Zustand: Gut. 283 p. What is the origin of the idea of America, how has it been shaped by history, and where is it headed ? In this book on the idea of America, based upon the Engelsberg Seminar that took place in 2009, the objective is to try to gain a clearer understanding of the original ideas and sources for what is known as the American idea, examine how this idea is nurtured in the US and received elsewhere in the world, and consider the question of whether we are now approaching a 'post-American world'. Who, in that case, will take over the US's role as global leader - China or India; what kind of world would we then live in, and what ideals would we thus be guided by in the future .; - In mint condition. deu B13-04-03C|233|5469BB Altersfreigabe FSK ab 0 Jahre Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 444 25 x 16,5 cm.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 259 pages. "Foremost among the countless blessings of war is its power of teaching geography," an old joke goes. Despite technological advances and globalisation, the world order is still framed by stubborn geographical boundaries. Seas, rivers, deserts and mountains continue to shape international politics. Would Russia have acted as it did - either in the past, or the present - had it not been for the vast North European Plain? Would India and China have seen each other in a different light in the absence of the great Himalayas dividing them? And would Sweden have been able co maintain its 200 years of peace, had it not been embedded in a buffer-zone of friendly neighbours? And yet the values we place on geography and resources are, in their turn, also shaped by politics. Vladimir Putin called the break-up of the Soviet Union the greatest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century. The faces of geopolitics never went away, but geopolitical discourse has returned co the world stage with a vengeance. The essays in this volume seem from the Engelsberg seminar - The Return of Geopolitics - held between June 9-11, 2016, at Avesta Manor, Sweden.…
