New Releases by Fareed Zakaria

Viviamo tempi rivoluzionari. Ovunque si guardi, si riscontrano mutamenti radicali e forse irreversibili. L''assetto internazionale degli ultimi trent''anni si è dissolto e nuovi protagonisti - in particolare la Cina e la Russia - si sono affacciati sulla scena geopolitica minacciandone gli equilibri e la stabilità in nome di un diverso ordine mondiale. All''interno delle nazioni, i populismi sembrano minare il progetto liberale e le fondamenta stesse della democrazia. Sul piano economico, alcuni effetti deleteri della globalizzazione hanno messo in discussione il generale consenso attorno al libero mercato, mentre la rivoluzione digitale, con l''avvento dell''intelligenza artificiale, sta delineando scenari sconosciuti e inquietanti. Dopo decenni di apertura, cooperazione e integrazione, il risorgere dei nazionalismi e l''antagonismo tra le grandi potenze, nonché il conflitto esistenziale tra paesi democratici e autocrazie, lasciano presagire un futuro denso di incognite. Nonostante l''ampiezza e la simultaneità di queste trasformazioni, la nostra non è certo la prima epoca rivoluzionaria della storia. Altre rivoluzioni, in passato, hanno travolto società e istituzioni, ordinamenti politici e sistemi economici: quella liberale dei Paesi Bassi del XVII secolo, che ha creato la politica così come oggi la conosciamo, la Rivoluzione francese, con i suoi ideali di libertà, uguaglianza e fraternità, ma anche con la sua eredità di sangue, la rivoluzione industriale, che ha plasmato il mondo in cui viviamo. Secondo l''analista politico Fareed Zakaria - per «Foreign Policy» uno dei «dieci pensatori globali» più importanti dell''ultimo decennio - queste rivoluzioni sono rilevanti perché possono aiutarci a capire i cambiamenti in atto. Infatti, se a ogni progresso corrisponde una battuta d''arresto, se a ogni azione segue una reazione, oggi il rischio più grande che possiamo correre è quello di vedere compromessa l''idea di libertà che da almeno quattro secoli rappresenta il cuore dell''Occidente. Affrontare l''era delle rivoluzioni impedendo che le lancette della democrazia tornino indietro è la sfida che ci attende.

Autor do best-seller Dez lições para o mundo pós-pandemia explora as revoluções — passadas e atuais — que definem a era polarizada e instável em que vivemos Fúria populista, fratura ideológica, impactos econômicos e tecnológicos, guerras e um sistema internacional repleto de riscos catastróficos — as primeiras décadas do século XXI podem ser consideradas o período mais revolucionário da história moderna. Mas não é o primeiro. Os seres humanos já passaram por alguns realinhamentos — e prosperaram. O que são essas revoluções e como elas podem nos auxiliar a compreender o nosso mundo em constante ebulição? Nesta grandiosa obra, Fareed Zakaria investiga as eras e os movimentos que abalaram normas e moldaram o mundo contemporâneo. Três desses períodos contêm lições profundas para os dias atuais: nos Países Baixos do século XVII, uma série de fascinantes transformações tornou o país de pequenas proporções o mais rico do mundo e criou a política como a conhecemos; no século XVIII, a Revolução Francesa destruiu seus filhos ideológicos e deixou um legado sangrento que nos assombra até hoje; e a mãe de todas as revoluções, a Revolução Industrial, catapultou a Grã-Bretanha e os Estados Unidos para o domínio global, instituindo o mundo moderno. À luz dessas históricas mudanças de paradigma, Zakaria analisa então quatro revoluções atuais: globalização, tecnologia, identidade e geopolítica. Apesar de todos os benefícios, a globalização e os avanços tecnológicos produziram grandes perturbações e uma ansiedade generalizada sobre o que se entendia por identidade — e a identidade é o campo de batalha em que se travam as políticas polarizadas deste século. Tudo isso ocorre no contexto de uma revolução geopolítica, tão profunda quanto a que alçou os Estados Unidos à potência mundial no fim do século XIX. Combinando alcance intelectual, uma visão histórica consistente e uma presciência extraordinária, Zakaria revela que, embora estejamos no meio de quatro revoluções sísmicas, o pessimismo é prematuro. Se agirmos com sensatez, a ordem internacional liberal poderá ser renovada e o populismo, relegado ao amontoado de cinzas da história.

