Title: [Spanish] - Orden mundial: Reflexiones sobre el carácter de los países y el curso de la historia

Author: Henry Kissinger

Narrator: Roger Vidal

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 12 hours 52 minutes

Release date: January 19, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Una profunda reflexión sobre qué motiva la armonía y el conflicto en las relaciones internacionales, por el Premio Nobel de la Paz. «Las conclusiones de Kissinger deberían ser lectura obligada para los candidatos a las elecciones de 2016. El orden mundial depende de ello.» The Financial Times Henry Kissinger presenta una profunda y original reflexión sobre las causas que originan la armonía y los conflictos en los asuntos globales. A partir de su inmensa experiencia como uno de los principales estadistas del siglo XX, asesor de presidentes, conocedor del mundo, observador y participante en los temas centrales de política internacional de último medio siglo, Kissinger expone en esta obra su visión del reto fundamental del siglo XXI: cómo construir un orden internacional compartido en un mundo con perspectivas históricas divergentes, plagado de conflictos violentos, tecnología desbocada y extremismo ideológico. Reseñas: «El mejor Kissinger, con su inimitable combinación de erudición y agudeza, y el talento para unir titulares con tendencia a largo plazo; a muy largo en este caso. Abarca desde el Tratado de Westphalia a los avances en microprocesadores, desde Sun Tzu a Talleyrand, a Twitter.» Hillary Clinton, The Washington Post «Un magnífico ensayo sobre el desorden político internacional.» Lluis Bassets, Babelia «El nuevo libro de Henry Kissinger, Orden mundial, no puede ser más oportuno. Kissinger, a sus 91 años, recorre a buen paso los siglos y los continentes, y examina las alianzas y los conflictos que han definido Europa a través de los siglos, las consecuencias de la desintegración de estados como Siria o Iraq, y la relación de China con el resto de Asia y Occidente.» Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times «Este libro combina historia, geografía, política contemporánea y buenas dosis de pasión. Así es, pasión, ya que es un cri de coeur de un famoso escéptico, un aviso a las generaciones futuras de un anciano gran conocedor del pasado, un libro que todos los políticos deberían leer.» John Mickletwait, The New York Times Book Review «El libro de Kissinger es un fascinante e instructivo recorrido global por la búsqueda de la armonía. La clave del realismo en las relaciones internacionales de Kissinger, y el tema de este libro magistral, es que esa humildad es importante no solo para las personas, sino también para los países, incluido Estados Unidos.» Walter Isaacson, Time «Kissinger demuestra por qué sigue siendo un asesor tan respetado tanto por presidentes estadounidenses como por líderes internacionales. Orden Mundial es una guía para perplejos, un manifiesto para repensar el papel de Estados Unidos y del mundo. La visión de Kissinger podría contribuir a crear una era más tranquila que la que tenemos ahora mismo.» Jacob Heilbrunn, The National Interest

Title: Show Me The Bodies: How We Let Grenfell Happen

Author: Peter Apps

Narrator: Colin Mace

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 15 minutes

Release date: January 19, 2023

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 3

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

On 14 June 2017, a 24-storey block of flats went up in flames. The fire climbed up cladding as flammable as solid petrol. Fire doors failed to self-close. No alarm rang out to warn sleeping residents. As smoke seeped into their homes, all were told to ‘stay put'. Many did – and they died. It was a disaster decades in the making. Peter Apps exposes how a steady stream of deregulation, corporate greed and institutional indifference caused this tragedy. It is the story of a grieving community forsaken by our government, a community still waiting for change. “However painful the story of Grenfell is, it is one we must hear. Apps' powerful testament tells us how injustice was manifested and how lessons still fail to be learned.” - David Lammy MP “A staggering achievement, both a testament to the victims, the bereaved and the community of Grenfell and a painstaking, forensic investigation into the causes of the crime itself.” - David Peace, author of the Red Riding Quartet “Compelling, rigorous, utterly forensic and so very needed. This book has to be the moment that things change.” - Lucy Easthope, author of When the Dust Settles

