No es frecuente encontrar libros que resuman, de manera brillante y redonda, una materia como la estrategia, ampliamente tratada en eruditos y descomunales manuales, como es el caso de autores tan reconocidos como Freedman, Luttwak o Paret. Gaddis ha conseguido la proeza de extraer, en un texto breve y asequible, la esencia de los grandes dilemas de la estrategia. En efecto, el libro es ágil y disfrutable, incluso para lectores no especializados; refleja un conocimiento profundo de la temática abordada, cosa que se da por descontada en el gran historiador de la guerra fría y, además, condensa amplias horas de lectura, reflexión e interacción con académicos y tomadores de decisión. Es, por añadidura, un texto elegante con una singular sensibilidad literaria que aparece en múltiples y oportunas citas de Shakespeare, Scott Fitzgerald y otros gigantes de la literatura. Por supuesto, el libro sigue-con rigor pedagógico-una secuencia que conecta a Jerjes con Franklin D. Roosevelt y está articulado en torno a los grandes exponentes del pensamiento estratégico. Desde Heródoto hasta Tucídides, pasa revista a Maquiavelo y San Agustín, Tolstoi y Clausewitz y, presidiendo de toda la reflexión, el colosal y cada vez más valorado historiador del pensamiento político: Isaiah Berlin. De Berlín, el autor retoma el muy conocido ensayo sobre la zorra y el erizo. El texto de Berlin, como es sabido, abre con una cita del poeta griego Arquíloco que dice: "La zorra sabe muchas cosas, pero el erizo sabe una importante". La diferencia esencial entre los dos animales refleja también la forma en que los humanos pueden razonar y comportarse ante un entorno agresivo e incierto. El zorro es sagaz y puede prever

This paper focuses on the challenges faced by the mobile operator Nawras when entering the Omani telecoms market in 2005. The source material consists of autoethnographic accounts of two European managers who worked at Nawras during the launch period. The result is a rich and highly personal account of market entry challenges and managerial efforts to overcome such challenges in a newly deregulated Gulf country. The Nawras story suggests that entrants into a Gulf market such as Oman need a great deal of flexibility and improvisation capabilities in order to become successful.

Memory, Trauma, and the Construction of the Self, 2021

Ali Smith’s “Autumn” is the first novel in her ‘seasonal quartet’, that centers around the idea that time flies. The novel is filled with dreams, memories, past and current day events, emphasizing the subjective nature of both history as well as personal experience, in a world where the only constant things is change. Although the theme of death occupies an important part in the novel, “Autumn” is a text that invites to hope in a future that might be brighter. Unexpectedly, hope arises from forgetting, not from remembering, since the erasure of the past might offer the chance for a new beginning.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2024

The interdisciplinary community of ocean and coastal observers and modelers in Europe is driven by national observing needs for prediction and management of intricate processes shaping Europe's Seas. Not all observing needs can be addressed by nations alone and various coordination activities exist to overcome fragmentation and create cross benefit within the European Ocean Observing Community (EOOC). This way critical insights into impacts of climate change on European Waters and cross border marine resources management can be achieved. Based on a large number of published material, this article is identifying and addressing the current state of activities of the EOOC and states gaps that potentially prevent efficacy. Key challenges include spatial and temporal coverage in observations, data integration, accessibility, uncertainties in projections, technological hurdles, and engagement and communication gaps. Detailed recommendations are provided for identified gaps, offering valuable insights for stakeholders, funders, and supporters of the EOOC. These recommendations, extending beyond academic interest, carry significant implications for climate change mitigation, marine resource management efficiency, ecosystem resilience, disaster preparedness, economic benefits, and the broader scientific advancements in European marine science, thereby benefiting society at large. As the world undergoes transformative changes impacting all facets of European life, substantial investment and support for the EOOC are crucial for precise information, accurate predictions, supporting sustained services that contribute to business growth and community resilience, and a sustainable ocean.

Speaking about his standards for literary criticism in a 1972 interview, Ralph Ellison argued: “There is a moral obligation for the critic to recognize what is rich and what is viable in criticism and then apply it and play it back through his own experience, through his sense of what is important not just about criticism, but about life.” Indeed, Ellison’s own essays on literature constitute a realization of these criteria, blending as they do close reading practices, broad assertions, and personal digressions that explore in candid, biographical terms Ellison’s experience as an African American, an Oklahoman, an orphan. In this paper, I consider how Ellison’s essays model a form of literary criticism in which “the personal” is not only expected, but encouraged. More broadly, I suggest that all of Ellison’s work—both fiction and non-fiction—invites a critical practice staked on intimacy, legitimizing the reader’s own experience as a lens for interpretation. This is perhaps most obvious in Invisible Man’s famous final line, but also through the various revealing personal narratives Ellison uses in his own literary criticism. Thinking through this invitation as a white scholar of Ellison’s work, I reflect on the racialized border-crossing Ellison promotes, and less categorically, the individualized interpersonal connection his writing encourages. In this, I do not wish to ignore an opportunity to discuss, in Michael Awkward’s words, my “own racial positionality’s effects on the process of interpretation,” but rather to open up new ways of reading Ellison—not through the prism of existing critical models, but instead through openings suggested by his work itself.
