Apoyándose en documentos procedentes de archivos de varios países y decenas de testimonios escritos y orales de los políticos, diplomáticos y periodistas españoles y extranjeros que tuvieron trato con el, este libro explora en profundidad la aportacion de don Juan Carlos a la gradual normalizacion y posterior proyeccion exterior de España desde su nombramiento como sucesor de Franco en 1969 hasta su abdicacion en 2014. Powell argumenta que el monarca realizo una contribucion decisiva al reconocimiento exterior de la nueva España democratica, facilitando su ingreso en la OTAN (1982) y la Comunidad Europea (1986). Asimismo, ayudo a reequilibrar la relacion con Estados Unidos, impulso el reencuentro con la America hispana y la creacion de la Comunidad Iberoamericana de Naciones, y cultivo al mundo arabe sin que ello fuese obstaculo para el reconocimiento de Israel, haciendo posible la celebracion de la Conferencia de Madrid sobre Oriente Medio en 1991. Powell tambien estudia su notable contribucion a la llamada "diplomacia publica", que se plasmo sobre todo en las Olimpiadas de Barcelona y la Expo92 de Sevilla, y sus esfuerzos por paliar el impacto de la crisis financiera de 2008. El libro cierra con un analisis de los escandalos que condujeron a su abdicacion, y concluye que, a pesar de los errores que sin duda cometio, don Juan Carlos realizo una notable tarea diplomatica, que merece ser (re)conocida por los españoles.

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.

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.

Justice is Gods Righteousness in Action Reclaim what was always meant to be whole. Justice and righteousness are not opposing forces but inseparable pillars of Gods design. But often our minds divide them, even set them in opposition to one another.In What Hath Justice to Do with Righteousness?, Rev. Dr. Charlie E. Dates provides a biblical and historical overview of the bond between these two pillars of the Christian faith that challenges our assumptions, renews our understanding, and invites us into a new movement of protest and prayer.With biblical wisdom, theological reflection, and an honest critique of cultural blind spots, this book boldly declares that justice is Gods righteousness in action. True justice cannot exist apart from righteousness, and righteousness is hollow without a commitment to justice. Gods justice restores and reconciles. "When Jesus hung on a cross, God got justice, and we got righteousness."In What Hath Justice to Do with Righteousness? you will:Understand Justice Through a Biblical Lens: Explore how the Bible defines justice as an expression of Gods character and His kingdom purpose. Resist Systemic Injustice on Biblical Grounds: Learn how Scripture equips believers to stand against oppression and advocate for equity in society. Persevere in Gods Truth: Receive spiritual guidance and motivation to remain steadfast in the pursuit of Gods justice. Dates challenges assumptions, exposes divisions, and delivers a call to action for both protest and prayer. Prepare to be called, inspired, and equipped to resist systemic injustice on biblical grounds and embody both justice and righteousness in every step you take. Are you ready to unite what the world seeks to divide?

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.

The liberal world order that emerged after the Second World War and expanded triumphantly following the Cold War is unravelling. Multilateral cooperation is giving way to multipolar rivalry and conflict. Global norms are eroding. What comes next will define the rest of the century; the search is on for a new global framework a rebalancing of power.In The Triangle of Power, Finnish President Alexander Stubb argues that we are living through a hinge moment in history, akin to 1918, 1945 or 1989. A new international system is taking shape, driven by three major forces: the Global West, the Global East and the Global South. At the centre is the escalating competition between the United States and China, as both try to forge bilateral deals and regional alliances, but it is the Global South that will ultimately determine whether the future tilts toward cooperation or fragmentation.Drawing on decades at the front lines of diplomacy, and blending personal insight with political and academic experience, Stubb delivers a passionate call for values-based realism and dignified foreign policy and warns that unless the West learns to listen, it will lose its place in the world it once led.

POR QUÉ ESPAÑA FABRICA JÓVENES ANTISISTEMA: EL HUNDIMIENTO DE LA CLASE MEDIA Y LA BRECHA GENERACIONAL.En este manifiesto, Estefanía Molina da voz a una generación: denuncia el pasotismo de España frente a los dramas de su juventud la vivienda, los salarios y la precariedad y explica por que tantos jovenes se sienten atraidos por el autoritarismo y la ultraderecha, debido a la muerte de la clase media y a un sistema politico basado en los intereses de los baby boomers, como en el caso de las pensiones, que ya no sirve para sus hijos. La autora reclama un nuevo contrato social y reformas valientes, pues existe el riesgo de que esa generacion antisistema, criada en el malestar, fulmine en pocas decadas las conquistas politicas y un estado del bienestar que ya da signos de agotamiento.La democracia no solo se legitima por sus bondades igualdad, libertad sino tambien por sus resultados. En eso estamos fallando a nuestros jovenes. Estefania Molina

LA AMENAZA DE LA ULTRADERECHA NUNCA HABÍA SIDO TAN REAL. ¿SEGUIREMOS COMO SI NADA?El fascismo te preocupa, pero dudas de si valdrá la penar votar en las próximas elecciones. Pones los ojos en blanco con las salidas de tono de la ultraderecha, pero tampoco crees que los otros esten haciendo gran cosa. ¿Seguro que no te estas convirtiendo un poco tu tambien?El sociologo Mark Fortier se hace esa pregunta y decide llevarla al extremo: escribe el diario de su conversion al fascismo, que es, en realidad, una satira corrosiva y lucida en la que narra, paso a paso, como se deja fascinar por lo que antes aborrecia para entender como funciona la resignacion y el neofascismo. Una advertencia disfrazada de broma que va a dejar de hacer gracia muy pronto.

Un reto urgente para las democracias del siglo XXI.¿Son los científicos únicamente proveedores de evidencias o deberían ser también actores implicados en la formulación de políticas públicas?Joan Subirats se pregunta si existen el espacio, los recursos y la voluntad necesarios para que el conocimiento cientifico sea relevante en los debates politicos y sociales. Analiza en que medida sus funciones pueden complementarse con las de los ciudadanos, los responsables publicos y los representantes de intereses diversos; que margen hay para ensayar nuevas respuestas a problemas persistentes.

El fascismo no va a ganar la discusión. «En España se está produciendo una sustitución cultural».«El cambio climático es un invento woke».«La democracia no sirve para nada».«Las feministas odian a lo

¿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.
