Thomas P. M. Barnett Bücher

Seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges sucht Amerika nach einer neuen Theorie, um das Chaos in der heutigen Welt zu erklären. Der Konflikt der Supermächte ist Geschichte, aber was hat ihn ersetzt? Thomas Barnett bietet in „Der Weg in die Weltdiktatur“ eine wegweisende Annäherung an die Globalisierung, die militärische, ökonomische, politische und kulturelle Aspekte verbindet. Er liefert eine umfassende Deutung des Wesens von Krieg und Frieden im 21. Jahrhundert und knüpft an die Werke von Thomas Friedman und Francis Fukuyama an. Barnett präsentiert grundlegende Klärungen für unsere unübersichtliche Zeit und spricht in einer leicht verständlichen Sprache, ohne von oben herab zu belehren. Sein Aufruf zum Handeln geht über Parteipolitik hinaus und richtet sich an uns als Menschen, unabhängig von politischen Überzeugungen. Er kritisiert und lobt sowohl republikanische als auch demokratische Regierungen. Inmitten einseitiger Erklärungen von selbsternannten Regierungsinsidern ist sein Werk besonders willkommen. Barnett gibt uns eine Perspektive, um Sinn hinter chaotischen Ereignissen zu erkennen, und skizziert einen Weg in eine friedlichere Zukunft. Er wird als einer der bedeutendsten strategischen Denker unserer Zeit angesehen, und sein Ansatz gilt als äußerst provokant und weitsichtig.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Pentagon's New Map, a bold, trenchant analysis of the post-Bush world In Great Powers, New York Times bestselling author and prominent political consultant Thomas Barnett provides a tour-de-force analysis of the grand realignments in the post-Bush world-in the spheres of economics, diplomacy, defense, technology, security, the environment, and more. The "great powers" are no longer just the world's nation- states, but the most powerful and dynamic influences on the global stage, requiring not simply a course correction, but a complete recalibration. Globalization as it exists today was built by America- and now, Barnett says, it's time for America to shape and redefine what comes next.

This book is a unique comparison of the Third World policies of the two East European regimes that were most active in the South during the 1970s and 1980s. The study examines why Romania's and East Germany's high activity levels in the South cannot be explained away as mere surrogacy for Moscow, and shows that those attempts represented the particular agendas of Honecker and Ceausescu in their efforts to alter their ties with the Soviet Union.Barnett concludes that Romania and East Germany saw opportunities in the Third World in the 1970s to forge strong diplomatic and security profiles within the Warsaw Pact's overall presence. Romania sought to lessen its economic and ideological dependence on the Soviet Union by expanding its trade ties and political relations with the Third World. In the case of East Germany, detente opened up new opportunities for relations with West Germany that were both lucrative in terms of trade and dangerous in terms of ideological pollution. Scholars of the Soviet bloc will find this book of interest.

Since the end of the Cold War, America's national security establishment has been searching for a new operating theory to explain how this seemingly "chaotic" world actually works. Gone is the clash of blocs, but replaced by what? Thomas Barnett has the answers. A senior military analyst with the U.S. Naval War College, he has given a constant stream of briefings over the past few years, and particularly since 9/11, to the highest of high-level civilian and military policymakers-and now he gives it to you. The Pentagon's New Map is a cutting-edge approach to globalization that combines security, economic, political, and cultural factors to do no less than predict and explain the nature of war and peace in the twenty-first century. Building on the works of Friedman, Huntington, and Fukuyama, and then taking a leap beyond, Barnett crystallizes recent American military history and strategy, sets the parameters for where our forces will likely be headed in the future, outlines the unique role that America can and will play in establishing international stability-and provides much-needed hope at a crucial yet uncertain time in world history. For anyone seeking to understand the Iraqs, Afghanistans, and Liberias of the present and future, the intimate new links between foreign policy and national security, and the operational realities of the world as it exists today, The Pentagon's New Map is a template, a Rosetta stone. Agree with it, disagree with it, argue with it-there is no book more essential for 2004 and beyond.
