World War Two re-assessed for a new generation, from the 1930s through to the beginnings of the Cold War. A stimulating and thought-provoking new interpretation of one of the most terrible episodes in world history.

During the 1980s, millions of ordinary individuals around the world mobilized in support of nuclear disarmament. Although U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev were not part of these grassroots movements, they too wanted to eliminate nuclear weapons. Nuclear abolitionism was a diverse and global phenomenon. In Dreams for a Decade, Stephanie L. Freeman draws on newly declassified material from multiple continents to examine nuclear abolitionists' influence on the trajectory of the Cold War's last decade. Freeman reveals that nuclear abolitionism played a significant yet unappreciated role in ending the Cold War. Grassroots and government nuclear abolitionists shifted U.S. and Soviet nuclear arms control paradigms from arms limitation to arms reduction. This paved the way for the reversal of the U.S.-Soviet nuclear arms race, which began with the landmark 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. European peace activists also influenced Gorbachev's "common European home" initiative and support for freedom of choice in Europe, which prevented the Soviet leader from intervening to stop the 1989 East European revolutions. These revolutions ripped the fabric of the Iron Curtain, which had divided Europe for more than four decades. Despite their inability to eliminate nuclear weapons, grassroots and government nuclear abolitionists deserve credit for playing a pivotal role in the Cold War's endgame. They also provide a model for enacting dramatic, positive change in a peaceful manner.

Understanding the role of religion in global politics is crucial for effective diplomacy.   Many American policy makers are squeamish about religion's role in diplomacy. Nevertheless, religion plays a crucial and complex part in global affairs, such as in sustainable development, various human rights issues, and fomenting and mitigating conflict. Shaun A. Casey, the founding director of the US Department of State's Office of Religion and Global Affairs, makes a compelling case for the necessity of understanding global religion in Chasing the Devil at Foggy Bottom.      > On a global stage with higher stakes than ever, effective diplomacy is imperative. Yet in this critical moment, the United States's reputation has faltered. Chasing the Devil at Foggy Bottom offers a path forward to better foreign policy.

Dieses Buch konzentriert sich auf das Leben und die Friedensphilosophie der japanischen Premierminister von 1945 bis heute und versucht, eine einheitliche politische Philosophie herauszuarbeiten, nämlich die "Friedensphilosophie", die Japans Außen- und Verteidigungspolitik durchweg beeinflusst hat. Dieses Buch erforscht die Metaerzählung der internationalen Beziehungen und der Politik und liefert eine neue Metaanalyse der Faktoren, die der japanischen Politik zugrunde liegen, und bietet einen zeitgemäßen Einblick in einen der mächtigsten und zugleich rätselhaftesten Akteure Asiens in einer Zeit des Wandels. Dieses Buch wird für Wissenschaftler im Bereich der internationalen Beziehungen, für diejenigen, die Asien im Wandel beobachten, und für Journalisten von Interesse sein.
