On the Embassy to Gaius Exploring Diplomacy and Power in Ancient Alexandria【電子書籍】[ Philo ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "On the Embassy to Gaius," Philo of Alexandria presents a detailed narrative that explores the complex relationship between Jews and the Roman Empire during the first century CE. This work not only recounts the mission led by Jewish ambassadors to Emperor Gaius Caligula but also employs sophisticated rhetoric and philosophical reasoning to articulate the Jewish identity amidst a predominant Graeco-Roman milieu. Philo's illustrious command of both Hebrew traditions and Hellenistic thought positions the text as a critical bridge between two cultural landscapes, revealing the tension between religious fidelity and the exigencies of imperial governance. Philo, a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher, was born in Alexandria, a hub of cultural exchange where Jewish and Greco-Roman ideas converged. His experiences as a leading member of the Jewish community in Alexandria, coupled with his profound engagement with Platonic and Stoic philosophies, deeply inform his writings. This particular work stems from the socio-political turmoil faced by the Jewish population under Gaius, reflecting Philo's urgent desire to defend and articulate the plight of his people within a challenging historical framework. I highly recommend "On the Embassy to Gaius" to scholars and enthusiasts alike, as it serves not only as a vital historical document but also as a profound philosophical treatise. It invites readers to contemplate the intricate dynamics of identity, power, and the cultural dialogues that have shaped our understanding of ancient civilizations.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	310円
On the Embassy to Gaius【電子書籍】[ Philo ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞An ancient Roman history text, translated by Charles Yonge, and written by the Greek philosopher Philo of Alexandria. The Embassy to Gaius was a meeting between Gaius Caligula, the then Roman Emperor, and a large contingent of Jews.

This book is important because it helps to understand the relations between Jews and Romans in the first century A.D.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	300円
Personal Narrative of Occurrences During Lord Elgin's Second Embassy of China, 1860【電子書籍】[ Baron Henry Brougham Loch ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In 1860, James Bruce (1811-63), the eighth Earl of Elgin, embarked upon a second embassy to China which aimed to obtain ratification of the Treaty of Tientsin and finally conclude the Second Opium War on terms favourable to the British. Accompanying Elgin as his private secretary was the enterprising army officer Henry Brougham Loch (1827-1900). Originally published in 1869, Loch's first-hand account of the mission reflects sustained concern over Britain's strained trading relationship with China in the nineteenth century. Notwithstanding his views regarding the need for European influence to shape China's future success in government, his clearly written narrative illuminates contemporary diplomacy and the events surrounding the Convention of Peking in October 1860. Prior to this outcome, Loch had been captured, imprisoned and brutally tortured by Chinese officials. His chapters detailing this experience and his eventual release are especially noteworthy.-Print ed.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	432円

They're in Beijing, Riyadh, Nairobi, Geneva, and of course Washington, DC. They look uneasy on camera.

Learning From the Enemy: The Gunman Project - Espionage at the Moscow U.S. Embassy, Soviet Spying, IBM Selectric Typewriter Bugs, Great Seal Implant【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This NSA paper examines the nature of the Soviet electronic penetration and the damage assessment of Soviet access to typewriters at the U.S. embassy in Moscow. This history of Project GUNMAN will also answer such questions as how the typewriter bugs were discovered and how they worked.＜/p＞＜p＞Countries have spied on each other by gathering information from embassies for centuries. The United States and the Soviet Union were of course archenemies during the Cold War (1945 to the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991), and there is a long history of attempts by the Soviets to gain access to information from the U.S. embassy and its diplomatic apparatus. Perhaps the most famous incident of Soviet espionage was the Great Seal implant.＜/p＞＜p＞On 4 August 1945, Soviet schoolchildren presented a carving of the Great Seal of the U.S. to Averell Harriman, the U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union. The carving hung in Spaso house, the ambassador's residential office in Moscow, until 1952, when the U.S. State Department discovered that there was a microphone hidden inside the carving that the Soviets turned on at will. This bug was not a standard microphone and could not be detected unless it was in use. For six years the Soviets were able to eavesdrop on the conversations of the U.S. ambassador. The Soviet threat to U.S. embassy security was both well documented and real.＜/p＞＜p＞The typewriter bugs marked a new level of sophistication because they were electromechanical. For the first time, the Soviets gathered information from a piece of equipment that held written plain text information. Prior to the discovery of these bugs, the U.S. believed that the Russians had only used room audio bugs with microphones or listening devices to eavesdrop on American embassy activities. As a totalitarian society, the Soviet Union valued eavesdropping and thus developed ingenious methods to accomplish it.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	530円
