A delicious, gossipy and thoroughly engaging romp ... heartily recommended. Tim Tate, author of Hitlers British Traitors and The Spy Who Was Left Out in the ColdA captivating page-turner ... Helen Fry, author of Women in Intelligence Ambassadors daughter, Nazi love interest, Soviet spy, FBI most wanted. Accompanying her parents to Berlin in the 1930s, Martha Dodd knew almost nothing about Adolf Hitler or the Nazis. Yet almost overnight, she stepped into the spotlight, and found herself at the over-heated centre of Hitlers New Germany, befriending and dating several high-ranking Nazis, including the head of the Gestapo. An affair with a dashing Russian diplomat saw her recruited as a spy, and so began a long and tumultuous career in both Berlin and America, including attempts to infiltrate First Lady Eleanor Roosevelts inner circle and playing a key role in Henry Wallaces disastrous 1948 presidential campaign. Betrayed by a Hollywood-hustler-turned-double-agent, Martha spent years under deep FBI surveillance - escaping twice - and went to ground in Cold War Prague, sad, lonely, rich and bored, living out her final decades in a Communist Sunset Boulevard. Largely forgotten, Martha Dodd began to emerge as an iconic historical figure in the early 2000s. While her scandalous behaviour and pro-Soviet leanings were never much in dispute, the actual matter of her guilt remained unresolved. Now, using recently released KGB archived information and FBI files, author and journalist Brendan McNally sets the record straight in Traitors Odyssey, telling the full epic tale of Martha Dodds life for the first time, casting her in a new and bright light.

No war in living memory has stirred up such anger, fear and loathing as the long-running IsraelPalestine conflict, and peace in the region has never seemed further away. The 7 October 2023 attack by Hamas on Israel had far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences for the Middle East and for the world. As the war has expanded to take in other players in the area, the future of Israel as a regional superpower is now in doubt and the chances of all-out war between Israel and its neighbours have become much greater.This essential work looks at the background to the HamasIsrael war and asks whether the international system can contain two simultaneous wars in Europe and the Levant. It examines the wars that preceded this one, the rise of Hamas and the roles Hezbollah, Iran and Syria play in the conflict. Paul Moorcraft considers the wars impact on Israeli society, the economy and the Israel Defense Forces, while also looking at how media and propaganda shape our view of the war and how the conflict affects the whole regions relationships with the west.Here, Moorcraft brings all perspectives together in an expert and balanced analysis, examining the potential outcomes of the war and arguing that the two-state solution should be revived. Peace has never looked more impossible but the alternative, a forever war, is even more impossible.

The oceans and seas of the world are at a crucial crossroads in their history. The pace of change, driven by the globalization of the world economy, continues to accelerate, particularly in key regions of oceanic value. At the same time, issues concerning coastal administration and management are becoming increasingly widespread and complex. This volume offers an in-depth investigation into ocean conflict, governance, and strategy from an interdisciplinary perspective, involving the vast range of interactions between oceans and seas. It also explores the complexity of human activities on the oceans, with a particular focus on maritime conflicts in Asia. The purpose of this book is to examine the perspectives of key actors in Asian maritime policy and their responses to the challenges of internal and territorial security in Asian waters.

LEnciclopedia del Sardismo e il risultato di un lavoro pluridecennale di ricerche e studi condotte dallAutore - esperto di filosofia politica e storia delle idee, di filosofia ermeneutica del diritto e di antropologia interpretativa - da sempre impegnato nello studio e nellanalisi dellideologia politica sardista. La parola Enciclopedia non deve tuttavia trarre in inganno: non si tratta di una carrellata organica e completa di tutte le figure del sardismo, ne tanto meno di una storia cronologica (tutta ancora, peraltro, da scrivere), ma di una piu interessante operazione di scavo critico intorno a tutti i filoni storico-politici che, nellarco di un secolo, hanno caratterizzato la polifonia sardista.

