La competizione tra i due principali candidati nelle presidenziali francesi si arroventa. L’elettorato è al tempo stesso diviso e indeciso, insicuro se volgersi a destra o a sinistra, nella duplice sfida di immigrazione e globalizzazione. Profonde spaccature politiche non sono certo una caratteristica francese; in Europa (e negli Usa), le tensioni innescate dai flussi migratori e dalla perdita dei posti di lavoro in seguito alla globalizzazione danno vita a società polarizzate ed elettorati imbufaliti. Ma la posta in gioco nelle elezioni francesi è particolarmente elevata. Persa la fiducia dei cittadini, il presidente Jacques Chirac è rimasto a tutti gli effetti paralizzato negli ultimi due anni, mandando alla deriva tanto l’Unione Europea che i rapporti tra Francia e Usa.

Start-Up Nation addresses the trillion-dollar question: How is it that Israel—a country of 7.1 million, only sixty years old, surrounded by enemies— produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada, and the UK? With the insights of geopolitical experts and investors, the authors examine this nation’s adversity-driven culture to answer this question and offer prescriptions for a global economy on the rebound.
In Forces of Fortune, Vali Nasr presents a paradigm-changing revelation that will transform the understanding of the Muslim world at large. He reveals that there is a vital but unseen rising force in the Islamic world—a new business-minded middle class—that is building a vibrant new Muslim world economy and that holds the key to winning the cold war against Iran and extremists.
In Cuba: What Everyone Needs to Know, Julia E. Sweig presents a remarkably accessible portrait of Cuba's unique place on the world stage over the past fifty years, including its internal politics, its often fraught relationship with the United States, and its shifting relationship with the global community.
