On Change

The Forces that Transform our World

By: Theodor H. Winkler

Our world is transformed by rapid and profound change in all areas: Bio-security and pandemics; global warming; demography and migration; cyber, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing; US domestic polices; liberal democracy under siege; the international financial system; a world becoming more multipolar with the rise of China and the coming ``Asian century''. Winkler, in his new book, analyzes what that change means, and how we can cope with it. Sectorial answers do not suffice any longer. What is needed is integrated change management. The book offers a detailed analysis of the global situation. A must for all politically interested.Theodor H .Winkler is a retired ambassador and "security policy thought leader" (Neue Zürcher Zeitung), architect of Swiss security policy, advisor in the Swiss Foreign and Defence Ministries, founding father of the Geneva Centres and the "Maison de la paix". Author of Living in an Unruly World - The Challenges We Face (2019), The Dark Side of Globalization - And How to Cope with It (2018), The Box was Happy that I was Thinking Outside of It - Memoirs (2018).

The Box was Happy that I was Thinking Outside of It

Memoirs

By: Theodor H. Winkler

Author Theodor H. Winkler was deeply involved in Switzerland's transformation of the Cold War policy of comprehensive defence into a modern security policy designed to foster stability and peace. Intellectual father of the Geneva Centre for Security Policy, the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining, and the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces, Winkler has helped to create a set of foreign and security policy tools of world renown. He was also instrumental in shaping the vision of the "Maison de la Paix," in the very heart of international Geneva, home to the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, the three Geneva centres and more than a dozen other institutions serving peace and development-a place to meet, to think, and to act unique in the world. In his memoirs, Winkler tells the story how this transformation came about. It is a unique testimony on a crucial period of Swiss foreign and security policy. The book is a must for anyone interested in Swiss policy and international security. (Series: International Relations - Diplomacy - Security / Aussenpolitik - Diplomatie -Sicherheit, Vol. 2) [Subject: Memoir, International Relations, Politics, History, Peace Studies]

The Dark Side of Globalization

And How to Cope with It

By: Theodor H. Winkler

We live in an age of revolutionary change brought about by globalization and digitalization that profoundly alters the way we live and work. It offers us new possibilities and opportunities, knowledge grows exponentially, medicine and science leap forward, progress is fast. Yet it has its price. There is a dark side to globalization. Our cyber integrity is under attack; the financial markets may enter another crisis; global warming is threatening our future; and conflict and climate change combine with demographic pressures and the lack of economic perspectives in large parts of the Global South to provoke migration at a massive scale. Conflict, terrorism, organized crime, and fundamentalism converge as a threat. Our institutions have difficulty coping; mankind is hard pressed to adapt. Politics become more volatile. Stability is a word from the past. In his new book Theodor H. Winkler presents a fascinating review of the trends that mark the age of globalization we live in, and of the political questions raised by it. He analyzes what are the policy trends in, and implications of, an unruly world, and he makes concrete proposals what should be done to improve our ability to cope with the multiple challenges posed. This is an important contribution to the key political debates of our time. It is a must for diplomats, politicians, journalists, representatives of non-governmental institutions, academics, and anybody interested in politics. (Series: International Relations - Diplomacy - Security / Aussenpolitik - Diplomatie - Sicherheit, Vol. 3) [Subject: Politics, Globalization, International Relations, Climate Change]

Living in an Unruly World

The Challenges We Face

By: Theodor H. Winkler

In his new book, Winkler looks at the transition from an US-led to a multipolar world. With a time horizon of 2100, he identifies the megatrends that will shape the century - demography, migration, climate change, the technological revolution -, looks at the leaders and strategies of the key players, notably the US, China, and Russia, and identifies the areas of potential conflict as well as the implications of the decay of the multilateral system and of the growing fragmentation of national politics. The author makes concrete proposals how to cope with the challenges we face. A must for everyone interested in politics.