A New York Times Bestseller • A Wall Street Journal Best Book of 2024 The CNN host and best-selling author explores the revolutions—past and present—that define the polarized and unstable age in which we live. Populist rage, ideological fracture, economic and technological shocks, war, and an international system studded with catastrophic risk—the early decades of the twenty-first century may be the most revolutionary period in modern history. But it is not the first. Humans have lived, and thrived, through more than one great realignment. What are these revolutions, and how can they help us to understand our fraught world? In this major work, Fareed Zakaria masterfully investigates the eras and movements that have shaken norms while shaping the modern world. Three such periods hold profound lessons for today. First, in the seventeenth-century Netherlands, a fascinating series of transformations made that tiny land the richest in the world—and created politics as we know it today. Next, the French Revolution, an explosive era that devoured its ideological children and left a bloody legacy that haunts us today. Finally, the mother of all revolutions, the Industrial Revolution, which catapulted Great Britain and the US to global dominance and created the modern world. Alongside these paradigm-shifting historical events, Zakaria probes four present-day revolutions: globalization, technology, identity, and geopolitics. For all their benefits, the globalization and technology revolutions have produced profound disruptions and pervasive anxiety and our identity. And increasingly, identity is the battlefield on which the twenty-first century’s polarized politics are fought. All this is set against a geopolitical revolution as great as the one that catapulted the United States to world power in the late nineteenth century. Now we are entering a world in which the US is no longer the dominant power. As we find ourselves at the nexus of four seismic revolutions, we can easily imagine a dark future. But Zakaria proves that pessimism is premature. If we act wisely, the liberal international order can be revived and populism relegated to the ash heap of history. As few public intellectuals can, Zakaria combines intellectual range, deep historical insight, and uncanny prescience to once again reframe and illuminate our turbulent present. His bold, compelling arguments make this book essential reading in our age of revolutions.

Il virus, per il momento, ha ridotto drasticamente i nostri orizzonti. Ogni giorno i nostri movimenti sono limitati. Lavoriamo da casa, dobbiamo mantenere la distanza dagli altri, siamo separati da amici e famigliari. Per la prima volta facciamo esperienza della solitudine. È difficile guardare al futuro in un momento nel quale la nostra sicurezza economica, le libertà personali e la nostra salute sono precarie come non lo erano mai state. E c’è un senso crescente di disgregazione globale. Fareed Zakaria è una delle grandi voci del giornalismo americano. Nell’anno in cui la democrazia statunitense è stata in bilico, in tempo reale Zakaria ha costruito una mappa del nostro futuro, perché una cosa è sicura: è già cominciato. Il Covid-19 non ha stravolto il mondo che conosciamo, piuttosto sta accelerando processi che già erano in atto. Le contraddizioni si spalancano, le soluzioni da perseguire diventano più chiare. L’eredità della pandemia sarà dolorosa, turbolenta e tutt’altro che uniforme tra i diversi Paesi. Siamo già entrati in un mondo nuovo, ma è un mondo più difficile da ordinare di quello che conosciamo, soprattutto se vogliamo renderlo più giusto. Abbiamo bisogno di liberarci dei dogmi del neoliberismo sfrenato, che hanno impoverito lo stato sociale e ci hanno fatto trovare impreparati di fronte alla calamità della pandemia. D’altra parte, oggi siamo tutti più connessi. La corsa al 5G, l’economia digitale globale, l’autorità decrescente degli Stati Uniti: queste trasformazioni sono state accelerate dal coronavirus e sono destinate a portare una rivoluzione nella nostra vita in comune e nelle istituzioni, nei nostri valori, nei nostri desideri e nelle nostre priorità personali – probabilmente per sempre. Un’analisi che tiene assieme la politica, l’economia e la tecnologia per costruire una visione di questo futuro, che già oggi è la nostra nuova realtà.

