Staatskunst
Nieuwe spelregels in een verdeelde wereldWaarom liep Rusland vast in de eerste maanden van de invasie van Oekraïne? Waarom slaat Israël internationale druk over Gaza keer op keer in de wind? Waarom investeert het Verenigd Koninkrijk miljarden in vliegdekschepen die het nauwelijks kan bemannen en bevoorraden? En hoe weten kleine staten toch invloed uit te oefenen in een wereld die wordt gedomineerd door grootmachten?We leven in een tijdperk van geopolitieke spanningen en gewelddadige conflicten zoals we die sinds de Koude Oorlog niet meer hebben gekend. Van Oekraïne tot het Midden-Oosten en Taiwan: de strijd om macht en invloed woedt heviger dan ooit. In Staatskunst neemt Jack Watling de lezer mee achter de gesloten deuren van machtige regeringen en in de bunkers waar veldslagen worden aangestuurd. Hij ontrafelt de verborgen logica achter deze wedloop om dominantie.Met zijn ervaring uit conflictgebieden en als adviseur van generaals en politieke leiders analyseert Watling de cruciale keuzes waar staten voor staan, groot én klein. Van economische allianties en wereldhandel tot zeemacht en militaire technologie: Staatskunst biedt een scherpzinnig en onmisbaar raamwerk om grip te krijgen op een steeds meer verdeelde wereld.

The Arms of the Future
Technology and Close Combat in the Twenty-First CenturyYou can put down your ‘future war’ novels and read instead the actual study of the deployment of modern weapons and systems from someone who has seen many of them in action, often as a frequent visitor to the battlefields of Ukraine. Jack Watling examines critically and thoughtfully how forces will fight in the mid-decades of the century, exploding the hyperbolae, war-scares, and myths with some very hard truths. For each technology, working from the tactical to the strategic, he focusses on its functional logic and its dependencies. If you want to know how to ‘find, fix, and finish’ in the battlespace, and you want to know how the technology works in practice, you have just found the book you need.

La geopolitica del disordine
Le nuove regole del potere in un mondo a pezzi. Da Gaza all'Iran, alleanze, conflitti e strategie in un pianeta instabile. Alleanze economiche, controllo dei mari e nuove tecnologie militari. I meccanismi nascosti del potere globale svelati da un esperto di difesa internazionale. Perché Israele riesce a resistere a una pressione internazionale sempre più intensa sulla guerra a Gaza? Perché l'Iran, pur evitando uno scontro diretto, riesce a condizionare la sicurezza globale minacciando lo Stretto di Hormuz, da cui transita una quota vitale dell'energia mondiale? E perché basta un'escalation nel Golfo Persico per far tremare mercati, alleanze e governi? Perché la Russia ha incontrato difficoltà inattese nei primi mesi dell'invasione dell'Ucraina, nonostante la sua superiorità militare apparente? Perché il Regno Unito investe miliardi in portaerei che fatica a rendere pienamente operative? Viviamo in un'epoca segnata da polarizzazione, conflitti multilivello e crisi permanenti, in cui le regole del potere non sono più quelle del passato. Dallo Stretto di Hormuz al Mar Nero, da Gaza al Mar Cinese Meridionale, la forza militare non basta più: contano logistica, resilienza industriale, consenso politico e capacità di sostenere il conflitto nel tempo. Attingendo alla sua esperienza diretta come analista sul campo e consulente di generali e leader politici, Jack Watling ci conduce dietro le quinte dello scenario geopolitico contemporaneo, offrendo una chiave di lettura lucida e provocatoria per comprendere come si esercita davvero il potere in un mondo instabile, interconnesso e sempre più diviso.
