Wer erfahren will, wie die DDR ein halbes Jahrzehnt nach ihrer Grundung von einem deutsch-amerikanischen Team ausgezeichneter Kenner auf mehr als 600 Seiten analysiert und eingeordnet wurde, wird dafur kaum eine bessere Quelle finden als dieses nur als gebundener Manuskriptdruck erschienene (1956), weitgehend vergessene und kaum rezipierte Werk. Es erscheint in der Reihe Wege der Totalitarismusforschung des Hannah-Arendt-Instituts, weil es in unmittelbarem Zusammenhang zur Ausarbeitung der meistdiskutierten Totalitarismuskonzeption unter der Agide des Politikwissenschaftlers Carl J. Friedrich an der Harvard University entstand. Einer seiner engsten Mitarbeiter und Koautoren war der spatere US-Auaenminister Henry Kissinger. Die Liste der Autoren und Berater (u.a. Gerhard Abeken, Fritz Baade, Erich Matthias, Carl Mayer, Heinrich Rittershausen, Otto Stammer, Carola Stern, Karl C. Thalheim, Siegfried Unseld) liest sich wie ein Whos Who der fruhen DDR-Forschung.

The New York Times bestseller Henry Kissinger, consummate diplomat and statesman, examines the strategies of six great twentieth-century figures and brings to life a unifying theory of leadership and diplomacy"An extraordinary book." -The Wall Street Journal "A must read... His books - including this one - will hopefully be read well into the future. Indeed our present and future leaders would benefit from reading all of Kissinger's books. They are timeless." -The New York Journal of Books "Leaders," writes Henry Kissinger in this compelling book, "think and act at the intersection of two axes: the first, between the past and the future; the second, between the abiding values and aspirations of those they lead. They must balance what they know, which is necessarily drawn from the past, with what they intuit about the future, which is inherently conjectural and uncertain. It is this intuitive grasp of direction that enables leaders to set objectives and lay down a strategy." In Leadership, Kissinger analyses the lives of six extraordinary leaders - Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew, and Margaret Thatcher - through the distinctive strategies of statecraft that he believes they embodied. To each of these studies, Kissinger brings historical perception, public experience and, because he knew each of the subjects and participated in many of the events he describes, personal knowledge. Leadership is enriched by insights and judgements that only Kissinger could make and concludes with his reflections on world order and the indispensability of leadership today.

Det avgörande politiska ledarskapet, konstaterar Henry Kissinger, verkar på gränsen till det politiskt möjliga. Det väger kännedomen om historien mot bilden av framtida mål, liksom bestående värden mot medborgarnas gemensamma strävan. Den människa som förmår detta kan också styra till synes givna historiska förlopp. I Ledarskap (Leadership, 2022) ger Kissinger sex analyserande porträtt av statsmän som lyft sina nationer till ny framtid. Konrad Adenauer gav Tyskland en förnyad etisk grund som europeisk nation. Charles de Gaulle förmådde genom sin personliga viljestyrka göra Frankrike till en av världskrigets segrarmakter. Richard Nixons insikt i utrikespolitikens ramar banade väg för avspänning. Anwar Sadats fredsvision befriade Egypten från krigens återvändsgränd. Lee Kuan Yews fokus på att nå det överlägset bästa skapade Singapores identitet. Och Margaret Thatchers orubbliga övertygelse om Storbritannien förde nationen ur dess nedgång. Henry Kissinger, som mött dessa sex ledare, ger oss inkännande porträtt av inte bara deras styrkor och drivkrafter, utan också av deras svagheter och misstag. Kissingers skildring ger inte minst läsaren inblick i hans egna bevekelsegrunder och mål, som en av världens tyngsta politiska beslutsfattare. Den svenska utgåvan innehåller ett förord av Svante Nordin, professor i idéhistoria vid Lunds universitet. Henry Kissinger är en amerikansk statsvetare och diplomat som tjänstgjorde som nationell säkerhetsrådgivare och utrikesminister i Richard Nixons och Gerald Fords administrationer, och som rådgivare åt flera andra amerikanska presidenter. 1973 tilldelades han Nobels fredspris och han har även mottagit Presidential Medal of Freedom och Medal of Liberty. Kissinger undervisade i historia och statsvetenskap vid Harvard University i tjugo år och har skrivit ett flertal böcker om utrikespolitik och diplomati.

