Middle Kingdom and Empire of the Rising Sun
Author: June Teufel Dreyer
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195375661
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 479
Book Description
"Japan and China have been rivals for more than a millennium. Until the late nineteenth century, China was the more powerful, while Japan took the upper hand in the twentieth century. Now, China's resurgence has emboldened it as Japan perceives itself falling behind, exacerbating long-standing historical frictions ... Dreyer argues that recent disputes should be seen as manifestations of embedded rivalries rather than as issues whose resolution would provide a lasting solution to deep-standing disputes"--Jacket.

The Ideas That Conquered The World
Author: Michael Mandelbaum
Publisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 078672496X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 530
Book Description
At the dawn of the twenty-first century, three ideas dominate the world: peace as the preferred basis for relations between and among different countries, democracy as the optimal way to organize political life, and free markets as the indispensable vehicle for the creation of wealth. While not practiced everywhere, these ideas have--for the first time in history--no serious rivals. And although the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, were terrible and traumatic, they did not "change everything," as so many commentators have asserted. Instead, these events served to illuminate even more brightly the world that emerged from the end of the Cold War. In The Ideas That Conquered the World, Michael Mandelbaum describes the uneven spread (over the past two centuries) of peace, democracy, and free markets from the wealthy and powerful countries of the world's core, where they originated, to the weaker and poorer countries of its periphery. And he assesses the prospects for these ideas in the years to come, giving particular attention to the United States, which bears the greatest responsibility for protecting and promoting them, and to Russia, China, and the Middle East, in which they are not well established and where their fate will affect the rest of the world. Drawing on history, politics, and economics, this incisive book provides a clear and original guide to the main trends of the twenty-first century, from globalization to terrorism, through the perspective of one of our era's most provocative thinkers.

The Special Relationship Between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and the United States of America
Author: Francis S E Codjoe Jnr.
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1524632937
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 522
Book Description
The Special Relationship between Britain and America is not based on sentiments or any value. It is not a political pendulum that swings high or low depending upon the chemistry between an American President and a British Prime Minister. The Anglo-American relationship is grounded on an Eternal Truth. This truth, which reveals the identities of the British and Americans, is concealed in their national emblems the Royal Coat of Arms and the Great Seal of the USA. These crests are pregnant with mysteries. The Pyramid on the Reverse side of the Great Seal has nothing to do with the Illuminati nor the New World Order. Commentators wrongly suggest that the exceptional relationship between America and Britain is dead. These experts, who adore Monnets European Project, claim Britain is irrelevant on the international stage. So, America should treat Britain just like any other European nation. Britain is unique among the EU member states. Here is the unknown truth. A British Secret Service Agent wrote about European integration and its future before Jean Monnet, the brain behind the EU Project, was born. Our understanding of EUs existence and Britains membership of it would not be complete without the legacy of the Intelligence Officer. A free religion is the parent of a free state, and a free state of a free school. A people who are not wise enough to take care of their own religion, are very poorly prepared to be the guardians of liberties. When a nation loses her religion, she loses the right arm of power and the ability to preserve freedom. According to the Intelligence Officer, Back to the Bible should be a patriotic, as well as a religious cry; for the preservation of our liberties, and our cherished institutions, depends much upon the maintenance of the Bible-taught heart-principles and stout convictions of our fathers.

Building the Kingdom of God on Earth
Author: Martin Erdmann
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1597521353
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
In his book, 'Building the Kingdom of God on Earth', Dr. Erdmann deals primarily with John Foster Dulles' participation in the ecumenical movement from 1919 to 1945. Dulles' role in shaping the religious, economic, and political policies of the Federal Council of Churches in its support of world order and peace, especially in his function as chairman of the Commission on a Just and Durable Peace, was crowned with success in the founding of the United Nations Organisation in 1945. His personal friends Philip Kerr (Lord Lothian) and Lionel Curtis, the principal leaders of the Round Table Group, come into the pictures at various times. By and large they pursued the same objectives as those of Dulles. The book shows the detailed influence of the Round Table Group and its affiliated organisations - such as the Royal Institute of International Affairs (London) and the Council for Foreign Relations (New York City) - on the ecumenical movement, using it successfully for their purpose of creating an international community of nations.
