Pax - Tom Holland - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ''Holland, who co-hosts the podcast The Rest Is History, is at his best when having fun with Rome''s bloody history'' The Times ''A book for lovers of traditional, grand sweep narrative history'' Sunday Times The definitive history of Rome''s golden age - antiquity''s ultimate superpower at the pinnacle of its greatness The Pax Romana has long been revered as a golden age. At its peak, the Roman Empire stretched from Scotland to Arabia, and contained perhaps a quarter of humanity. It was the wealthiest and most formidable state the world had yet seen.Beginning in 69AD, a year that saw four Caesars in succession rule the empire, and ending some seven decades later with the death of Hadrian, Pax presents a dazzling history of Rome at the height of its power. From the gilded capital to realms beyond the frontier, historian Tom Holland portrays the Roman Empire in all its predatory glory. Vivid scene follows vivid scene: the destruction of Jerusalem and Pompeii, the building of the Colosseum and Hadrian''s Wall, the conquests of Trajan. Vividly sketching the lives of Romans both ordinary and spectacular, from slaves to emperors, Holland demonstrates how Roman peace was the fruit of unprecedented military violence.A stunning portrait of Rome''s glory days, this is the epic history of the pax Romana.

PAX - Tom Holland - Bog - Kristeligt Dagblads Forlag - Plusbog.dk

PAX - Tom Holland - Bog - Kristeligt Dagblads Forlag - Plusbog.dk

AF FORFATTEREN TIL DEN INTERNATIONALE BESTSELLER HERREDØMMET I sin forrige bog, "Herredømmet", fortalte forfatteren Tom Holland den dramatiske og vidtrækkende historie om, hvordan kristendommen blev grundkilden til de vestlige samfund, vores tænkemåde og værdier. I sin nye bog udforsker forfatteren en anden væsentlig grundkilde i vores kultur og historie: Romerriget. "PAX. Krig og fred i Roms guldalder" er et fejende flot epos om verdensriget, da det var på sit højeste og kulminerede. Imperiet strakte sig fra Skotland til Arabien, omfattede op mod en fjerdedel af menneskeheden og var i det hele taget verdens hidtil rigeste og stærkeste. Tidsmæssigt begynder fortællingen i år 69 e.Kr. – året med ikke mindre end fire Cæsarer – og dækker syv årtier. Perioden Pax Romana afsluttes med kejser Hadrians død i år 138 e.Kr. Tom Holland portrætterer Rom i al sin begærlige pragt: Den ene levende scene følger den anden: ødelæggelsen af Jerusalem og Pompeji, opførelsen af Colosseum og Hadrians Mur – den sidste erobrerkejsers, Trajans, togter. Som en anden romanforfatter beskriver Holland både almindelige og excentriske romerske borgere, både slaver og magthavere. Bogens hovedpointe er, at nok var perioden relativt fredelig for indbyggerne i det store verdensrige, men freden havde rod i en hidtil uhørt militær vold og magtanvendelse over for de ydre naboer og fjender. Et forhold, der i længden inviterede til oprør og sammenbrud. Den britiske presse om ”PAX”: ”Fremragende: dristig, ambitiøs og lidenskabelig.” Forfatter og historiker Peter Frankopan ”En usædvanlig god fortæller med en glimrende sans for detaljer.” The Economist ”En bog, som fuldstændig forandrer læserens forståelse af verden.” Spectator ”Fortællende historieskrivning, når den er bedst.” The Guardian Om forfatteren: Tom Holland, født 1968, er uddannet i litteratur og historie ved Cambridge University. Han er kendt for sit store skønlitterære og faghistoriske forfatterskab, hvoraf "Herredømmet" tidligere er udkommet på dansk (2020). Forfatteren er vært i den populære podcast ”The Rest is History”.

