WORLD IN MOTION
Why the 21st century has become so dangerous

Raimund Löw has been reporting for ORF as a foreign correspondent since the 1980s. His interviews with Mikhail Gorbachev, Bill Clinton, Luis Inacio „Lula“ da Silva, George W. Bush and many more attracted international attention. Raimund Löw witnessed the upheavals in Russia around 1989 in Moscow, he was an ORF correspondent in Brussels, Washington and Beijing and experienced the mostly dynamic developments in the respective countries at first hand.
His new book, published by Falter-Verlag, is a journalistic journey through the changes in international politics that have led to today's reality in the first half of the 21st century. It centres on the crisis-ridden development of the superpower USA, the EU's resistance to centrifugal forces, the rise of the authoritarian world power China, Russia's confrontations and the cycles of violence in the Middle East.
The upheavals in the most important focal points of world politics are analysed, brought to life and their significance explained.
