With a new foreword on the revolutions in the Arab world and the euro crisis, one of the world’s most influential commentators on international affairs offers a stark warning about a gathering global political crisis.From one of the world’s most influential commentators on international affairs, chief foreign affairs columnist for the Financial Times, comes a stark warning about a gathering global political crisis. Successive presidents have welcomed globalization and the rise of China. But with American unemployment stubbornly high and U.S. power facing new challenges, the stage is set for growing rivalry between America and China. The European Union is also ripping itself apart. The win-win logic of globalization is giving way to a zero-sum logic of political and economic struggle. The new world we now live in, an age of anxiety, is a less prosperous, less stable world, with old ideas overthrown and new ideologies and powers on the rise. Rachman shows how zero-sum logic is thwarting efforts to deal with global problems from Afghanistan to unemployment, climate change to nuclear proliferation. This timely and important book details why international politics is now more dangerous and volatile—and suggests what can be done to break away from the crippling logic of a zero-sum world.

'A masterly account...the best survey of global affairs I have read for some time' Sunday TimesWITH A NEW PREFACE BY THE AUTHORThe West’s domination of world politics is coming to a close. The flow of wealth and power is turning from West to East and a new era of global instability has begun.Easternisation is the defining trend of our age – the growing wealth of Asian nations is transforming the international balance of power. This shift to the East is shaping the lives of people all over the world, the fate of nations and the great questions of war and peace. A troubled but rising China is now challenging America’s supremacy, and the ambitions of other Asian powers – including Japan, North Korea, India and Pakistan – have the potential to shake the whole world. Meanwhile the West is struggling with economic malaise and political populism, the Arab world is in turmoil and Russia longs to reclaim its status as a great power. We are at a turning point in history: but Easternisation has many decades to run. Gideon Rachman offers a road map to the turbulent process that will define the international politics of the twenty-first century.

Brought to you by Penguin.In The Age of the Strongman, Gideon Rachman finds global coherence in the chaos of the new nationalism, leadership cults and hostility to liberal democracy.We are in a new era: authoritarian leaders have become a central feature of global politics. Since 2000, self-styled strongmen have risen to power in capitals as diverse as Moscow, Beijing, Delhi, Brasilia, Budapest, Ankara, Riyadh and Washington.These leaders are nationalists and social conservatives, with little tolerance for minorities, dissent or the interests of foreigners. At home, they claim to be standing up for ordinary people against globalist elites; abroad, they posture as the embodiments of their nations. And everywhere they go, they encourage a cult of personality. What''s more, these leaders are not just operating in authoritarian political systems but have begun to emerge in the heartlands of liberal democracy.While in the West the EU referendum and the election of Donald Trump in 2016 mark a watershed, the new era started at the beginning of the new millennium, when Vladimir Putin took power in Russia. How and why did this new style of strongman leadership arrive? How likely is it to lead the world into war or economic collapse? And what liberal forces are in place not only to keep these strongmen in check but to reverse the trend?From Trump, Putin and Bolsonaro to Erdogan, Xi and Modi, Gideon Rachman pays full attention to the strongman phenomenon around the world and uncovers the complex and often surprising interaction between these leaders. Whilst others have tried to understand the emergence of these new leaders individually, The Age of the Strongman provides the first truly global treatment of the new nationalism, underpinned by an exceptional level of access to key actors in this drama: Gideon Rachman has been in the same room with most of these strongmen and reported from their countries over a long journalistic career.© Gideon Rachman 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022

A long period of peace and stable relations between the world’s most powerful nations is coming to an end.Major wars have broken out in Europe and the Middle East, tensions are rising in East Asia, world leaders have spoken publicly about the possibility of a third world war, and intelligence agencies have never seen the world in a more dangerous and precarious state.Making use of Rachman’s unique, unparalleled access to leaders in political and intelligence spheres around the globe and full of extremely well-informed and insightful analysis, WAR IS INTERESTED IN YOU explores how we got to this point in global affairs and, crucially, what happens next – in this case, the increasing risk of global conflict.As Leon Trotsky once put it – ‘You may not be interested in war. But war is interested in you.’