Embassy of the Dead【電子書籍】[ Will Mabbitt ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞Jake Green is dead. Or he might as well be when he mistakenly accepts a package from the Embassy of the Dead in this hilarious adventure of the afterlife, the first in a series.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞When Jake Green opens a mysterious box containing a severed finger, he accidentally summons a grim reaper intent on dragging him to the Eternal Void (yes, it’s as fatal as it sounds). Now Jake is running for his life. Luckily, he has a knack for talking to ghosts, which just might help him survive long enough to reach the Embassy of the Dead and plead his case. With the help of a prankster poltergeist and a dead undertaker, Jake dodges fearsome undead creatures, discovers his own ghostly abilities, and gets excused from the school field trip due to a terrible (and made-up) bout of diarrhea. But the Embassy has its own problems, and Jake must be very careful where he places his trustーin both the living and the dead. With a plot that zips and a colorful cast of characters, this delightful new series delivers laughs and shivers in equal measure.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,159円

Embassy to the Eastern Courts of Cochin-China, Siam, and Muscat in the U. S. Sloop-of-war Peacock, David Geisinger, Commander, During the Years 1832-3-4【電子書籍】[ Edmund Roberts ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Among the principal articles of export from the abovementioned islands is orchilla, a species of lichen. It is used for dying any shade of purple or crimson, and is superior to the same kind of moss found in Italy or the Canaries. This vegetable product glitters, as a sparkling gem, in the royal diadem of Portugal, having been monopolized by the crown, to which it yields an annual revenue of 200,000. The right of purchase claimed by the crown, allows only five cents per pound. Were it not for this unjust monopoly, orchilla would readily sell at twenty-five cents the pound. It is exported to Lisbon, and there sold, by the agents of the royal trader, to foreign merchants, who re-export it to their respective countries. Salt is produced at these islands, in large quantities, and furnishes a considerable article of export for the United States’ markets; being used for the salting of beef, butter, &c. Heavy cargoes of it are exported, principally by Americans, to Rio Grande and La Plata, for the curing of jerked or dried beef, which finds a ready sale in the market of Havana. It is also purchased by American sealers to salt the skins. In the list of fruits on this cluster of islands, the red and black grape are conspicuous. They furnish, converted into wine, a considerable article of internal commerce. St. Antonio alone, says Mr. Masters, of Sal, produces, annually, from fifteen hundred to two thousand pipes of wine. Owing to the ignorance of the inhabitants in the process of fermentation, it is of ordinary quality, generally unfit for transportation, and may be purchased at the rate of ten or twelve dollars per pipe. If there be truth in the often-repeated assertion, that volcanic countries produce the best wines, Fogo will export, at a future day, a very superior article. Since the year 1827, coffee, nearly equal in flavour to that of Mocha, has been cultivated with success. Previously to that period, the crown had laid an almost prohibitory duty on the importation of this article from its empoverished islanders, in order to encourage the agricultural produce of its more extensive southern possessions, in the vast territory of Brazil. Every planter, now, looks on his plantation as a source of increasing profit, and within five or six years, coffee will become the leading article of commerce from the Cape de Verd islands. It now realizes ten cents per pound. The remaining articles for export, are hides, skins, goats, and asses. We found the inhabitants, on several of these islands, suffering extreme distress from a want of provisions, occasioned by a failure in the periodical rains, for two successive years. At Fogo, many died from starvation. The inhabitants of this island have, long since, annually exported ten or twelve small cargoes of corn to Madeira, and in this, their day of suffering, the inhabitants of that sister-island received them by hundreds with every mark of kindness and attention. Some small relief was likewise administered from the Peacock. The whole appearance of the Cape de Verds, in consequence of this long-continued drought, was exceedingly arid; the grass assumed a dark brown colour, similar to that which may be seen on our western prairies, when a fire has passed over them. Nothing green was visible in the vicinity of Porto Praya, save in the deep valleys, lying on the outskirts of the town, where some moisture yet remained, and where water was obtained for the suffering population.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	640円
