EU – Gemeinschaft?

Posted by Günter K.V. Vetter on 31/07/11

Weil die EU entgegen der Verträge Griechenland unterhakte, wankte plötzlich die gesamte Gemeinschaft. Nun musste die ganze EU gerettet werden. Viele Investoren haben nicht gegen Griechenland spekuliert, sondern auf die Kurzsichtigkeit der Politik. He…

Südostflanke Europas

Posted by Günter K.V. Vetter on 31/07/11

Aus historischer Perspektive ist der türkische Ministerpräsident Recep Tayyip Erdogan sicher im Recht. Die Sonderrolle, die das Militär in den letzten Tagen des Osmanischen Reiches errungen und bis jetzt eisern verteidigte, ist nicht mehr zu rechtfertigen. Generäle, die demokratische und rechtsstaatliche Prinzipien lange Zeit mit Stiefeln getreten haben, wirken wenig glaubwürdig, wenn sie in dem [...]

Aussenpolitik von Deutschland

Posted by Günter K.V. Vetter on 30/07/11

Sichtlich stolz war Außenminister Westerwelle, als er höchstpersönlich nach New York reiste, um für zwei Tage den Vorsitz im Sicherheitsrat zu übernehmen. Allerdings hatte auch er keine haarigen diplomatischen Konfliktfälle zu lösen, sondern relativ leichtes Spiel: Er durfte den Südsudan als neues Mitglied begrüßen… Der Minister präsentierte sich so, wie die deutsche Außenpolitik: Vermittelnd, friedfertig [...]

The terrorist attacks in Norway: the media, several EU leaders and the extremist EU politicians are responsible too

Posted by Cem on 29/07/11

In my opinion there is no failure of the multicultural society in Europe. And it is a mistake to explain the killings in Norway by pointing the finger at the immigrants of Muslim religion or by refering to religion. Those who are also responsible (after the murderer) for these terrorist attacks are some EU leaders [...]

Euro4: First fraudulent monetary practice. Now a fraudulent Council document!

Posted by David on 29/07/11

A euro based on supranational democracy would not fail to gain the highest credit ratings in all rating agencies worldwide. That is evident because it would have already been examined and rated that way by European civil organisations, businesses, workers and consumers, via their controlling chamber. Yet EU politicians want to do it their way: [...]

Budget support aid: good or bad for development?

Posted by oxfameu on 29/07/11

Before a packed room of ambassadors from developing countries, diplomats, European Commission officials and NGO representatives, an interesting high level panel on the benefits and pitfalls of budget support aid took place in Brussels on 13 July. The event, organised by Oxfam and the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), took place at an opportune time when [...]

Retroaction and ad hoc semi-measures will never solve the Euro crisis

Posted by Protesilaos Stavrou on 29/07/11

Image Source: Der Spiegel A week ago when the EU summit ended and when the final document was publicized I wrote a full analysis of the outcomes of the summit, in which I analyzed the document paragraph by paragraph to explain how the EU had massively failed (again) to address the crisis. From the very [...]

The Imperialist Partition of Libya

Foreign Secretary William Hague expresses the official view of the UK about the Libyan Rebels. Image Source: CNN According to CNN the UK now recognizes the rebel group opposing Moammar Gaddafi as the legitimate government of Libya. “We are dealing with them as if they are the state of Libya and that is how we [...]

Les meilleurs outils de curation d’information et quand les utiliser

Posted by jyhuwart on 27/07/11

Dans un monde d’infobésité, l’information brute, on le sait, n’est plus nécessairement ce qui sert le plus les entreprises. L’avalanche de données et de récits s’avère souvent anxiogène. Nous en avons déjà parlé, une des nouvelles disciplines destinées à sculpter et à façonner l’information afin de lui apporter une valeur très supérieure s’appelle curation.

Reflexiones sobre la masacre en Noruega

Posted by Jesús González on 27/07/11

La sucesión trepidante de acontecimiento noticiosos en un mundo globalizado y con una tremenda accesibilidad a la información en tiempo real, provoca que en muchas ocasiones los sucesos se acumulen sin capacidad de ser analizados en su justa medida. Así sucede que en una yuxtaposición de hechos la mayoría de las veces inconexos nos sacude, [...]

Au cours des discussions portant sur le prochain cadre budgétaire de l’UE pour la période 2014-2020, la Commission européenne a proposé l’adoption d’un programme général incluant l’éducation, la formation et la jeunesse (“Education Europe”) doté de 15,2 milliards d’euros, incluant pour la première fois un sous-programme Sport.

Austerity confuses virtue with vice

Posted by Protesilaos Stavrou on 27/07/11

Protests in Syntagma Square, Athens. Image Source: CNBC The second rescue plan for Greece that was decided on the latest EU summit has many flaws which I explained in detail in a previous article. To remind you though of the main failure of the the new plan, it fails to understand the very structure of [...]

Mustafa Kutlay: “Is Turkey turning its back on the EU? A response to Mr. Andrew Duff”

Posted by Cem on 26/07/11

I read a few minutes ago that excellent article written by Mustafa Kutlay. Well I read a few interviews and articles about Andrew Duff and I believe that he is a “light” pro-Turkey politician. And that is an euphemism. Here is the article: A long period of silence has been broken in Turkish-European Union relations [...]
