¿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.

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.

Donald Trump partió al destierro en Palm Beach tras su derrota electoral en 2020 y su oscuro papel en el asalto al Capitolio. Las numerosas causas judiciales amenazaban con enterrarle políticamente. Pero, contra todo pronostico, al octavo dia de iniciar su exilio, resucito. El expresidente prometio ajustar cuentas con los causantes de su caida dentro y fuera de Estados Unidos. Sobrevivio a una bala que le rozo la cabeza y vencio en las urnas a Kamala Harris para, de vuelta en la Casa Blanca, consumar su venganza. Trump ha vuelto con mas fuerza que nunca. David Alandete, reconocido en 2025 con el Premio al Mejor Corresponsal Español del Club Internacional de Prensa, destapa los entresijos de una personalidad y una administracion que han sido mal evaluadas y peor contadas al publico español. Situado en medio del fuego cruzado entre Trump y el Gobierno español, del espionaje y de la desinformacion, el autor de este libro expone la extorsion mediatica y politica que ha sufrido por parte de quienes quieren periodistas dociles y ciudadanos desinformados. Habia visto presiones, vetos y maniobras en todos los partidos y a todos los niveles. Pero nunca habia visto a un Gobierno democratico en mi pais construir una campaña para deslegitimar a un reportero por cumplir su trabajo?

Dos de las voces más autorizadas denuncian la situación de Palestina.El asedio que sufren los palestinos de Gaza desde que en el invierno de 2008 un ataque militar israelí causó 1.400 muertos e impuso un duro bloqueo ha situado a la Franja en el centro del debate sobre un conflicto que dura ya mas de 60 años. Partiendo de esta catastrofe politica y humanitaria, el intelectual judio-estadounidense Noam Chomsky y el historiador israeli Ilan Pappe ofrecen un lucido analisis de los origenes y el futuro de la larga ocupacion de Palestina.Cada vez son mas los observadores internacionales que cuestionan la logica de la agresion militar por parte de los israelies: estos bloquean el acceso de los palestinos a materiales vitales para la reconstruccion, restringen su libertad de movimiento y los someten a una vida de constante riesgo y humillacion.Escrito a dos voces, este libro es el medio mas eficaz de recapitular y entender las claves de un conflicto del que recibimos un bombardeo constante de informacion a menudo inconexa. Las pequeñas divergencias entre Chomsky y Pappe, dos de las voces mas autorizadas, enriquecen un discurso comun que se caracteriza en su fondo por la coherencia, la mesura y la amplitud de miras.La critica ha dicho...Chomsky es un fenomeno global. Probablemente sea la voz estadounidense que mas se lee en todo el planeta en temas de politica internacional.New York Times Book ReviewChomsky y Pappe, el mas destacado historiador israeli, esclarecen el contexto esencial de la crisis israelo-palestina. Cualquier persona preocupada por el cambio, factible, en una region que tanto ha sufrido deberia leer este sobrio e implacable analisis.Publishers Weekly

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.

Las elecciones celebradas el 16 de febrero de 1936, conocidas como las del Frente Popular, han sido señaladas con un nombre que, más que describirlas, ha servido para alimentar suspicacias. La sospecha de fraude que vertieron los sublevados y la posterior dictadura convirtio aquella victoria legitima en una sombra util para su propio relato. A pesar del tiempo transcurrido, aquel proceso electoral y sus consecuencias siguen encendiendo estudios, debates y conversaciones en la calle. Tampoco faltan voces que, bajo una neutralidad autoproclamada, descalifican cualquier lectura que no se ajuste a su particular punto medio, sin advertir que con esa pretendida equidistancia tambien se esta tomando partido. La Historia exige comprender, no absolver ni condenar. Este libro nace de esa voluntad: rodear los hechos, mirarlos desde todos los angulos y devolverles su sentido sin filtros ni consignas.Carmelo Romero es historiador y escritor, ha dedicado buena parte de sus publicaciones a cuestiones electorales, con especial atencion a las relaciones de poder en las distintas coyunturas.

Se cumplen cincuenta años de la muerte del dictador Francisco Franco mientras la nueva ultraderecha española de Vox marca la agenda pública y capta el voto joven, en un contexto mundial conmocionado por los liderazgos agresivos del autoritarismo posdemocratico. El franquismo desaparece de la memoria colectiva como si nunca hubiera existido y, al mismo tiempo, crece en las urnas un neofranquismo desacomplejado que imita las formas chapuceras y los discursos amenazantes de personajes como Donald Trump. Es una inquietante paradoja. Los neofranquistas presentan el pasado mas oscuro como una sociedad ideal a recuperar. Reciclan los residuos de la dictadura y los mezclan con ideas copiadas de sus socios internacionales para ofrecer soluciones drasticas y excluyentes, desde las camaras legislativas, la calle y las redes sociales. Francesc-Marc Alvaro -testigo directo del poder politico del Estado desde su escaño en el Congreso- explica las claves del ascenso de una opcion populista que pretende conquistar las instituciones con la antipolitica mas descarnada. ¿Como hemos llegado hasta aqui? Este libro propone algunas respuestas para comprender el nuevo paisaje politico.