Lenin dijo una vez: «Hay décadas en las que no pasa nada y semanas en las que pasan décadas». Este es uno de esos momentos en los que la historia se ha acelerado. En estos momentos el Covid-19 ha reducido nuestros horizontes y cada día nuestros movimientos están siendo restringidos. A medida que los gobiernos hacen intentos contradictorios por controlar su reputación y el virus, se hace más evidente una creciente sensación de desunión global. Sin embargo, Fareed Zakaria sostiene que el legado de esta pandemia será la conectividad. La carrera por el 5G, la economía global digital y la pérdida de la hegemonía de Estados Unidos son grandes transformaciones que se han acelerado por el coronavirus y cambiarán drásticamente nuestras comunidades e instituciones, nuestros valores y prioridades personales. En Diez lecciones para el mundo de la postpandemia, Fareed Zakaria ayuda a los lectores a comprender la naturaleza del mundo tras la pandemia del Covid-19 así como las consecuencias políticas, sociales, tecnológicas y económicas que pueden tardar años en manifestarse. Combinando el análisis histórico con reflexiones personales sobre la vida social y la soledad, Zakaria trata de comprender cómo hemos llegado hasta aquí y expone un posible retrato del futuro. A través de breves capítulos, el autor presenta 10 lecciones para salir de la pandemia de la mejor manera posible. Entre ellas propone aprender a equilibrar el dinamismo económico con la preparación para futuros desastres; centrarse menos en el tamaño del gobierno que en su calidad; admitir que los gobiernos tienen un papel importante en la regulación de los mercados; renovar nuestro respeto por los expertos, y reducir la desigualdad en todo el mundo. Tomando ejemplos de la última pandemia mundial, la gripe española, así como de incidentes de la Guerra Fría y la Crisis Financiera Global, Zakaria ayuda a los lectores a comenzar a pensar más allá de los efectos inmediatos de Covid-19. Diez lecciones para el mundo de la postpandemia habla del pasado, el presente y el futuro y, si bien es un libro urgente y oportuno, seguramente se convertirá en una reflexión duradera sobre la vida a principios del siglo XXI.

Hoe is onze wereld veranderd door de pandemie? Van thuiswerken tot de relatie tussen China en Amerika, in dit boek analyseert Zakaria de staat van de economie en de politiek in 2021. ‘De wereld na de pandemie’ is Fareed Zakaria’s nieuwste boek. Lenin zei ooit: ‘Er zijn decennia waarin er niets gebeurt en weken waarin zich decennia lijken te voltrekken.’ We beleven nu zo’n versnelling. Zowel de positie van de VS als een fenomeen als thuiswerken is op slag veranderd. Zakaria helpt lezers de aard van een postpandemische wereld te begrijpen, met name de politieke, sociale en technologische gevolgen die zich in de komende jaren gaan voordoen. In tien hoofdstukken over mondiale thema’s, variërend van biologische risico’s tot de definitieve doorbraak van digitaal leven tot een opkomende bipolaire wereldorde, helpt Zakaria lezers na te denken over de mondiale effecten van de coronacrisis. ‘De wereld na de pandemie’ is een urgent en actueel werk, en nodigt uit tot reflecties op het leven in de eenentwintigste eeuw.

Com prosa instigante, o autor best-seller e apresentador da CNN Fareed Zakaria oferece uma reflexão atemporal sobre a vida no início do século XXI Estamos, sem sombra de dúvida, vivendo uma versão acelerada do mundo que conhecemos. Desde a queda do Muro de Berlim, o planeta sofreu três grandes abalos — o Onze de Setembro, o colapso financeiro de 2008 e agora a pandemia provocada pelo novo coronavírus — que, embora pareçam distintos em quase tudo, têm algo em comum: são choques assimétricos. Começaram com consequências de menor magnitude, mas passaram a enviar ondas sísmicas pelo mundo inteiro. Ao longo de dez lições, o apresentador da CNN e autor best-seller Fareed Zakaria convida o leitor a compreender melhor a natureza de um mundo pós-pandemia: as consequências políticas, sociais, tecnológicas e econômicas que em outras circunstâncias levariam anos para ocorrer. Abordando assuntos que vão dos riscos naturais e biológicos ao crescimento da “vida digital”, passando pela nova ordem mundial dividida entre Estados Unidos e China, Zakaria leva o leitor a refletir para além dos efeitos imediatos da Covid-19. Descobrimos em primeira mão o que parecia impossível: como é vivenciar uma pandemia. A questão agora é entender o que virá pela frente.