Henry Kissinger analiza c mo seis l deres extraordinarios, a los que conoci de cerca, dieron forma a sus pa ses y al mundo que hoy conocemos. «Pretende ser un manual para los l deres de hoy y de ma ana . -The New Statesman Henry Kissinger, uno de los principales estrategas pol ticos del siglo xx, analiza en este nuevo libro los perfiles de seis de los l deres mundiales m s fascinantes e influyentes del pasado reciente: Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew y Margaret Thatcher. Todos ellos se formaron en un periodo en el que las instituciones establecidas se derrumbaban en Europa, las estructuras coloniales daban paso a estados independientes en Asia y frica y hubo que crear un nuevo orden internacional a partir de los vestigios del anterior. Kissinger repasa el camino de De Gaulle para reconstruir la Francia postimperial, la rehabilitaci n llevada a cabo por Adenauer de una Alemania devastada por la guerra o el xito del experimento de la peque a ciudad Estado de Lee Kuan Yew en Singapur. El an lisis de estos procesos sirve para mostrar las estrategias de gobierno de unos l deres que, impulsados por un alto sentido de Estado, se propusieron posicionar a sus respectivos pa ses en el centro del tablero pol tico mundial. La perspectiva del autor no tiene parang n: es la de un historiador de primer orden que conoci y estuvo implicado en los acontecimientos que se relatan. La experiencia como alto representante p blico, el conocimiento personal de los protagonistas y la carrera pol tica de Kissinger enriquecen un libro que atestigua c mo la combinaci n del car cter de los personajes y las circunstancias de cada situaci n es lo que acaba dando forma a la historia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An instant New York Times bestseller Henry Kissinger, consummate diplomat, and statesman, examines the strategies of six great twentieth-century figures and brings to life a unifying theory of leadership and diplomacy. "An extraordinary book, one that braids together two through lines in the long and distinguished career of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger... In Leadership he presents a fascinating set of historical case studies and political biographies that blend the dance and the dancer, seamlessly." --James Stavridis, The Wall Street Journal "Leaders," writes Henry Kissinger in this compelling book, "think and act at the intersection of two axes: the first, between the past and the future; the second, between the abiding values and aspirations of those they lead. They must balance what they know, which is necessarily drawn from the past, with what they intuit about the future, which is inherently conjectural and uncertain. It is this intuitive grasp of direction that enables leaders to set objectives and lay down a strategy." In Leadership, Kissinger analyses the lives of six extraordinary leaders through the distinctive strategies of statecraft, which he believes they embodied. After the Second World War, Konrad Adenauer brought defeated and morally bankrupt Germany back into the community of nations by what Kissinger calls "the strategy of humility." Charles de Gaulle set France beside the victorious Allies and renewed its historic grandeur by "the strategy of will." During the Cold War, Richard Nixon gave geostrategic advantage to the United States by "the strategy of equilibrium." After twenty-five years of conflict, Anwar Sadat brought a vision of peace to the Middle East by a "strategy of transcendence." Against the odds, Lee Kuan Yew created a powerhouse city-state, Singapore, by "the strategy of excellence." And, though Britain was known as "the sick man of Europe" when Margaret Thatcher came to power, she renewed her country's morale and international position by "the strategy of conviction." To each of these studies, Kissinger brings historical perception, public experience and--because he knew each of the subjects and participated in many of the events he describes--personal knowledge. Leadership is enriched by insights and judgements that only Kissinger could make and concludes with his reflections on world order and the indispensability of leadership today.

I Diplomati redogör Henry Kissinger för sin samlade erfarenhet av vad som styr relationer mellan stater, och hur dessa relationer kan påverkas och styras av staternas ledningar. Grundläggande är Kissingers analytiska perspektiv, där han kontrasterar regioner där nationer vuxit fram i ömsesidig maktbalans med stater som ansett sig skyddade och därmed kunnat inta en mer exklusiv politisk hållning. Han spårar båda tanketraditionerna, den realpolitiska och den idealistiska, i USA:s utveckling, den förra exemplifierad av Theodore Roosevelts utrikespolitik, den senare av Woodrow Wilsons. Analyserna levandegör drivkrafter och hållningar genom historien och Henry Kissinger låter oss förstå styrkor och svagheter hos statsmän som Richelieu, Castlereagh, Metternich, Bismarck och Churchill. Inom samtidshistorien fördjupar han de analyserna med hjälp av erfarenheter och minnen av politiker som Charles de Gaulle, Zhou Enlai, Richard Nixon och Michail Gorbatjov. Henry Kissingers framställning får sin avslutning i en diskussion om USA:s roll i en värld där nationen å ena sidan inte längre är den unikt starkaste aktören, men å den andra inte längre kan isolera sig på sin kontinent. Denna utgåva av Diplomati ingår i serien Engelsbergsklassiker, där även Världsordning (2022) är utgiven. Boken har ett nyskrivet förord av diplomaten Rolf Ekéus.

