Ukraine and Russia : from civilized divorce to uncivil war / by D'Anieri, Paul J.,1965-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."D'Anieri explores the dynamics within Ukraine, between Ukraine and Russia, and between Russia and the West, that emerged with the collapse of the Soviet Union and eventually led to war in 2014. Proceeding chronologically, this book shows how Ukraine's separation from Russia in 1991, at the time called a 'civilized divorce', led to what many are now calling 'a new Cold War'. He argues that the conflict has worsened because of three underlying factors--the security dilemma, the impact of democratization on geopolitics, and the incompatible goals of a post-Cold War Europe. Rather than a peaceful situation that was squandered, D'Anieri argues that these were deep-seated pre-existing disagreements that could not be bridged, with concerning implications for the resolution of the Ukraine conflict. The book also shows how this war fits into broader patterns of contemporary international conflict and should therefore appeal to researchers working on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia's relations with the West, and conflict and geopolitics more generally." --

"Landing in Vancouver on a flight from Hong Kong on December 2018, Chinese telecom executive Meng Wanzhou was arrested by Canadian authorities with an American extradition warrant.

Nine days later, in an act of retaliation, China arrested two Canadians--Michael Spavor, an entrepreneur, and Michael Kovrig, a peace advocate--charging them with spying. Imprisoned and interrogated, the Two Michaels became hostages in a tense showdown between China and the United States over not only the Meng extradition but whether East or West will control the future of the internet. In this timely and essential book, journalist Mike Blanchfield and international affairs expert Fen Hampson combine groundbreaking original reporting and keen analysis to tell this gripping and ongoing story of cyber espionage, life-and-death diplomacy, and global superpowers in conflict."--

Voice for the voiceless : over seven decades of struggle with China for my land and my people / by Bstan-ʼdzin-rgya-mtsho,Dalai Lama XIV,1935-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The Dalai Lama has had to contend with the People's Republic of China for his entire life. He was sixteen when Communist China invaded Tibet in 1950, nineteen when he had his first meeting with Chairman Mao in Beijing, and twenty-five when he was forced to escape to India and became a leader in exile. In the decades since, he has faced Communist China's leaders ... Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping ... in his efforts to protect Tibet and its people, with their distinct language, culture, religion, history, and environment. Now, almost seventy-five years after China's invasion of Tibet, the Dalai Lama reminds the world of Tibet's unresolved struggle for freedom and the hardship his people continue to face in their own homeland. He offers his thoughts on the geopolitics of the region and shares how he personally was able to preserve his own humanity through the profound losses and challenges that threaten the very survival of the Tibetan people. This book captures the Dalai Lama's extraordinary life journey ... discovering what it means to lose your home to a repressive invader and to build a life in exile; dealing with the existential crisis of a nation, its people, and its culture and religion; and envisioning the path forward.

The art of diplomacy : strengthening the Canada-U.S. relationship in times of uncertainty / by Heyman, Bruce,1958-author.; Heyman, Vicki,1957-author.;
"When Bruce Heyman was sworn in as the United States Ambassador to Canada, he and his wife and confidante, Vicki, already knew the country north of the border as America's closest friend and neighbour. By the end of four years as ambassador, he and Vicki were in love with the country. Together, Bruce and Vicki opened their hearts to Canada and helped unite two countries that share so much more than just a border. In their memoir, Bruce and Vicki invite readers to explore what Canada has to offer as they reflect on the experiences that shaped them and the people from coast to coast to coast who taught them what it means to be Canadian. Heartfelt and honest, this memoir is a love letter to Canada from a couple that exemplifies that we are at our best when we are strong and standing together."-- Provided by publisher.
