"House of Trump, House of Putin offers the first comprehensive investigation into the decades-long relationship among Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Russian Mafia that ultimately helped win Trump the White House. It is a chilling story that begins in the 1970s, when Trump made his first splash in the booming, money-drenched world of New York real estate, and ends with Trump's inauguration as president of the United States. That moment was the culmination of Vladimir Putin's long mission to undermine Western democracy, a mission that began more than thirty years ago, when the Russian Mafia first targeted Trump properties to launder money, and led to Putin's oligarchs and Mafia kingpins rescuing Trump from a string of sensational Trump hotel and casino bankruptcies in Atlantic City. This book confirms the most incredible American paranoias about Russian malevolence. To most, it will be a hair-raising revelation that the Cold War did not end in 1991--that it merely evolved, with Trump's apartments offering the perfect vehicle for billions of dollars to leave the collapsing Soviet Union. In House of Trump, House of Putin, Craig Unger methodically traces the deep-rooted alliance between the highest echelons of American political operatives and the biggest players in the frightening underworld of the Russian Mafia. He traces Donald Trump's sordid ascent from foundering real estate tycoon to the highest office in the land. He traces Russia's phoenixlike rise from the ashes of the post-Cold War Soviet Union as well as its ceaseless covert efforts to retaliate against the West and reclaim its status as a global superpower. Without Trump, Russia would have lacked a key component in its attempts to return to imperial greatness. Without Russia, Trump would not be president. This essential book is crucial to understanding the real powers at play in the shadows of today's world. "--Dust jacket.

Entre fascination et peur, enthousiasme et hostilité, la nouvelle migration chinoise questionne. Les travaux sur « la Chine en Afrique » ont occulté l'importance de l'émergence de la Chine pour ses voisins les plus proches. Cette omission est particulièrement flagrante dans le cas de l'Asie du Sud-Est qui a toujours été le principal théâtre des engagements commerciaux de la Chine avec le monde. Considérée comme l'arrière-cour naturelle de la Chine, l'Asie du Sud-Est est un laboratoire complexe et hétérogène des circulations et des identités en construction à l'aube du « siècle chinois ». La question des relations entre la Chine et le reste du monde est tantôt pensée en termes de domination, de menace, d'exploitation, et de soutien aux régimes autoritaires, tantôt en termes d'aubaine et d'opportunités de développement. Cette recherche propose de dépasser cette approche binaire en décrivant les stratégies mises en œuvre par les acteurs locaux pour atténuer l'inégalité des rapports de force, négocier l'asymétrie, contourner l'hégémonie, embrasser, résister ou manipuler les termes dictés par les capitaux chinois. Le présent Carnet, centré sur les pays de l'ancienne Indochine française - le Cambodge, le Viêt Nam et le Laos - constitue la première étape d'un projet éditorial plus large qui se donne pour ambition de relever ce défi.