The IKEA Edge: Building Global Growth and Social Good at the World's Most Iconic Home Store - Anders Dahlvig - Bog - McGraw-Hill Education - Europe -

The IKEA Edge: Building Global Growth and Social Good at the World's Most Iconic Home Store - Anders Dahlvig - Bog - McGraw-Hill Education - Europe -

Praise for The IKEA Edge “A very good book from a talented business leader [that links] values, culture, and the achievement of business and social objectives together. I have read it now three times and learned something from every passage.” —Michael Spence, recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, 2001 “With Anders Dahlvig’s recommendations, we could solve many of the world’s problems by persuading the big multinationals to change their Memorandum and Articles of Association. Big business working in the interests of humanity would be a powerful tool.” —Gordon Roddick, cofounder of The Body Shop “The IKEA Edge is a fascinating case study of an entrepreneurial company’s growth to maturity. Anders Dahlvig is incisive and surprisingly straightforward in sharing the IKEA story. As a fourth-generation family business owner, I recognize the inherent paradox of building a ‘good,’ value-driven company and managing for profit. Anders Dahlvig proves it can be done.” —Antonia Axson Johnson, Chairperson, Axel Johnson AB About the Book: With Anders Dahlvig at the helm from 1999 to 2009, the furniture giant IKEA averaged 11 percent yearly sales growth and annual operating profits in excess of 10 percent. The company hired more than 70,000 new employees and opened new stores around the world—all while maintaining its reputation as one of the world’s best corporate citizens. In The IKEA Edge , Dahlvig tells the story of how IKEA matured from an entrepreneurial startup to a leader in the furniture industry. He recounts his 26-year career at the company and what he learned along the way. In his rise from store manager to president, Dahlvig developed the unique vision he relied upon to lead IKEA through good times and bad—by combining traditional business goals like profit and growth with the progressive interests of social responsibility and environmental stewardship. Dahlvig proves that these objectives, which are usually viewed as polar opposites, can actually work wonders together. The IKEA Edge serves as an expansive case study for “doing good business while being a good business.” Dahlvig clearly lays out the cornerstones that support IKEA: a vision of social responsibility; market leadership with a balanced global portfolio; differentiation through control of the value chain; and building for the long term—four principles that can be applied in any business, in any industry. social and business agenda—and it continues to grow, even during the worst global recession in history. In a time when the public’s trust of business has hit bottom, such an approach to business is more critical than ever. A combination of personal memoir, call to action, and strategic vision, The IKEA Edge provides the inspiration and information you need to develop a social-good/good-business agenda for your own company. Public trust, brand recognition, customer loyalty, and a world-class reputation will soon follow.

Pax Gandhiana - Anthony J Parel - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Pax Gandhiana - Anthony J Parel - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Notwithstanding his contributions to religion, nonviolence, civil rights, and civil disobedience, among other areas, Gandhi''s most significant contribution is that as a political philosopher. While he is not often treated as such, Gandhi was, as Anthony J. Parel argues, a political philosopher sui generis, both in his philosophical method of constant self-criticism and his framework of philosophical analysis. Gandhi wrote daily on politics, but he did so as an activist; political philosophy was to him not just a way of understanding truths of political phenomena but was directly related to understanding those truths in action. If realized in action these truths would give rise to new political institutions, which in turn would create a corresponding peaceful political and social order. Parel dubs this order Pax Gandhiana.The main contention of Pax Gandhiana is that peace cannot be achieved by politics alone. Peace requires the confluence of the canonical ends of life: politics and economics (artha), ethics (dharma), forms of pleasure (kama), and the pursuit of spiritual transcendence (moksha). Modern political philosophy isolates politics from the other three ends, but Gandhi''s originality, according to Parel, lies in the way that he brings all four together. In fact Gandhi''s political philosophy is relevant not only to India but also to the rest of the world: it is a new type of sovereignty that harmonizes the interest of individual states with the community of states.Arguing against scholars who dispute a theoretical unity in Gandhi''s writings, Parel suggests that Gandhi is the preeminent non-western political philosopher, and in this book he seeks to identify the conceptual framework of Gandhi''s political philosophy, the Pax Gandhiana.