Embassy to the Eastern Courts America's Secret First Pivot Toward Asia, 1832?37【電子書籍】[ Andrew C A Jampoler ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Some two centuries ago, during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, New England’s merchants and traders found themselves frozen out of their traditional markets in Europe and the Caribbean. Desperate for new business for their idled ships and crews, they asked President Andrew Jackson to explore opportunities for them on the other side of the globe. Prompted by the secretary of the navy, Jackson sent Edmund Robertsーan unemployed ship owner from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with no diplomatic experienceーon an “embassy” (mission) to the potentates of Oman, Siam, Cochin China, and Japan, to negotiate pioneering trade treaties. So began an unusual and ultimately fatal adventure that twice took Roberts to exotic and dangerous places on the other side of the globe. Because the British and the Dutch were deeply interested in these same new markets, Roberts’ mission was kept secret. Sailing in the ill-fated USS ＜em＞Peacock,＜/em＞ first in company with USS ＜em＞Boxer,＜/em＞ then with USS ＜em＞Enterprise,＜/em＞ Roberts traveled almost 70,000 miles across the great expanses of two oceans to successfully negotiate treaties with Oman and Siam. Although he failed twice to win over the emperor of Cochin China and died miserably in Macao before departing for Japan, Roberts’ embassy was nonetheless instrumental in opening doors to new diplomatic realms and extending the commerce of the fledgling American nation. Kept secret at the time and largely forgotten today, Edmund Roberts’ fascinating and important story is recounted in this latest book by Andrew Jampolerーretired naval officer turned maritime historianーwhose previous works include ＜em＞Sailors in the Holy Land＜/em＞ and The Last Lincoln Conspirator.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	6,057円
Airpower versus Terrorism: Three Case Studies - Operation El Dorado Canyon: Airpower versus Libyan-Sponsored Terrorism, Operation Infinite Reach: The 1998 Embassy Bombing, Second Palestinian Intifada【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This important report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. It analyzes the effectiveness of airpower versus terrorism using three case studies. The first case study is Operation El Dorado Canyon, America's response to Libyan state-sponsored terrorism. The second case study is Operation Infinite Reach, America's cruise missile response to the 1998 al-Qaeda bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The third case study is the Israeli use of airpower versus the second Palestinian intifada of September 2000. The case studies address multiple common questions: "What was the context? "Why was airpower selected? How was airpower employed? "What were the objectives and were they achieved? And, finally, "What were the lessons learned? Additionally, each case study looks at the impact of military action on domestic opinion and third-party opinions. Overall, these three case studies reveal a spectrum of responses with which states can respond to terrorism. Operation Infinite Reach shows that when a nation is unwilling to commit itself seriously against an enemy, the message it sends is one of timidity and inertia. Operation El Dorado Canyon showed Mu'ammar Gadhafi that his support of terrorism would not come without cost. Further, Libya offered multiple high-value targets that could be destroyedーthus revealing a major weakness of states that sponsor terrorism. The Israeli use of air and ground power to combat terrorism has been effective, but this case also shows that military power alone cannot stop terrorism; at some point diplomacy must prevail.＜br /＞ Chapter 1 - Terrorism: Its Impact, the New American Approach, and Airpower * Chapter 2 - Operation El Dorado Canyon: Airpower versus Libyan-Sponsored Terrorism * Chapter 3 - Operation Infinite Reach: The 1998 US Embassy Bombing Response * Chapter 4 - The Second Palestinian Intifada * Chapter 5 - Conclusion * APPENDIX: THE OSLO NEGOTIATIONS＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,029円

The Embassy, the Ambush, and the Ogre Greco-Roman Influence in Sanskrit Theater【電子書籍】[ Roberto Morales-Harley ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This volume presents a sophisticated and intricate examination of the parallels between Sanskrit and Greco-Roman literature. By means of a philological and literary analysis, Morales-Harley hypothesizes that Greco-Roman literature was known, understood, and recreated in India. Moreover, it is argued that the techniques for adapting epic into theater could have been Greco-Roman influences in India, and that some of the elements adapted within the literary motifs (specifically the motifs of the embassy, the ambush, and the ogre) could have been Greco-Roman borrowings by Sanskrit authors.＜/p＞＜p＞This book draws on a wide variety of sources, including Iliad, Phoenix, Rhesus and Cyclops (Greco-Roman) as well as Mah?bh?rata, The Embassy, The Five Nights and The Middle One (Sanskrit). The result is a well-supported argument which presents us with the possibility of cultural exchange between the Greco-Roman world and India ? a possibility which, though hypothetical, is worth acknowledging.＜/p＞＜p＞Due to its comparative nature, this volume will appeal to both Indologists and Classicists, including Mah?bh?rata scholars, Sanskrit theater scholars, and those interested in comparative work with Sanskrit literature. It brings an original perspective to the field, and provides inspiration for new lines of research.＜/p＞＜ul＞＜li＞＜/li＞＜li＞＜/li＞＜li＞＜/li＞＜li＞＜/li＞＜li＞＜/li＞＜li＞＜/li＞＜/ul＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,172円

