• New books June 2022

Highlights:

• The EU-China security paradox : cooperation against all odds?

”Julia Gurol unpicks the complex security relations between the European Union and China. She investigates the principles, rationales and shifting dynamics of collaboration on a range of security issues, and their consequences for China, the EU and other regions.”

• The weaponisation of everything : a field guide to the new way of war

”Hybrid War, Grey Zone Warfare, Unrestricted War: today, traditional conflict-fought with guns, bombs, and drones has become too expensive to wage, too unpopular at home, and too difficult to manage.”

• Russian grand strategy in the era of global power competition

”This book offers a nuanced and detailed examination of two of the most important current debates about contemporary Russia's international activity: is Moscow acting strategically or opportunistically, and should this be understood in regional or global terms?”

• Growth for good : reshaping capitalism to save humanity from climate catastrophe

”Economic growth is wrecking the planet. It’s the engine driving climate change, pollution, and the shrinking of natural spaces. To save the environment, will we have to shrink the economy?”

• Attribution of advanced persistent threats : how to identify the actors behind cyber-espionage

”An increasing number of countries develop capabilities for cyber-espionage and sabotage. The sheer number of reported network compromises suggests that some of these countries view cyber-means as integral and well-established elements of their strategical toolbox. At the same time the relevance of such attacks for society and politics is also increasing.”

• The European Union : how does it work?

”The sixth edition has been substantially updated to reflect a range of challenges confronting the EU. It incorporates expanded discussions of pressing policy challenges, including migration, climate change, the future of the EU-UK relationship after Brexit, and the erosion of democratic principles in some EU member states.”