In atemberaubendem Tempo schreitet die Verflechtung der Welt voran. Die globalen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit uberfordern die Nationalstaaten. Die Menschheit befindet sich in einer entscheidenden Phase nach der Entstehung der Demokratie in den antiken Stadtstaaten Griechenlands und ihrer Ausweitung auf die modernen Territorialstaaten im 18. Jahrhundert steht nun der nachste Schritt bevor: eine demokratische Weltrevolution und ein Parlament der Menschheit. Denn die politische Entwicklung der Menschheit ist nicht vorbei. Fur eine friedliche, gerechte und nachhaltige Weltzivilisation ist ein evolutionarer Sprung zu einer foderalen Weltrepublik erforderlich. Im Mittelpunkt dieses Projekts steht der Aufbau eines demokratischen Weltparlaments. Vor dem Hintergrund der Problematik der Moderne beleuchtet dieses Buch die Geschichte, Relevanz und Umsetzung einer kosmopolitischen Idee, die aktueller nicht sein konnte.

We have not been driven into Brexit at the point of a gun or out of economic necessity, but purely for cultural reasons. State of Paralysis explores the climate of opinion in Britain that has led to more than seventy years of indecision about our relationship with our continental neighbours and our role on the worlds stage. The post-war years saw many dramatic changes: the arrival of weapons of mass destruction, the nuclear industries, space travel, civil rights, global warming, the Internet, the digitalisation of behaviour and the loss of Empire. The aim of the European Union was to keep the peace on the continent and to face these global problems. But has it done so? Have we in Britain been able to adjust to the demands of the new worldor are we clinging on to a past that can never be recovered? John Elsom describes the political impasse in parliament and the country over the terms of Brexit to analyse what these motives were, how they were obtained and where their consequences may lead. He approaches these issues from the view of a political and cultural commentator, who has seen at first hand many of the changes that have affected all our lives.

Chiefs are political operatives who hold titles of leadership over groups larger than intimate kin-based communities. Although they rule with the consent of their group, they are all about building personal power and respect. Many scholars have viewed chiefs as problem solvers--defending groups against aggressors, resolving disputes, providing support under hardship, organizing labor for community projects, and redistributing goods among those in need. Chiefs do these things, but much of what chiefs do is accumulate benefits for themselves, staying in power and legitimizing control. Anthropological archaeology is well suited to pursue the study of chiefs, their leadership institutions (chiefdoms), and long-term historical processes. The author argues that studying chiefdoms is essential to understanding the role of elemental powers in social evolution. As an illustration, he studies chiefs and their power strategies in historically independent prehistoric and traditional societies and discusses how they continue to exist as powerful actors within modern states.

En las últimas décadas, Norberto Bobbio había venido albergando la idea de redactar una "Teoría general de la política", basada tanto en las enseñanzas de los autores clásicos como en los principales problemas politicos de su tiempo. El proyecto, que nunca llego a concretarse, ha sido finalmente acometido por Michelangelo Bovero, que ha conseguido sistematizar, a traves de cuarenta ensayos, lo mas significativo del pensamiento bobbiano en materia de teoria del estado y de la politica. Esta edicion, en efecto, consigue integrar por primera vez articulos emblematicos del profesor de Turin con algunos que hasta ahora habian pasado practicamente inadvertidos en el conjunto de su obra. Las posibles relaciones entre ciencia politica y filosofia politica, o entre teoria e ideologia; las lecciones y categorias legadas por los clasicos, desde Hobbes, Locke o Kant, hasta Marx o Weber; los posibles vinculos entre libertad e igualdad; los fundamentos normativos de la democracia y el alcances practico de sus promesas; el problema de la paz y de la guerra y su ligamen con los derechos humanos; el debate entre reforma y revolucion como instrumentos de cambio social o la pertinencia de los presupuestos progresistas que caracterizan buena parte de la filosofia de la historia moderna, son algunos de los temas que atraviesan este libro. El resultado es una obra trabada y novedosa, que destaca tanto por su unidad metodologica como por la variedad de contenidos que incorpora. Su riguroso orden, la actualidad de los temas abordados y su completo indice de materias, multiplican su valor y la convierten, a la vez, en resumen y culminacion de la teorizacion del pensador italiano.

