justice as a citizen in ones own country is difficult enough. Add on the challenge of establishing and living out a Christian ethic among states, where there may be few established norms and shared values, and you have the gargantuan task of doing international relations.Does Christianity have anything to say about global justice for modern nation-states? Can we look to the biblical vision for help with the complex problems of a globalized world? Robert Joustra answers with a resounding yes.Christ and Covenant in Global Politics casts a compelling vision for a Christian approach to international relations that seeks to transform global politics from systems driven by fear to covenantal global community based in shared loves, drawing on Augustines understanding of rightly ordered loves and a contemporary Christian notion of covenantal pluralism. This groundbreaking textbook is designed for professors and students of international relations, offering a unique, faith-driven approach to global politics.In Christ and Covenant in Global Politics, Joustra introduces international relations through a distinctly Christian lens; demonstrates how the Christian worldview can positively shape international politics; equips students to thoughtfully engage with pluralism and multiculturalism in international politics; and moves beyond discussions of biblical justice within states toward discussions of biblical justice between and among states. Christ and Covenant in Global Politics is a first-of-its-kind work that provides a comprehensive introduction to the state of international relations theory today as well as a constructive account of a truly Christian vision for global politics. Joustra provides a systematic treatment of introductory political theology of world politics, then applies that foundation to key issues in the international system: diplomacy, war, political economy, and climate. Ideal for the undergraduate level, this book is a gift to those who to want to learn to love their neighbor on the global stage.

In 2019, it looked like the electoral map of Britain had been changed for ever, with once solidly Labour constituencies voting Conservative for the first time. An epochal realignment seemed to be in train that saw the Conservative electoral coalition become much more northern and working class and Labour depending more on middle-class voters in the south. Only a few years later, the realignment lies in ruins.The Red Wall has returned to Labour, and its clear 2019 was a blip. Tories are now jostling amongst themselves to be seen as the heirs to Thatcher. Its almost like the promise of change and levelling up was a fever dream as political parties and voters revert to type.What happened? And what can be done? The Conservatives made a big promise to Red Wall voters in 2019, speaking openly about first-time Conservative voters lending their support and promising that this trust wouldnt be forgotten. They swept the Red Wall with a promise of big economic change.In reality, that was quickly forgotten and the realignment was put in the too-difficult box, in favour of Thatcherite cosplaying that appealed to a tiny core of Tory members but didnt address the real problems the country faced. But the politics behind it cannot be ignored.This book will address what went wrong with the so-called realignment and what needs to be done to revive it.

At a time when democracies seem paralyzed by fear and populations are turning inward, award-winning journalist John Kampfner travels to ten countries confronting our shared challenges with bravery and imagination.In Japan, he discovers inter-generational care homes ensuring dignity in later life - while Britain ducks the social care question. He visits Viennas century-old housing projects where 60% of residents live in subsidised accommodation without stigma and communities thrive. Taiwans health system achieves 90% patient satisfaction at a fraction of the cost of the NHS. From Moroccan solar panels in the Sahara producing enough clean energy to power two million homes to Finnish classrooms preparing children for an uncertain world that Britains teaching-to-the-test system cannot match - Kampfner introduces us to the people making radical change happen.These arent utopias. But what unites them is a refusal to accept that difficult problems are unsolvable. The countries showing true innovation are often those with their backs against the wall - not wealthy nations assuming they have all the answers. Braver New World is an urgent reminder that solutions exist. The question is whether we have the courage to learn.

¿Cómo hemos llegado a someternos, en una sociedad que se proclama racional y científica, a un pensamiento único disfrazado de virtud?Este libro no busca complacer ni incendiar, más bien comprender. Desde una mirada critica -pero no cinica-, la autora desentraña los engranajes del paradigma woke en España, sus raices ideologicas y su progresivo deterioro. ¿Que ocurre cuando la lucha por la igualdad deriva en puritanismo moral? ¿Que sucede cuando la diversidad se sacrifica en nombre de una uniformidad impuesta?Con lucidez y valentia, De la Torre enlaza la Torre de Babel con las nuevas torres ideologicas del presente y analiza como el lenguaje se convierte en arma, como se sofoca la disidencia en nombre del bien comun y como, en ese proceso, se erosionan el debate, el pensamiento complejo y la libertad misma. Examina tambien los desafios de la era digital, donde las identidades se evaporan y los algoritmos reducen al ciudadano a consumidor.Entre la critica cultural, el ensayo politico y la filosofia especulativa, esta obra ofrece un mapa para quienes intuyen que algo no encaja en el relato dominante, pero no saben aun como nombrarlo.No es un manifiesto. Es una invitacion: a pensar mas alla, a cruzar el puente.

Between 2016 and 2019, a unique coalition assembled within British politics. Combining Corbynite campaigners and Conservative Cabinet ministers, celebrities and grassroots activists, seasoned political veterans and novice political amateurs, this disparate assemblage of forces was brought together by one aim: stopping Brexit. What began as the unfocused, often deeply emotional belief that Britain must not leave the EU morphed, fleetingly, into a mass movement: the Peoples Vote campaign, a mess of organisations united by the call for a second referendum on Europe.From the stunts of youth campaigners and the online antics of new pro-EU influencers to the million-person marches of 2019 and the launch of new centrist parties, many people, serious and unserious alike, dedicated themselves to securing a new vote. A campaign premised on telling the nation that they had gotten it catastrophically wrong was always going to be hard, and it was only made more so by parliamentary maths that never seemed to quite add up. Based on interviews with the people who were there, No Second Chances tells the dramatic, bizarre, and (at times) embarrassing story of one of recent British historys most feted roads not taken.

Sobre los escombros de Gaza reúne intelectuales, militantes y periodistas israelíes que rechazan la brutalidad del gobierno de Netanyahu, la ocupación perpetua y el racismo institucional que han convertido a Gaza en un campo de exterminio; pero tambien condenan sin matices la violencia criminal de Hamas y su fanatismo teocratico. Las voces que componen este libro representan distintas formas de resistencia a un discurso que parece unico en Israel: el de la guerra y la destruccion. Hay relatos de sobrevivientes al 7 de Octubre, miembros de kibutz arrasados, que sin embargo siguen diciendo no a la destruccion planificada por el Estado de Israel. Estan las cronicas de las artistas palestinas-israelies que capturan en obras plasticas el duelo por los niños y niñas asesinados, musicas censuradas por negarse a cantar para el Ejercito, fotografos que hace decadas documentan la ocupacion y las masacres. Tambien especialistas realizan analisis economicos e historicos, que recorren el pasado y el presente de Gaza como una herida abierta desde 1948, el avance paciente y cruel de la colonizacion en Cisjordania y el derrumbe moral de una democracia que ya no logra reconocerse. Y frente a lo cual, nos muestra este libro, hay marchas y resistencias casi nunca visibilizadas por los grandes medios y su cerco informativo. Desde el corazon de Israel, un libro vital para pensar que significa resistir en tiempos en los que todo parece enemistarse con la posibilidad de la paz; en tiempos en los que es imprescindible no callar.