Art, Science, and Diplomacy: A Study of the Visual Images of the Macartney Embassy to China, 1793【電子書籍】[ Shanshan Chen ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book examines how the Embassy members approached, selected, and represented information, and how, in doing so, they helped to shape European perceptions of China. The Macartney Embassy of 1793 was the first British diplomatic mission to China, seeking to open ties between the two empires. As part of the mission, the British government commissioned writers and artists to chronicle the geography and culture of a civilization that had, until then, been shrouded in mystery.＜/p＞＜p＞A central focus of the book is the artwork itself, which provides a window into the diplomatic, artistic and scientific viewpoints underlying the mission. Drawing on archival research, the study recreates the processes through which the Embassy’s draughtsmen, scientists, and diplomats collaborated to represent the visual images, and how the materials were reworked for publication in London. The finished product demonstrates that the artists offered a distinct viewpoint in the representation of China, sometimes differing from the textual accounts, by blending scientific elements and artistic aesthetics in order to demystify China and make it more knowable to a British audience. It was in the interposition of text and image that the British public formulated an ambivalent perception of China that embraced both admiration and disdain.＜/p＞＜p＞In addition to the scholars, the book targets general readers who are interested in global art and history, and East?West interactions. It contains important images with detailed visual and historical analysis that enable readers to acquire knowledge on how the British represented China and how that image helped to shape the European perception of China during the British global expansion in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and beyond.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	14,585円

Death in the Embassy【電子書籍】[ Tony Flye ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞How do you prove that something did not happen? How do you prove a negative? This is the conundrum facing Jake Curtis and Vanessa Malone as they tried to prove their beautiful client, Isabella Patrillo, didn't murder her ex-husband. Alberto Patrillo dropped dead of arsenic poisoning at his ex-wife's feet during a gala at the Italian Embassy in Washington, DC. Post mortem tests revealed Alberto had been poisoned over the two months before he died.＜br /＞ The private investigator Isabella hired to look into the possibility of Alberto's unfaithfulness found out Alberto had not only one mistress, but that he had two mistresses. When the PI told Isabella about Alberto's cheating on her, she blocked him her mind and heart. She went to Reno, Nevada to obtain her divorce and returned back to DC three weeks before Alberto's death.＜br /＞ DC police homicide Detective Lieutenant Robert Murdoch is a good cop with one of the highest conviction rates in he department. He is a sometime protagonist of Jake and Vanessa and a sometime antagonist depending on his mood at the time. Murdoch considered the wife, or in this case the ex-wife, the prime suspect in her ex's murder. Isabella maintained her innocence.＜br /＞ Jake's Las Vegas PI friend and former Vegas cop, Linda Hampton, with whom he once had a brief relationship back before he met Vanessa discovered Isabella obtained her divorce three weeks before Alberto dropped dead and she didn't leave Nevada for the six weeks of her residence in Reno and the four days she later spent playing tourist 0in Las Vegas. Vanessa knows of Jake's friendship with Linda, but not of their relationship, or at least he doesn't think she does.＜br /＞ If Isabella didn't murder her ex, then who did? Did Alberto's daughter, Donatella, who stood to inherit her father's wealth, murder her father? Was it one of the two mistresses he promised to marry? Who dun it?＜br /＞ Through interviews with Isabella's daughter and Isabella's closest friends, Jake and Vanessa determined Isabella didn't have the opportunity to administer the poison to Alberto during the day. It was Isabella's nights that proved to be more of a problem. Did Isabella meet with Alberto at night, and if so, did she poison him?＜br /＞ Isabella's Jewish mother suggested that if Jake and Vanessa couldn't prove Isabella didn't meet Alberto at night, then prove Alberto didn't meet Isabella at night.

