El VI Congreso del Partido Comunista de Cuba (PCC) ha proclamado por boca de su presidente, Raúl Castro, la necesidad imperiosa de los cambios para “preservar el socialismo, no para destruirlo”. Lo dice el máximo mandatario actual de la revolución a los 73 años de edad y lo corrobora su antecesor y hermano, el expresidente Fidel […]

Last week in New Delhi I had talks with politicians, journalists, diplomats and scientists on Indo-European relations. Europe is seen as an example of successful integration! India is looking with great interest towards Europe.

Last week in New Delhi I had talks with politicians, journalists, diplomats and scientists on Indo-European relations. Europe is seen as an example of successful integration! India is looking with great interest towards Europe. Compared with the critical reflections on Europe, published yesterday by the outstanding German philosopher Juergen Habermas Süddeutsche Zeitung, this is a […]
Der Nachbar ist zurück. Im Januar saß ich wie elektrifiziert vor dem Fernseher, habe keine Nachrichtsendung verpasst und habe mit den Tunesiern gefeiert. Im Februar habe ich mit den Ägyptern gebangt und gejubelt. Im März hat mich das Beben, die Welle und das Nukleardesaster in Japan geschockt.
Out of all the countries rocked by revolts and revolutions, one group stands apart. Its members are rich in oil and gas reserves and derive most of their national income not from the taxes levied on their citizens, but from the proceeds obtained from oil and gas exports. This fiscal peculiarity is not restricted to… » read more
It looks very much as if Iceland’s obligation to recompense the UK and the Netherlands for reimbursing depositors following the collapse of Landsbanki in 2008 is headed for years of litigation in the EFTA Court – not good news for those hoping for Iceland’s early EU membership. The question is whether the two creditors will… » read more
It is less than two years since the US Congress was in the middle of a heated debate on climate legislation, including a system for emission trading similar to that of the EU. When President Obama addressed students of the Georgetown University, on a “Blue Print for a secure Energy Future”, on 31 March, he… » read more

Syria will be the most repressive regime surviving in the Mediterranean after the hoped-for end of the Gaddafi clan. Since 1967 the “Assad Dynasty” has been in control of the country. An all-pervasive secret police and a powerful army have been able to impose “stability” ever since the Hama massacre in 1982.
Turkey is the sixth biggest economy of the EU. A reminder: according to a report written by Kemal Derviş and some of his colleagues that dates back to 2004, Turkey will be the fifth economy of the EU in 2020.
El próximo 10 de abril se celebran elecciones presidenciales en Perú en su primera vuelta que previsiblemente, dada la notable dispersión de candidatos tanto en la izquierda como en la derecha, deberán dar paso a unos comicios en segunda vuelta en el mes de julio.
UN Resolution no.1973 authorising the humanitarian intervention in Libya could rightly be considered as one of the Security Council’s most important decisions to date. It came at a crucial moment in the multilateral organisation’s history, when the UN’s very existence was threatened by US unilateralism, as advocated by a cohort of American IR experts led… » read more

Should European fighter aircraft be bombing and strafing tanks and killing soldiers across the EU’s southern borders? Is there a better way, a way to peace? Can Europe’s greatest success be applied across North Africa? The greatest event in recent European history — perhaps in all of European history over the last recorded two thousand… » read more

Die Büchse der Pandora der Libyen-Krise ist geöffnet worden. Es wird jetzt unwiderruflich ein verwirrender und schmerzhafter Prozess sein, egal ob die Krise mit dem Sturz Gaddafis oder der Teilung Libyens endet.
