Diversity programmes are everywhere. But despite all the intention and focus, progress is painfully slow. Homophobia, transphobia, racism and misogyny remain stubbornly pervasive, and unfortunately, many inclusion programmes do more to create negativity toward the diversity agenda than they do to bring about measurable and lasting change. Why isn’t change happening more rapidly? What are we doing wrong? Or better yet, what should we be doing differently if we want to drive different outcomes? Although most of us are curious about diversity, and some would go so far as to call ourselves allies, very few of us are skilled in inclusion. In the absence of knowing what to do, we double down on being nice and hope that will be enough. Unfortunately, this optimistic attitude may harm as much as help. This book is for anyone who wants to dive into the complex task of supporting diversity and increasing inclusion. It’s filled with insight and practical know-how. It will help you navigate the polarised and divisive issues we face, and move beyond just talking about diversity to playing an active role in shaping an inclusive future.

English | ISBN: 1107629209 | 2014 | 444 pages | PDF | 3 MB
When American and British troops swept through the German Reich in the spring of 1945, they confiscated a broad range of government papers and archives. These records were subsequently used in war crimes trials and published under Allied auspices to document the German road to war. In 1949, the West Germans asked for their return, considering the request one of the benchmarks of their new state sovereignty. This book traces the tangled history of the captured German records and the extended negotiations for their return into German custody. Based on meticulous research in British, American, and German archives, The Struggle for the Files highlights an overlooked aspect of early West German diplomacy and international relations. All participants were aware that the files constituted historical material essential to write German history and at stake was nothing less than the power to interpret the recent German past.

Today the world is in a transition period to the next level of development of the human community on our planet. God created the universe to exist in constant motion and balance. But in human society and politics, there are always different points of view on global problems, which often threaten nuclear war and the disappearance of world civilization. Moreover, due to the current political and economic situation, the world is divided into two large and opposing groups. The first group includes totalitarian autocratic countries Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. The remainder of the world, led by the US, Canada, Australia, and EU nations, is included in the second category. The situation is complicated by the Covid-19 pandemic, inflation, the high cost of living, Russian aggression against Ukraine, the war between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas and Iranian proxies. History repeats itself. The world is in a Cold War between two coalitions: Good and Evil. Based on actual events, the author of this book attempted to illustrate and analyse the historical perspectives of political leaders in Moscow, the EU, and Washington regarding the stances of the major powers.