V 2017 godu nejronnaja set AlphaZero stala samym luchshim igrokom v shakhmaty. Znaja lish pravila igry, ona smogla razrabotat unikalnuju vyigryshnuju taktiku vsego za 4 chasa. Spustja tri goda programma iskusstvennogo intellekta v Massachusetskom tekhnologicheskom institute smogla reshit bolee slozhnuju zadachu - razrabotat novyj vid antibiotika, khalitsin. On sposoben unichtozhat bakterii, ustojchivye ko vsem ostalnym lekarstvennym preparatam. Programmnoe obuchenie pronikaet vo vse sfery zhizni: ego ispolzujut v transportnoj otrasli, meditsine, torgovle, finansakh, pravookhranitelnoj dejatelnosti i drugikh oblastjakh. Nejroseti sposobny bystro pridumyvat idei i innovatsii, na razrabotku kotorykh ljudjam potrebovalis by desjatiletija, esli ne vsja zhizn. Uchenye nadejutsja, chto blagodarja II my smozhem reshit globalnye problemy: najti lekarstva ot smertelnykh boleznej, spravitsja s golodom i nizkim urovnem obrazovanija v otdelnykh regionakh, bezopasno osvoit Mirovoj okean i kosmos. No ispolzovanie iskusstvennogo razuma mozhet imet i negativnye posledstvija, ved mnogie protsessy v ego rabote ostajutsja nepostizhimymi dlja cheloveka. Avtory etoj knigi sobrali rassuzhdenija o vozmozhnostjakh i problemakh, svjazannykh s pojavleniem II. Oni objasnjajut, kakie radikalnye izmenenija mogut proizojti v nashej istorii, ponimanii mira i sobstvennoj roli v nem, i pomogajut osoznat vlijanie II na buduschee nashego obschestva.

In 1950, at the age of twenty-seven, Henry Kissinger wrote The Meaning of History as his senior thesis at Harvard university. Now, more than 70 years later, it’s published for the first time. The thesis explores the ideas of three important thinkers in Western philosophical and historical thought, in a way that also reflects Kissinger’s own transition from the Continental world to the Atlantic: Oswald Spengler (1880–1936), a German historian and philosopher; Arnold Toynbee (1889–1975), a British historian and philosopher and Immanuel Kant (1724–1804), a Prussian of the European Enlightenment era and one of the most important philosophers of this time. The study wrestles with some of the first-order dilemmas of Western political, philosophical, and moral thought. Its scope ranges from the Enlightenment through to the midpoint of the twentieth century – an era scourged by two world wars and the advent of the nuclear age. It also provides great insight into the conceptual perspective of its author, who was to become the most influential American statesman of the post-war period.

Debatten om USA:s roll i världspolitiken är ständigt aktuell, inte minst efter de omdebatterade interventionerna i Irak och Afghanistan. Bör USA fortsätta att försöka sprida demokrati globalt eller ska man agera mer i enlighet med det nationella egenintresset? Och vad kan andra länder i västvärlden göra? En som under lång tid diskuterat dessa frågor är Nobelpristagaren Henry Kissinger. Han är främst känd som säkerhetsrådgivare och utrikesminister under en annan turbulent tid, då USA öppnade relationerna till Kina och drog sig tillbaka från Vietnam. Kissinger är även en framstående analytiker och historiker. Han har ofta kritiserat den överdrivna amerikanska idealismen och världsförbättrarivern, men har också understrukit betydelsen av att USA inte faller tillbaka i isolationism. Bland hans böcker märks till exempel Diplomacy (1994) och Att återvinna världen (1957, 1973 på svenska), som handlar om Wienkon­gressen. Utifrån sina djupa historiska kunskaper och långa erfarenhet av interna­tionell diplomati, diskuterar Kissinger i Världsordning (2014) möjligheterna att skapa en ny fungerande maktbalans i dagens kaotiska värld. Bokförlaget Stolpes utgåva av boken ingår i serien Engelsbergsklassiker."en utmärkt översättning" BTJ.