★亞馬遜2020年10月編輯選書 ★紐約時報暢銷書、亞馬遜分類暢銷榜第一名 全球百大公共知識份子札卡瑞亞帶我們預見未來。 這一次，正是讓歷史巨輪快速轉動的關鍵時刻之一。 COVID-19將如何加速歷史發展？ 未來的世界將呈現什麼樣貌？ 自冷戰結束以來，世界已經發生了三次大震盪。 2001年的911事件、2008年的金融崩潰，以及現正水深火熱的2019冠狀病毒大流行。 每一次都是「不對稱威脅」（asymmetric threat）， 從一些看似很小的事情開始，並且與過去世界所經歷的任何事情都不一樣。 列寧曾說過：「有時可能幾十年都沒有大事發生， 但有時也可能在短時間內一口氣發生幾十年才出現一次的巨變。」 瘟疫肆虐的此刻，札卡瑞亞在這部來得迫切又及時的著作中， 預言了後疫情時代的世界本質。 疫情對政治、社會、科技、經濟等領域所造成的影響， 很可能數年後才會真正顯現， 他的論述將幫助我們理解疫後的世界樣貌。 這10堂「課」讀來既令人警醒，又帶給人希望。 他針對自然環境與生物危機、過時的左右派政治分類、 數位生活的興起等各個面向提出討論， 也深入分析全球化的未來、日益加劇的貧富差距， 以及疫情如何使得美中關係惡化。 札卡瑞亞促使我們思考，像人類這樣的社會動物， 社群的概念已然融進我們的天性，而且更重要的是， 正如他在結論中告訴我們的──「天命依然未定」， 未來切切實實的掌握在我們自己手中。 《後疫情效應》說的是過去、現在和未來， 是21世紀初難以忽視的，對世界的深刻省思。 作者簡介 法理德．札卡瑞亞 獲《前景》（Prospect）、《外交事務》（Foreign Affairs） 評選為「全球百大公共知識份子」。 《外交政策》（Foreign Policy）雜誌票選為 「過去十年十大全球思想家」（top ten global thinkers of the last decade）。 主持CNN重量級國際新聞評論節目《札卡瑞亞GPS》（Fareed Zakaria GPS）， 全世界各地有兩億兩百萬個家庭收看。 為《華盛頓郵報》撰寫每週專欄，每月有八千萬至一億名讀者。 著有《自由的未來》、《後美國世界：群雄崛起的經濟新秩序時代》、 《為博雅教育辯護：當人文課熄燈，大學正讓青年世代失去遠大未來》。 《自由的未來》出版時，季辛吉（Henry Kissinger）評論道： 「札卡瑞亞是極為傑出的年輕作家， 他針對西方憲政原則如何影響全球秩序寫下一本引人入勝、發人深省的著作。」 《後美國世界》發表後，艾薩克森（Walter Isaacson）說： 「法理德．札卡瑞亞對國際時事的分析一直以來都很出色， 但更難得的是，他都是對的。如今，他又出版了一部充滿洞見的傑作。」 譯者簡介 盧靜 雜學家。為了畢業劇本接觸TRPG，為了推廣遊戲開始翻譯， 結果入門卻是社會科學。喜歡民俗、文學、社會科學， 希望透過翻譯，讓讀者以新的視角觀看生活與社會。 譯有《平等式資本主義的勝出》。譯作賜教：[email protected]。 廖崇佑 畢業於臺灣大學翻譯碩士學位學程， 譯有《多極世界衝擊》、《眞的好奇怪：希臘神話》、 《貓咪問題全攻略》、《無法測量的領導藝術》、 《國家地理精工系列：經典自行車》等書籍， 現為自由譯者兼英語學習粉絲頁「賓狗單字」共同創辦人。 聯絡信箱：[email protected]。 廖珮杏 自由譯者。偏好議題性的人物故事， 從中探討機制縮影、價值與文化衝突等結構問題。 譯有《重返天安門》、《憤怒與希望》（合譯）、《重病的美國》、 《獨裁者的養成之路》等書籍，以及《電馭叛客2077》（合譯）遊戲。 聯絡信箱：[email protected]。 劉維人 自由譯者。從譯作出發，參與當代民主、公共討論等議題。 譯有《被誤讀的哲學家》、《反民主》、《暴政》、《不穩定無產階級》、 《憤怒與希望》（合譯）、《Mindf*ck 心智操控》等。 譯作賜教：[email protected]。