History of the Bureau of Diplomatic Security of the United States Department of State: Cold War, McCarthyism, Spies, Leaks, Bugs, Ambassador Dubs Killing, Moscow Embassy Bugging【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This Diplomatic Security history, professionally researched and written by the State Department Historian’s Office, is an authoritative reference source and an archival record of the many critical duties, milestone events, prominent personalities, and worldwide locations with which DS has been associated over the past century. The first comprehensive, detailed history ever prepared, it is dedicated to the men and women who have served the Bureau of Diplomatic Security and its predecessors ? the Office of Security (SY) and the Office of the Chief Special Agent of the U.S. Department of State ? from the inception in 1916 up to the present. Contents:＜/p＞＜p＞PREFACE - DEFINING DIPLOMATIC SECURITY * INTRODUCTION - THE FOUNDATIONS OF DIPLOMATIC SECURITY * CHAPTER 1 - SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS * Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933 * CHAPTER 2 - THE VITAL FUNCTION * World War II and Diplomatic Security * CHAPTER 3 - CREATING A SECURITY OFFICE * Robert L. Bannerman and Cold War, 1945-1950 * CHAPTER 4 - McCARTHYISM AND COLD WAR * Diplomatic Security in the 1950s * CHAPTER 5 - SPIES, LEAKS, BUGS, AND DIPLOMATS * Diplomatic Security in the 1960s * CHAPTER 6 - THE GREAT TRANSFORMATION * Terrorism and Diplomatic Security, 1967-1978 * CHAPTER 7 - ACCELERATING TRANSFORMATION * Enhancing Security, 1979-1985 * CHAPTER 8 - ALL UNDER ONE ROOF * A Bureau for Diplomatic Security, 1986-1992 * CHAPTER 9 - A BLUEPRINT FOR SECURITY * DS, Terrorism, and the Post-Cold War World, 1992-2000 * EPILOGUE - NEW MILLENNIUM, NEW CHALLENGES, NEW RESPONSIBILITIES, 2001-2010 * CONCLUSION - A MONUMENTAL BUT ESSENTIAL TASK * APPENDIX * Statement by the White House on the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of 1986: September 19, 1986 * Public Law 99-399: Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of 1986 [excerpt]＜/p＞＜p＞This history focuses on how the Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) and each of its predecessors (the Office of Security, the Security Office, and the Office of the Chief Special Agent) emerged and changed over the course of nearly a century. The work also describes how and why several security-related functions became centralized into a security office. Until recently, the personnel and resources devoted to the Department's security office have been small in relation to the enormous task confronting the Department's security professionals. As a result, individuals figure prominently in this history and their contributions are highlighted when possible.＜/p＞＜p＞Practices, procedures, and responsibilities often arise well before a bureaucracy designates a person or office to specialize in that task. Historians of cryptology have shown that rulers and diplomats used codes and ciphers in communications long before a national, city-state, or royal government devoted an entity or person exclusively to the creation of codes or the encryption / decryption of communications. Past generations of U.S. diplomats, including the first diplomat Benjamin Franklin, gave serious consideration to diplomatic security, yet, how they conceived the threats they faced and the countermeasures they devised were determined by the available technology and the milieu in which they lived. Some measures have changed so markedly that they now seem minimally related to security, yet the contribution of such "forgotten" measures to the history of diplomatic security is unmistakable. For example, from 1800 to 1916, Despatch Agents were the Department's foremost security personnel, but their work has changed significantly so that they are no longer viewed as security personnel.＜/p＞＜p＞Rather than trying to discuss each of the many security-related measures enacted by the Department of State, this history concentrates upon the broader context of threats and crises confronting the Department during a particular era, as well as the measures that fell eventually under the purview of DS.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,057円