Seit der globalen Finanzkrise von 2008 ist die Welt nicht mehr die alte - eine neue Logik hat sich der internationalen Politik bemächtigt.Die Globalisierung gilt nicht länger als Verheißung, von der alle Länder gleichermaßen profitieren. Aus einer Welt, in der alle Staaten Gewinner waren, ist eine geworden, die vom Nullsummendenken dominiert wird. Das «optimistische Zeitalter», das mit dem Fall der Mauer begann, ist vorbei. Ein neues «Zeitalter der Angst» zieht herauf. Europa und die Vereinigten Staaten werden immer stärker von China und anderen aufstrebenden Mächten wie Brasilien oder Indien herausgefordert. Das neue Denken, demzufolge der Machtzuwachs eines Landes den Machtverlust eines anderen darstellt, verhinderte zuletzt internationale Einigungen beim Klimaschutz, der Weltwirtschaftspolitik und der Rettung des Euro.Mit NULLSUMMENWELT legt Gideon Rachman nicht nur eine ebenso brillante wie unterhaltsam geschriebene Überblicksanalyse jüngster Weltgeschichte vor, sondern zeigt auch Lösungen auf, wie diese neue Logik zu überwinden ist — ein moderner Klassiker der Weltpolitik.

Die westliche Dominanz in der Weltpolitik geht zu Ende. Der Fluss von Macht und Wohlstand wendet sich von West nach Ost. Eine neue Ära globaler Instabilität hat begonnen. In ASIENS STUNDE beschreibt Gideon Rachman den bestimmenden Trend unserer Zeit: Der wachsende Wohlstand asiatischer Nationen verändert die internationale Machtbalance. Diese Kräfteverschiebung gen Osten berührt das Leben von Menschen auf der ganzen Welt — und die großen Fragen von Krieg und Frieden.Ein aufstrebendes, wenn auch mit Problemen kämpfendes China fordert die amerikanische Vormachtstellung heraus. Aber auch die Ambitionen anderer asiatischer Mächte — darunter Japan, Nordkorea, Indien und Pakistan — haben das Potenzial, die ganze Welt zu erschüttern. Derweil schlägt sich der Westen mit wirtschaftlicher Schwäche und politischem Populismus herum, die arabische Welt kommt nicht zur Ruhe, und Russland sehnt sich danach, den verlorenen Supermacht-Status zurückzuerlangen.Wir stehen an einem historischen Wendepunkt. ASIENS STUNDE hat gerade erst begonnen zu schlagen. Gideon Rachman skizziert die Prozesse, die das 21. Jahrhundert bestimmen wird.

Moskau und Ankara, Peking und Brasilia, Neu-Delhi — und Washington: In all diesen Hauptstädten kamen zuletzt Autokraten an die Macht. Diese «strongmen» sind Nationalisten und gesellschaftspolitische Konservative mit Hang zum Personenkult. Für Minderheiten und Einwanderer haben sie wenig übrig. Daheim behaupten sie, an der Seite der «einfachen Leute» gegen die «globalen Eliten» zu stehen. Auf der Weltbühne nehmen sie für sich in Anspruch, die Nation zu verkörpern. Dieser Politikertyp herrscht längst nicht mehr nur über autokratische Systeme, sondern taucht selbst im Herzen liberaler Demokratien auf. Gideon Rachman spürt dem Aufstieg der Autokraten als globalem Phänomen nach.

The economic crisis that struck the world in 2008 has drastically altered the logic of international relations. Globalisation no longer benefits all the world's superpowers and they face an array of global problems that are causing division between nations. A win-win world is giving way to a zero-sum world.Zero-sum logic, in which one country's gain looks like another's loss, has prevented the world from reaching an agreement to fight climate change and threatens to create a global economic stalemate. These new tensions are intensified by the emergence of dangerous political and economic problems that risk provoking wars, environmental catastrophe and ever-deeper debilitating economic crises.This timely and important book argues that international politics is about become much more volatile - and sets out what can be done to break away from the crippling logic of a zero-sum world.
