Three weeks after Paris attacks, Europe is still in shock. 130 civilians are dead, sending a very clear message not only to French citizens, but to every European: ‘you are not safe at home’. For 70 years, no war has broken out in the EU’s territory and Europeans naturally want to keep this secure and… » read more

I do not want to write this article, or I should say that I do not want to have to write this article. I wish there wasn’t occasion to write again on another terrorist attack in France. I want to take this opportunity to think out-loud and reflect on this horrible event and my thoughts… » read more

Guest blog post by Richard van Tongeren, Interim-manager. The last couple of years there is a lot to do about the survival of the EURO in it’s present form. However, I haven’t seen any article or discussion about the IT or organizational problems if the EURO would collapse. What are the challenges if… » read more

Guest blog post by Andrew Roberts, freelance investigative journalist, part-time political observer of the European Union. People continue to wonder what all of these politicians are doing in Brussels throughout the year… You would be surprised at how many laws and regulations being created and passed that you have never heard of…and yes, a lot… » read more

The European Court of Justice has invalidated the Safe Harbor. I think there are good legal, economic, data protection, and political grounds to question the wisdom of this judgment. I think that the legal case against the Safe Harbor is pretty weak, both with regard to the powers of national data protection authorities (DPAs), and… » read more

China has spooked investors. What has been happening on financial markets for over a month, since the speculative bubble burst in Shanghai, is reminiscent of the onset of the great recession in 2008-2009, especially when coupled with the decline in crude oil prices, which is widely perceived as a harbinger of recession. The standard explanation… » read more

The world is in a state of rapid change. It is not a sense of irony to say this has always been the case for the lifetimes of much of everyone living today. Constant upheaval may be the recipe for European modernity, and our societies are based in the act of replacing old with new.… » read more

Faced with the brunt of asylum applications made in Europe this year and increasingly violent far-right reactions to newcomers, Germany has called for front-line migrant registration centres in Italy and Greece and a more even distribution of refugees across the EU. Such demands are understandable, but fail to consider the needs, motivations and tactics of… » read more
Few economic phenomena attract as much attention in Poland as fuel prices. This is not surprising, considering that an average household owns at least one passenger car, and the share of fuels in total consumer spending has long surpassed 5%, which is more or less the same we spend on healthcare, appliances and running our… » read more

The Middle East has become a horrible burning ground, but the European Union remains fixated on the conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis, and an imagined “Middle East Peace Process” (MEPP). In European foreign ministries, the mythologies of the 1970s remain unchallenged, perhaps because dealing with the real threats to Europe from… » read more

Der Cannabis, auch bekannt als Marihuana, wurde nicht erst in den 1960ern erfunden. Er existiert bereits seit wenigstens 10.000 Jahren. Er war genauso verbreitet wie heute. Und die meiste Zeit war er sogar legal. Cannabis war zuletzt lange Zeit gesetzlich verboten, und nun scheint es eine weltweite Kampagne zu geben, um ihn wieder zu legalisieren.… » read more

Un an après que Michael Brown, le jeune de 18 ans non armé, ait été abattu par un officier de police à Ferguson, Missouri, la ville est à nouveau dans la tourmente. Beaucoup de choses se sont passées depuis l’homicide de Brown l’année dernière. Aujourd’hui, l’Amérique n’est plus ce qu’elle était l’an passé. La mort… » read more

If one thing the critics and the advocates of the EU can agree on is that more integration is needed, if the EU is going to survive. That seems like a sign of poor tidings for keeping Britain in the EU. So, let’s run with a hypothetical. Hypothetically, let’s say that Hollande’s proposals go forward… » read more
