Blerim Burjani Bücher

Die aktuelle globale Lage ist von zahlreichen Herausforderungen geprägt, darunter ungelöste Konflikte und die Auswirkungen der Pandemie auf Politik, Wirtschaft und Bildung. Die Verschiebung von Wahlen und die Gefahr eines wirtschaftlichen Zusammenbruchs durch anhaltende Krisen stellen ernsthafte Bedrohungen dar. Energiekrisen und der Klimawandel verschärfen die Situation zusätzlich. Die UNO und Staaten müssen ihre Anstrengungen im Krisenmanagement intensivieren, um einen dauerhaften Frieden sowie ein verbessertes wirtschaftliches und soziales Wohlergehen zu fördern.

Korruption wird als das schädlichste Übel der Menschheit dargestellt, das tief im menschlichen Verlangen nach Reichtum und Macht verwurzelt ist. Der Fokus liegt auf den Politikern, die durch demokratische Wahlen Kontrolle über öffentliche Gelder erlangen und damit die Entwicklung von Millionären fördern. Das Buch beleuchtet die weit verbreitete Korruption, die in allen Gesellschaftsschichten und auf allen Kontinenten existiert, und zeigt, wie selbst Menschen aus extremer Armut in der Lage sind, durch korrupte Strukturen aufzusteigen.

Die Bürgermeinung spielt eine entscheidende Rolle im Kampf gegen Korruption. Umfragen zeigen, dass viele Bürger die staatlichen Bemühungen als unzureichend empfinden. Jüngste Eurobarometer-Umfragen zeigen, dass 70 % der Bürger Korruption für weit verbreitet halten und 78 % der Unternehmensleiter enge Verbindungen zwischen Wirtschaft und Politik als problematisch ansehen.
