New Releases by Fareed Zakaria

Explores how the rapid rise of such nations as China, India, and Brazil is countering America''s previous dominance over the global economy, geopolitics, and culture, and shares advice on how the United States can thrive in the face of international changes.

The author of the bestselling "The Future of Freedom" describes a world in which the U.S. will no longer dominate the global economy. He sees the "rise of the rest" as the great story of modern times, and one that will reshape the world.

Frente a lo que pudiera sugerir el título, este libro no habla del declive de América, sino de la emergencia de otros países al margen del mundo occidental, de manera especial China e India. En una etapa de crecimiento global incuestionable, los países de todo el mundo se convierten en protagonistas de una competencia feroz en nuevas parcelas de poder: la imaginación, la creatividad, el espíritu empresarial, la audacia y la capacidad emprendedora: una lucha de propuestas y de ideas. El progreso genera tensiones, derivadas del deseo de estos países emergentes de gozar de las ventajas del american way of life. La paradoja es si será precisamente el triunfo de la ideología y el modelo económico estadounidenses lo que acabará con la posición de única superpotencia de Estados Unidos. Economía, religión, conflictos bélicos, descubrimientos, ciencia, avances tecnológicos, todo cabe en estas páginas.

Der Verfasser erklärt in seinem Buch, warum wir am Beginn eines neuen, postamerikanischen Zeitalters stehen und dennoch auf eine starke Rolle der USA unter ihrem neuen Präsidenten Barack Obama angewiesen sind.

Ce livre n''annonce pas le déclin de l''Amérique. Il se penche plutôt sur l''ascension des autres : Chine, Inde et Brésil. À l''avenir, les États-Unis joueront moins un rôle de leader que d''arbitre et de négociateur. Et, pour cela, l''Amérique devra transformer en profondeur sa stratégie planétaire. L''Empire américain, l''heure du partage nous livre les clés pour comprendre les premiers gestes d''ouverture de la nouvelle administration américaine. Fareed Zakaria balaie au passage l''idée d''une planète aujourd''hui plus dangereuse qu''hier. L''intégrisme musulman est ainsi ramené à ses justes proportions : un phénomène géopolitique d''une ampleur bien plus réduite que naguère les totalitarismes européens ou la guerre froide. Il faut donc penser un monde avec les États-Unis, mais où l''Amérique n''est plus seule en tête.

本书讲述了世界范围内正在发生的大转折。作者揭示当代全球力量分散的面貌,融汇过去500年来两次权力大转变的历史教训,亦即西方世界的兴起与美国的崛起,向我们阐释了“群雄崛起”的第三次大转变,并认为,随着中国和印度的崛起,世界将进入经济群雄崛起的后美国时代.

Nesta obra, o autor desenvolve a idéia de que os Estados Unidos continuam a ser a superpotência dominante do ponto de vista militar e político, mas que em todas as demais dimensões, como na economia, nas finanças e na cultura, está ocorrendo uma distribuição do poder. Este livro revela alguns dos símbolos visíveis dessa nova ordem.

Analisa a política global ao refletir sobre a relação entre democracia e liberdade. Mostra como a democracia liberal tem de ser mais eficaz atualmente, comentando casos recentes como o desastre das democratizações africanas, a revolução iraniana, o Afeganistão e a ocupação do Iraque.

A modern classic that uses historical analysis to shed light on the present, The Future of Freedom is, as the Chicago Tribune put it, "essential reading for anyone worried about the promotion and preservation of liberty." Hailed by the New York Times as "brave and ambitious...updated Tocqueville," it enjoyed extended stays on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post bestseller lists and has been translated into eighteen languages. Prescient in laying out the distinction between democracy and liberty, the book now contains a new afterword on the United States''s occupation of Iraq. "Intensely provocative and valuable," according to BusinessWeek, with an easy command of history, philosophy, and current affairs, The Future of Freedom calls for a restoration of the balance between liberty and democracy and shows how politics and government can be made effective and relevant for our time.

Interroge la crise mondiale actuelle qui voit démocratie et liberté se diviser et s''opposer au profit de régimes autoritaires aux apparences de légalité. Montre que l''avènement du modèle occidental de la démocratie par de nombreux pays se limite aux signes formels et institutionnels de la liberté sans endosser la primauté de la loi et de la personne qui leur donnent sens.

"Beautifully conceived; dazzlingly executed . . . The book casts a bright light on the past and the future―and the future of international politics." —Kenneth N. Waltz, Institute of War and Peace Studies, Columbia University In From Wealth to Power, New York Times-bestselling author Fareed Zakaria examines the most puzzling case of a rising power in modern history—that of the United States. If rich nations routinely become great powers, Zakaria asks, then how do we explain the strange inactivity of the United States in the late nineteenth century? By 1885, the U.S. was the richest country in the world. And yet, by all military, political, and diplomatic measures, it was a minor power. To explain this discrepancy, Zakaria considers a wide variety of cases between 1865 and 1908 when the U.S. considered expanding its influence in such diverse places as Canada, the Dominican Republic, and Iceland. Consistent with the realist theory of international relations, he argues that the President and his administration tried to increase the country''s political influence abroad when they saw an increase in the nation''s relative economic power. But they frequently had to curtail their plans for expansion, he shows, because they lacked a strong central government that could harness that economic power for the purposes of foreign policy. America was an unusual power--a strong nation with a weak state. It was not until late in the century, when power shifted from states to the federal government and from the legislative to the executive branch, that leaders in Washington could mobilize the nation''s resources for international influence. Zakaria''s exploration of this tension between national power and state structure will change how we view the emergence of new powers and deepen our understanding of America''s exceptional history.
