Dealings with Dictators: A CEO's Guide to Defending Democracy

內容簡介

內容簡介 與獨裁者交手：一個CEO的捍衛民主指南全球商業領袖馬提亞斯・多普夫納在《與獨裁者交手》(暫譯) 中提出了一條「引人入勝」(《金融時報》首席國際事務專欄作家基德昂・拉赫曼Gideon Rachman評價)且具革命性的路徑，以重塑全球貿易、強化民主、並捍衛我們的自由。全球自由正在衰退，歐洲、亞洲及中東的獨裁者正在削弱我們的開放社會、人權與法治。俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭雖然讓西方警覺，但中國仍是最大的威脅。過去兩代人以來，美國與歐洲一直相信貿易能帶來變革，但現實卻是：獨裁政權並未變得更像西方民主國家，反而是無限制的自由貿易讓我們的敵人更強大，並侵蝕了自身國家的利益。我們陷入了「貿易陷阱」，面臨著選擇投機與屈服，或是對抗與自主的抉擇。在本書中，全球最具影響力的商業領袖之一 多普夫納回顧了西方對中國與俄羅斯的依賴如何形成，以及其高昂代價。他提出了一種顛覆性的自由貿易新策略——建立一個以價值觀為核心的民主聯盟。成員國需滿足三大基本標準：法治、人權與永續發展。符合標準的國家可以享有零關稅貿易，而違反者則需面對極高的關稅壁壘。透過分享他與多位全球領袖的直接交流經驗，包括普丁、埃爾多安、喬治・W・布希、梅克爾、馬雲等人，《與獨裁者交手》 既提供了個人視角，揭示與專制政權交易的危險後果，也為全球經濟與民主發展提出了一套大膽的價值導向貿易政策。Global business leader Mathias Döpfner offers a “compelling” (Gideon Rachman, chief foreign affairs columnist for Financial Times) and revolutionary road map to reshape global trade, strengthen our democracy, and safeguard our freedoms.Freedom is on the decline around the world. Autocrats in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East are undermining our open societies, human rights, and the rule of law. The Russian invasion of Ukraine was a wake-up call for the West, but the biggest threat remains China. For two generations, Americans and Europeans have believed that change will come through trade, but instead of dictatorships becoming more like Western democracies, unfettered free trade has strengthened our enemies and undermined our countries. We are caught in a trade trap, faced with the decision to choose either opportunism and submission or opposition and emancipation.In Dealing with Dictators, one of the world’s most powerful business leaders traces the rise and costs of Western dependency on China and Russia. And he suggests a radical new approach to free trade: The establishment of a new values-based alliance of democracies. Membership is based on the adherence to three very simple criteria: the rule of law, human rights, and sustainability targets. Countries that comply with these criteria can engage in tariff-free trade with others. Those who don’t will pay prohibitive tariffs.Sharing the author’s encounters with major global figures including Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, George W. Bush, Angela Merkel, Jack Ma, and more, Dealing with Dictators offers personal insight into the dangerous consequences of doing business with autocrats along with a bold proposal for a values-based trade policy.