The End of Pax Americana - Naoki Sakai - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

The End of Pax Americana - Naoki Sakai - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

In The End of Pax Americana, Naoki Sakai focuses on U.S. hegemony's long history in East Asia and the effects of its decline on contemporary conceptions of internationality. Engaging with themes of nationality in conjunction with internationality, the civilizational construction of differences between East and West, and empire and decolonization, Sakai focuses on the formation of a nationalism of hikikomori, or “reclusive withdrawal”-Japan’s increasingly inward-looking tendency since the late 1990s, named for the phenomenon of the nation’s young people sequestering themselves from public life. Sakai argues that the exhaustion of Pax Americana and the post--World War II international order-under which Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and China experienced rapid modernization through consumer capitalism and a media revolution-signals neither the “decline of the West” nor the rise of the East, but, rather a dislocation and decentering of European and North American political, economic, diplomatic, and intellectual influence. This decentering is symbolized by the sense of the loss of old colonial empires such as those of Japan, Britain, and the United States.

Pax Economica - Marc William Palen - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

The forgotten history of the liberal radicals, socialist internationalists, feminists, and Christians who envisioned free trade as the necessary prerequisite for anti-imperialism and peaceToday, free trade is often associated with right-wing free marketeers. In Pax Economica, historian Marc-William Palen shows that free trade and globalisation in fact have roots in nineteenth-century left-wing politics. In this counterhistory of an idea, Palen explores how, beginning in the 1840s, left-wing globalists became the leaders of the peace and anti-imperialist movements of their age. By the early twentieth century, an unlikely alliance of liberal radicals, socialist internationalists, feminists, and Christians envisioned free trade as essential for a prosperous and peaceful world order. Of course, this vision was at odds with the era’s strong predilections for nationalism, protectionism, geopolitical conflict, and colonial expansion. Palen reveals how, for some of its most radical left-wing adherents, free trade represented a hard-nosed critique of imperialism, militarism, and war. Palen shows that the anti-imperial component of free trade was a phenomenon that came to encompass the political left wing within the British, American, Spanish, German, Dutch, Belgian, Italian, Russian, French, and Japanese empires. The left-wing vision of a “pax economica” evolved to include supranational regulation to maintain a peaceful free-trading system—which paved the way for a more liberal economic order after World War II and such institutions as the United Nations, the European Union, and the World Trade Organization. Palen’s findings upend how we think about globalisation, free trade, anti-imperialism, and peace. Rediscovering the left-wing history of globalism offers timely lessons for our own era of economic nationalism and geopolitical conflict.

Pax Transatlantica - Jussi M. (professor Of International History And Politics Hanhimaki - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Pax Transatlantica - Jussi M. (professor Of International History And Politics Hanhimaki - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

A bold argument that tackles current trends, such as rising nationalism, arguing that they strengthen rather than undermine transatlantic ties.Is the West finished as a political idea? In recent years, observers have begun pointing to signs that this transatlantic community is eroding. When the European Union expanded, the classic European nation state was in decline. Now, nationalism is on the rise. Furthermore, nations within the EU are less willing to cooperate with the US on policies that require sacrifice and risks, such as using military force alongside the US. Today, following the twin shocks of Brexit and Trump''s election, the concept of a unified Western transatlantic community seems to be a relic. But, in Pax Transatlantica, the international historian Jussi Hanhimäki explains why the West is far from over.Hanhimäki argues that-despite Trump''s inflammatory, dismissive rhetoric-NATO continues to provide robust security for its member states. NATO has survived by expanding its remit and scope, and it is viewed favorably by member states overall. Moreover, the transatlantic relationship boasts the richest and most closely connected transcontinental economy in the world. Despite the potential fallout from current trade wars-especially between the US and China-and the rise of economic nationalism, the West still benefits from significant transatlantic trade and massive investment flows. Lastly, Hanhimäki traces the parallel evolution of domestic politics on both sides of the Atlantic, focusing on the rise of populism. He contends that populism is not causing a rift between the US and Europe. Rather, the spread of populism evinces that their politics are in fact closely integrated.Shifts and even crises abound in the history of the transatlantic relationship. Still, the West endures. Conflicts, rather than undermining the relationship, illustrate its resilience. Hanhimäki shows that the transatlantic relationship is playing out this cycle today. Not only will the "Pax Transatlantica" continue to exist, Hanhimäki concludes, it is likely to thrive in the future.