Hoy, la realidad es que hay un mundo altamente conectado y dependiente de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones. Los hogares se están viendo invadidos con cientos de dispositivos tecnologicos interconectados en cualquier momento y lugar, lo que permite mejorar la calidad de vida, puesto que manejan gran cantidad de la informacion de nuestro comportamiento, los gustos y los intereses, permitiendo de esta manera que exista un rediseño de nuestra personalidad, con el fin de que el mercadeo de las grandes industrias perfile sus productos y se ajusten a las necesidades de cada cliente. Esta interconexion con internet ha generado grandes beneficios para la sociedad, ya que el poseer informacion en tiempo real y de manera sencilla para el usuario, facilita de procesos de acceso, deteccion, monitoreo y control de diversos aspectos de su vida diaria. De igual manera, la masificacion de los recursos tecnologicos de informacion, estan desarrollando diversas ventajas tanto para el sector empresarial, como para el sector gubernamental, puesto que estas permiten tener mayores canales de atencion, mejor calidad de los servicios, agilidad en los procesos y tramites, asi como la posibilidad de una mayor participacion ciudadana, entre tantos beneficios. Este libro resultado del trabajo de investigacion, surge del analisis de entender al ciberespacio, no solo como un avance tecnologico, que requiere tratamiento tecnico, sino como un fenomeno globalizado que amenaza la seguridad internacional, y que debe ser tratado sinergicamente en forma multidisciplinar que abarque ademas de su componente tecnologico, la incursion de politicas y estrategias nacionales e internacionales con una solida base juridica domestica e internacional que permita avanzar hacia un entendimiento y tratamiento generalizado de esta amenaza, creando reglas de enfrentamiento claras ante el uso ya innegable del ciberespacio en el desarrollo de los conflictos armados actuales.

Estudio y selección de textos de algunos dirigentes políticos y juristas que durante la Segunda República se manifestaron más abiertamente sobre la organización nacional de España, especialmente en el periodo constituyente (1931) y en la discusion de los estatutos catalan (1932), vasco (1936) y gallego (1938), reflejando el pensamiento juridico-politico del momento. Francisco Caamaño, ex ministro de Justicia firma la presentacion donde dice: La antologia de textos sobre el pensamiento territorial en la II Republica incorporada a este volumen desmiente la alentada creencia de que el estado autonomico es una forma adaptada de estado federal y nos advierte sobre lo facil que resulta tropezar reiteradamente en la misma piedra. A nadie escapa que aquel pasado persiste vivo en nuestro presente como una criatura insatisfecha. Ni nadie duda sobre la ineficacia del estado autonomico para ofrecerle una salida convincente. Warning! Quienes prefieran seguir creyendo que el estado autonomico es, con algun retoque, la version española de un estado federal, abandonen ahora la lectura.

The crown, long a symbol of British dominance in Ireland, represented not just monarchy but imperial control and in December 1921, opponents of the Anglo-Irish Treaty argued that its terms would forever bind Ireland to that legacy. The newly established Irish Free State would remain part of the British Commonwealth, with only limited sovereignty, leading many to fear this arrangement would never change if the Treaty was accepted.Yet, in just 16 years, Ireland became a republic in all but name. Twelve years later, it officially adopted that name and removed all doubt about its constitutional independence by formally exiting the Commonwealth. Remarkably, this transformation occurred without a single shot fired.This peaceful revolution unfolded through a series of governments from various parties and a remarkable cast of figures: a monarch willing to abdicate for love; a British prime minister who enabled Irish neutrality; and another who tried to coerce Ireland into World War II. What seemed impossible in 1921 was achieved through persistent determination, skilful diplomacy and a fair amount of luck. This is the story of how it happened.