Holy Ghost 2.0 - Neo-charismatische Bewegungen im Internetzeitalter am Beispiel der Christ Embassy, Nigeria【電子書籍】[ Svenja Heneka ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Region: Afrika, Universit?t zu K?ln (Institut f?r Sprachen und Kulturen Afrikas), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: ?ber die Grenzen von Nationalit?t und Ethnizit?t hinaus agieren pentekostale Bewegungen schon seit Jahrzehnten mit Hilfe von Fernsehsendungen und Radioshows in einem transnationalen, globalen Rahmen. Seit Beginn der 90er-Jahre etablierte sich jedoch ein neues, digitales Medium zunehmend als globale Verbreitungsm?glichkeit von Informationen: das Internet. Unabh?ngig von Kosten f?r Sendezeiten und politischen Beschr?nkungen kann jeder zu jeder Zeit an jedem Ort der Welt Informationen empfangen und verbreiten. Den letzten Sch?tzungen von Internet World Stats zufolge, hatten 2011 allein in Europa 61,3% der Gesamtbev?lkerung Zugang zum World Wide Web. Die Zahlen f?r Afrika stiegen in den letzten zehn Jahren von rund 4,5 Mio. Nutzern im Jahr 2000 auf ca. 139.875 Mio. im Jahr 2011, d.h. auf 13,5% der Gesamtbev?lkerung des Kontinents. 'The Holy Ghost travels well on the Internet' - was schon f?r Fernsehen, Radio und Printmedien galt, gilt auch f?r die neuen digitalen Medien. Zunehmend verlegen pentekostale Denominationen ihre Aktivit?ten ins World Wide Web - die meisten betreiben schon seit Jahren eigene Webseiten, sind auf Videoportalen wie beispielsweise YouTube oder in sozialen Netzwerken wie Facebook und Twitter vertreten. Neben der Redeemed Christian Church of God ist die Christ Embassy eine der einflussreichsten und finanzkr?ftigsten neo-charismatischen Denominationen Nigerias. Sie unterh?lt zahlreiche Auftritte im Internet, ist in den global bedeutendsten Netzwerken vertreten und gr?ndete verschiedene soziale Netzwerke, von denen Yookos, das im Januar 2011 ihr eigenes soziales Netzwerk, mit rund 6 Mio. Nutzern, das wohl erfolgreichste ist. [...]＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,255円
To the Secretary: Leaked Embassy Cables and America's Foreign Policy Disconnect【電子書籍】[ Mary Thompson-Jones ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞A former American diplomat reveals a disconnect between Washington policymakers and those who work in US embassies.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞When the world awoke on November 28, 2010, and read the first of the 251,287 State Department cables made public by WikiLeaks, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini warned, “It will be the September 11th of world diplomacy.” The WikiLeaks scandal certainly stirred tempers around the world, but it was not the implosion that many leaders expected: rather, it shed a new spotlight on the work of the U.S. foreign service. In ＜em＞To the Secretary＜/em＞, Mary Thompson-Jones explores the most fascinating and overlooked of these cables to offer an unparalleled window into the day-to-day work of U.S. diplomats, demystifying the lives of those who implement America’s foreign policy across the globe.＜/p＞＜p＞From the story of Bulgaria’s Aleksi “the Tractor” Petrov to disappearing ballot ink in Ukraine, a Honduran coup d’?tat, or disaster relief for a devastated Haiti, ＜em＞To the Secretary＜/em＞ depicts the work of ambassadors and foreign service officers through their firsthand narratives dealing with crises, corruption, and testy world leaders. Negotiating distinctly un-American customs and corridors of power, these shrewd brokers in embassies from Argentina to Zimbabwe worked tirelessly to promote American diplomacy in a world frequently hostile to the United States.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞To the Secretary＜/em＞ also reveals the disconnect that diplomats face at home, guided by conflicting approaches from multiple Washington stakeholders intent on their own agenda, often unaware of realities on the ground. In an honest assessment of America’s foreign policy challenges, Thompson-Jones describes the deepening gulf between decision makers in Washington and their diplomats in the field. From misinterpreted analyses of anti-Americanism to Washington’s unwillingness to send resources to support diplomatic activities that could make a difference, ＜em＞To the Secretary＜/em＞ shows what policymakers can learn from diplomats abroadーand how this can strengthen America’s place in an unstable world.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,424円