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.

Why do women fight in wars? The short answer is simply that women, like men, fight because they must. The longer answer is inevitably more complex. Spanning an arc of over 2000 years, including examples from across the globe, Why Women Fight reveals the major themes that drive women to take up arms, examining them through the lives of individuals on the front lines. Busting the myth that female soldiers are a manifestation of modernity, the book begins in the ninth century BCE with Semiramis, a former milkmaid attributed with expanding the Babylonian empire, and concludes in 2024 with Tatyana, a former shop assistant who went on to command a Ukrainian Battalion of a thousand men. Incorporating extraordinary interviews with Marxist guerillas, resistance fighters, illegal paramilitaries, conscripts and regular volunteers, the book explores some of the myriad reasons that women across the ages have broken one of humanitys most fundamental taboos, to take up arms and fight for their kin, their ideas, their liberty, their lives

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.

A New Perspective for Biblical Justice in International Relations Practicing a Christian vision of justice as a citizen in ones own country is difficult enough. Add on the challenge of establishing and living out a Christian ethic among states, where there may be few established norms and shared values, and you have the gargantuan task of doing international relations.Does Christianity have anything to say about global justice for modern nation-states? Can we look to the biblical vision for help with the complex problems of a globalized world? Robert Joustra answers with a resounding yes.Christ and Covenant in Global Politics casts a compelling vision for a Christian approach to international relations that seeks to transform global politics from systems driven by fear to covenantal global community based in shared loves, drawing on Augustines understanding of rightly ordered loves and a contemporary Christian notion of covenantal pluralism. This groundbreaking textbook is designed for professors and students of international relations, offering a unique, faith-driven approach to global politics.In Christ and Covenant in Global Politics, Joustra introduces international relations through a distinctly Christian lens; demonstrates how the Christian worldview can positively shape international politics; equips students to thoughtfully engage with pluralism and multiculturalism in international politics; and moves beyond discussions of biblical justice within states toward discussions of biblical justice between and among states. Christ and Covenant in Global Politics is a first-of-its-kind work that provides a comprehensive introduction to the state of international relations theory today as well as a constructive account of a truly Christian vision for global politics. Joustra provides a systematic treatment of introductory political theology of world politics, then applies that foundation to key issues in the international system: diplomacy, war, political economy, and climate. Ideal for the undergraduate level, this book is a gift to those who to want to learn to love their neighbor on the global stage.

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.

At a time when politics and government feel so broken in so many parts of the world, this is a dose of optimism amid the gloom; stunning examples of people and places where courage has led to real change for the better. Alastair CampbellAt a time when democracies seem paralyzed by fear and populations are turning inward, award-winning journalist John Kampfner travels to ten countries confronting our shared challenges with bravery and imagination.In Japan, he discovers inter-generational care homes ensuring dignity in later life - while Britain ducks the social care question. He visits Viennas century-old housing projects where 60% of residents live in subsidised accommodation without stigma and communities thrive. Taiwans health system achieves 90% patient satisfaction at a fraction of the cost of the NHS. From Moroccan solar panels in the Sahara producing enough clean energy to power two million homes to Finnish classrooms preparing children for an uncertain world that Britains teaching-to-the-test system cannot match - Kampfner introduces us to the people making radical change happen.These arent utopias. But what unites them is a refusal to accept that difficult problems are unsolvable. The countries showing true innovation are often those with their backs against the wall - not wealthy nations assuming they have all the answers. Braver New World is an urgent reminder that solutions exist. The question is whether we have the courage to learn.

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.

Britain is no longer the great power it once was. Caught between an unmoored America and a fractured Europe, it confronts rising authoritarian challenges from China and Russia, while its domestic debates drift into abstract moralising. Lacking a coherent vision for the future, the country risks sliding further into managed decline, its global relevance steadily eroding.Yet such a trajectory is not inevitable. In this clear-eyed assessment of Britains economic, ideological and strategic vulnerabilities, Azeem Ibrahim identifies the essential building blocks of renewal. He outlines a programme of reforms that will allow a genuinely independent Britain to capitalise on its core strengths. After all, as a lean and specialised nuclear power with one of the worlds most sophisticated intelligence networks, as well as world-class universities and a cultural reach second only to the US, the UK can still shape global affairs.A Greater Britain argues that a clear strategic anchor and bold leadership are needed if the UK is to convert its advantages into real influence. By formulating a pioneering Knowledge Power Doctrine, the book offers a global strategy for a once powerful nation, providing nothing short of a roadmap back to British greatness.