Title: The Nations of NATO: Shaping the Alliance's Relevance and Cohesion

Author: Thierry Tardy

Narrator: Paul Heitsch

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 12 hours 39 minutes

Release date: January 17, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

NATO stands at the forefront of the response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine. But how does NATO function? The Nations of NATO explores national policies within the Atlantic Alliance. It examines the foreign policies of sixteen allies, focusing on issues such as their strategic cultures, relationship with the US, contributions to NATO operations, levels of defense spending, domestic challenges, and decision-making processes. The recent crisis in Ukraine has without doubt reinvigorated NATO as a military alliance, but over the last decade it has also been affected by a number of challenges, both endogenous and exogenous. Whether the Alliance is threatened from the outside (Russia, terrorism, China) or is being undermined from within (intra-Alliance politics, diverging threat perceptions) has become an increasingly debated issue. The degree to which the Alliance can adapt to evolving threats has also been at stake. At the heart of these debates are NATO allies' policies, preferences, threat perceptions, and level of commitment to the shared enterprise. By analyzing the drivers, constraints, and specificities of relevant national policies, the volume offers an overview of NATO's contemporary functions and challenges, and constitutes an important source of data for future research and comparative analysis.

Title: [Portuguese] - Justiça Restaurativa pela lente de uma Magistrada: um relato de experiência

Author: Carolina Valões

Narrator: Equipe Multicast

Format: Abridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 15 minutes

Release date: January 12, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

O livro trata da política judiciária da Justiça Restaurativa (JR) e sua aplicação nos crimes cometidos com violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher. A autora, que é Juíza do Tribunal de Justiça de Alagoas (TJAL) e coordenou o Núcleo de JR do referido Tribunal entre 2018 e 2021, apresenta o panorama detalhado da implementação da política no Poder Judiciário (PJ). A obra é dividida em três capítulos. No primeiro, a autora discorreu sobre a Política Nacional de Justiça Restaurativa e a sua aplicação na seara da violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher. Nesse ponto, apresentou inédito e extenso mapeamento de todos os Tribunais de Justiça do país que desenvolvem práticas restaurativas nessa seara, com informações específicas de cada programa. O segundo capítulo revelou o modelo de JR do TJAL e o passo a passo da implementação do programa em Alagoas, que se deu no 4º Juizado de Violência Doméstica e Familiar de Maceió. Há valiosos destaques sobre os desafios, projetos, parcerias, metodologia e atuação das equipes (multidisciplinar e de facilitadoras). O terceiro e último capítulo expôs a análise da autora sobre os processos restaurativos de atendimentos das vítimas e ofensores e da aptidão de as práticas restaurativas aplicadas funcionarem como política judiciária de enfrentamento à violência contra a mulher. Em suas conclusões, além de apresentar os resultados da pesquisa, a autora levanta uma série de preocupações e de propostas para o aperfeiçoamento do programa no PJ.

Title: Algorithms for the People: Democracy in the Age of AI

Author: Josh Simons

Narrator: Teri Schnaubelt

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 23 minutes

Release date: January 10, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

This audiobook narrated by Teri Schnaubelt explains how to put democracy at the heart of AI governance Artificial intelligence and machine learning are reshaping our world. Police forces use them to decide where to send police officers, judges to decide whom to release on bail, welfare agencies to decide which children are at risk of abuse, and Facebook and Google to rank content and distribute ads. In these spheres, and many others, powerful prediction tools are changing how decisions are made, narrowing opportunities for the exercise of judgment, empathy, and creativity. In Algorithms for the People, Josh Simons flips the narrative about how we govern these technologies. Instead of examining the impact of technology on democracy, he explores how to put democracy at the heart of AI governance. Drawing on his experience as a research fellow at Harvard University, a visiting research scientist on Facebook's Responsible AI team, and a policy advisor to the UK's Labour Party, Simons gets under the hood of predictive technologies, offering an accessible account of how they work, why they matter, and how to regulate the institutions that build and use them. He argues that prediction is political: human choices about how to design and use predictive tools shape their effects. Approaching predictive technologies through the lens of political theory casts new light on how democracies should govern political choices made outside the sphere of representative politics. Showing the connection between technology regulation and democratic reform, Simons argues that we must go beyond conventional theorizing of AI ethics to wrestle with fundamental moral and political questions about how the governance of technology can support the flourishing of democracy.