New York Times Bestseller COVID-19 is speeding up history, but how? What is the shape of the world to come? Lenin once said, "There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen." This is one of those times when history has sped up. CNN host and best-selling author Fareed Zakaria helps readers to understand the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological, and economic consequences that may take years to unfold. Written in the form of ten "lessons," covering topics from natural and biological risks to the rise of "digital life" to an emerging bipolar world order, Zakaria helps readers to begin thinking beyond the immediate effects of COVID-19. Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World speaks to past, present, and future, and, while urgent and timely, is sure to become an enduring reflection on life in the early twenty-first century.

Seit dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs prägte eine zunehmend freiheitliche Weltordnung das politische Geschehen und ermöglichte eine Ära wachsenden globalen Wohlstands und abnehmender internationaler Konflikte. Zum ersten Mal seit dieser letzten Kriegsgeneration erschüttert uns eine neue globale Realität, die nicht mehr durch feste Grenzen, klare nationale Interessen und gesicherte Handelspolitik definiert ist. Der renommierte Geschichtsprofessor Niall Ferguson und der einflussreiche Politikberater Fareed Zakaria loten aus, wer die eigentlichen Nutznießer der Globalisierung sind und zeichnen zwei grundverschiedene Szenarien – eine aufschlussreiche und zukunftsweisende Debatte.

The twentieth semi-annual Munk Debate pits Niall Ferguson against Fareed Zakaria to debate the end of the liberal international order. Since the end of World War II, global affairs have been shaped by the increasing free movement of people and goods, international rules setting, and a broad appreciation of the mutual benefits of a more interdependent world. Together these factors defined the liberal international order and sustained an era of rising global prosperity and declining international conflict. But now, for the first time in a generation, the pillars of liberal internationalism are being shaken to their core by the reassertion of national borders, national interests, and nationalist politics across the globe. Can liberal internationalism survive these challenges and remain the defining rules-based system of the future? Or, are we witnessing the beginning of the end of the liberal international order? The twentieth semi-annual Munk Debate, held on April 28th, 2017, pits prominent historian Niall Ferguson against CNN’s Fareed Zakaria to debate the future of liberal internationalism.

‘No civilization, no matter how mighty it may appear to itself, is indestructible.’ –Niall Ferguson ‘We do not need to invent the world anew. The international order established by the United States after World War II is in need of expansion and repair, but not reconception.’ –Fareed Zakaria Fears of a globalized world are rampant. Across the West, borders are being reasserted and old alliances tested to their limits. Could this be the end of the liberal order or will the major crises of the twenty-first century strengthen our resolve?

De geesteswetenschappen hebben het niet makkelijk. Als het niet direct geld oplevert, kan het niet belangrijk zijn, het lijkt soms wel alsof iedereen er zo over denkt. Toen Fareed Zakaria nog een kind was in India, leek het volgen van een technologische opleiding in Amerika dan ook de kortste weg naar succes. Maar Zakaria was geïnteresseerd in andere vakken: Engels, geschiedenis, filosofie. En nu hij een succesvolle schrijver en journalist is geworden, beseft hij dat hij de juiste keuze gemaakt heeft. Juist in een tijd waarin technologie zo snel verandert, is het belangrijk om helder te denken, goed te argumenteren, en altijd te willen blijven leren. Voor die vaardigheden kun je nergens beter terecht dan bij de geesteswetenschappen, laat Zakaria zien in dit vlammende betoog voor leergierigheid zonder grenzen.

