A paz perdida: Como o Ocidente fracassou em evitar uma segunda Guerra Fria

by Richard Sakwa, Miguel Yoshida (Translator)

O ano de 1989 trouxe a perspectiva otimista de uma paz global duradoura, à medida que duras divisões territoriais e conflitos ideológicos que pareciam incontornáveis começaram a ser mitigados. Agora, três décadas depois, essa paz foi perdida. Com a guerra na Ucrânia e as tensões crescentes entre China, Rússia e o Ocidente, sem falar no Oriente Médio, a política das grandes potências domina novamente o cenário mundial. Isso poderia ter sido diferente? Este livro traz uma análise aguda e rigorosa sobre como o mundo perdeu sua chance de paz e, em lugar disso, viu o retorno da guerra na Europa, de rivalidades globais e ameaças nucleares.