CNN host and best-selling author Fareed Zakaria argues for a renewed commitment to the world’s most valuable educational tradition. The liberal arts are under attack. The governors of Florida, Texas, and North Carolina have all pledged that they will not spend taxpayer money subsidizing the liberal arts, and they seem to have an unlikely ally in President Obama. While at a General Electric plant in early 2014, Obama remarked, "I promise you, folks can make a lot more, potentially, with skilled manufacturing or the trades than they might with an art history degree." These messages are hitting home: majors like English and history, once very popular and highly respected, are in steep decline. "I get it," writes Fareed Zakaria, recalling the atmosphere in India where he grew up, which was even more obsessed with getting a skills-based education. However, the CNN host and best-selling author explains why this widely held view is mistaken and shortsighted. Zakaria eloquently expounds on the virtues of a liberal arts education—how to write clearly, how to express yourself convincingly, and how to think analytically. He turns our leaders'' vocational argument on its head. American routine manufacturing jobs continue to get automated or outsourced, and specific vocational knowledge is often outdated within a few years. Engineering is a great profession, but key value-added skills you will also need are creativity, lateral thinking, design, communication, storytelling, and, more than anything, the ability to continually learn and enjoy learning—precisely the gifts of a liberal education. Zakaria argues that technology is transforming education, opening up access to the best courses and classes in a vast variety of subjects for millions around the world. We are at the dawn of the greatest expansion of the idea of a liberal education in human history.

The fourteenth semi-annual Munk Debate, which will be held in Toronto on November 5, 2014, pits Bret Stephens and Robert Kagan against Fareed Zakaria and Anne-Marie Slaughter to debate the legacy of President Obama. From Ukraine to the Middle East to China, the United States is redefining its role in international affairs. Alliance building, public diplomacy, and eschewing traditional warfare in favour of the focused use of hard power such as drones and special forces are all hallmarks of the so-called Obama Doctrine. Is this a farsighted foreign policy for the United States and the world in the twenty-first century — one that acknowledges and embraces the increasing diffusion of power among states and non-state actors? Or, is an America “leading from behind” a boon for the nations and blocs who want to roll back economic globalization, international law, and the spread of democracy and human rights? In this edition of the Munk Debates, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Bret Stephens and famed historian and foreign policy commentator Robert Kagan square off against CNN’s Fareed Zakaria and noted academic and political commentator Anne-Marie Slaughter to debate the legacy of President Obama. With ISIS looking to reshape the Middle East, Russia increasingly at odds with the rest of the West, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at a standstill, the Munk Debate on Foreign Policy asks: Has Obama’s foreign policy taken the U.S. in the right direction?

本书作者明确阐述了人文学科的优点, 并主张博雅教育精神透过现代科技"网际网络"进行普及.从古希腊开始, 科学便是博雅教育的重心.然而当今在世界各地, 人文学科已经不再吃香.作者在书中解释了为什么执迷于以「学技术」为主的教育的看法错误短视, 呼吁大学教育不应摒弃人文教育的价值, 让青年世代失去远大的未来.

“A relentlessly intelligent book.” —Joseph Joffe, New York Times Book Review “This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else.” So begins Fareed Zakaria’s blockbuster on the United States in the twenty-first century, and the trends he identifies have proceeded faster than anyone anticipated. How might the nation continue to thrive in a truly global era? In this fully updated 2.0 edition, Zakaria answers these questions with his customary lucidity, insight, and imagination.

Dans cet essai percutant préfacé par Hubert Védrine, Fareed Zakaria bouscule la pensée dominante dans le domaine de la politique internationale : loin d''annoncer le déclin de l''Occident, et donc des Etats-Unis, il privilégie la montée des pays émergents, notamment de la Chine (le challenger) et de l''Inde (l''allié) - " conséquence ironique de soixante ans d''action américaine pour ouvrir et américaniser le monde ". Selon lui, les Etats-Unis doivent désormais se concevoir comme le pivot d''un nouveau système international, non plus en dominant les autres pays, mais en les consultant et en formant des coalitions. Ces réflexions stimulantes portées par un style limpide dépassent la seule perspective américaine, pour penser et définir le monde de demain.
