 <title> WHO expert panel paves way for strong international governance on human genome editing</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41922&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The World Health Organization’s new advisory committee on developing global standards for governance and oversight of human genome editing has agreed to work towards a strong international governance framework in this area. oeGene editing holds incredible promise for health, but it also poses some risks, both ethically and medically. This committee is a perfect example of WHO’s leadership, by bringing together some of the world’s leading experts to provide guidance on this complex issue. I am grateful to each member of the Expert Advisory Committee for their time and expertise.” says Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General.</description>

 <title> Neo-fascism: a worldwide wave</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41907&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Fascism is an extreme derivative of fundamentalism, with a long tradition in almost every culture. In his 1996 controversial work, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of the World Order, Samuel P. Huntington denounces the West as home to the most virulent fundamentalists. They imagine that their culture is the best in the world, that their religion is the best, the one and only true religion, that theirs is the best form of government, democracy, with the best techno-science, that has changed the face of the planet, and with its lethal weapons, it has given humans the ability to destroy humanity and much of the biosphere.

 <title> We are all climate refugees now</title>

 <description>Modern humans, born into one climate era, called the Holocene, have crossed the border into another, the Anthropocene. But instead of a Moses guiding humanity in this new and dangerous wilderness, a gang of science deniers and polluters currently misguides humanity to ever-greater danger. We are all climate refugees now and must chart a path to safety. </description>

 <title> How Montenegro could start World War III</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41857&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Reading the news following US president Donald Trump’s latest passage through Europe the message was clear: it had been a bad week for the international order.[...]
To top it off, Trump gave an interview to Fox News’ Tucker Carlson in which he used the unlikely example of Montenegro to claim that NATO is not only a flimsy excuse for a military alliance, but downright dangerous to the US. oeMontenegro is a tiny country with very strong people.”</description>

 <title> Europe for Itself</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41847&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>As US President Donald Trump continues to wage war on the American-led international order, Europeans can no longer assume that their interests are synonymous with those of the US. The time has come for the European Union to redefine its interests, and to develop a new strategy for defending them.</description>

 <title> Elected leaders are making the world less democratic</title>
 <link>http://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-democracy-decline/?</link>
 <description>Lately, voters in established democracies seem eager to shake things up.
Brexit revealed underlying cracks in the European Union. An anti-immigration backlash led to a wave of right-wing populist victories in Europe. And U.S. voters elected President Donald Trump, who has lavished praise on several strongmen leaders. Last week, he sided with Russia President Vladimir Putin over the U.S. intelligence community (he later said he misspoke"and then walked back his walk-back).
On the surface, these shifts in governments show precisely what a functioning democracy is capable of"voters dictate what they want at the ballot box.
But not all elections are equal.</description>

 <title> Who owns the moon? A space lawyer answers</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41837&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Most likely, this is the best-known picture of a flag ever taken: Buzz Aldrin standing next to the first U.S. flag planted on the Moon. For those who knew their world history, it also rang some alarm bells. Only less than a century ago, back on Earth, planting a national flag in another part of the world still amounted to claiming that territory for the fatherland. Did the Stars and Stripes on the moon signify the establishment of an American colony?</description>

 <title> Trump's Putin summit: a slippery slope to a violent, darker world</title>

 <description>Foreign policy often moves slowly, with ramifications only visible months or years later: when the US assisted the South Vietnam government in the 1950s, few could see the 58,000 American military dead in the Vietnam war; as the US helped overthrow the democratically elected leader of Iran in 1953, it was difficult to see the 1979 revolution that resulted in a dictatorship that would become America’s main enemy in the Middle East; and too few officials saw that invading Iraq in 2003 would blow up the entire Middle East.</description>

 <title> What is the purpose of the declaration on peasants’ rights?</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41806&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>After more than five years of intensive work, the Declaration on the Rights of Peasants will be adopted this year by the United Nations. This indispensable instrument can thenceforth be used by rural populations to assert their rights and by authorities to implement ad hoc policies. Melik -zden, Director of thee CETIM, explains how the Declaration on the Rights of Peasants will change the future of millions of people around the world.</description>

 <title> We need a food revolution</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41799&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The Earth is 45 million centuries old, but our century is unique, because it is the first in which a species could destroy the entire basis of its own existence. Yet we latter-day Easter Islanders seem unaware of this existential threat, preferring to build statues rather than sustainable systems for survival.
Will we acknowledge our predicament only when our land becomes a desert, when our health systems collapse under the strain, when even the wealthy are facing food shortages, when freshwater becomes scarce, and when our national shorelines are breached? </description>

 <title> A gender-specific approach to counter-terrorism</title>
 <link>http://www.ipsnews.net/2018/07/gender-specific-approach-counter-terrorism/</link>
 <description>Understanding the different way that terrorists target women and how to prevent their recruitment could play a significant role in counter-terrorism efforts, and is gaining increased recognition among the international community.
oeAny prevention programme should be fully mindful about its gender implications, and should be tailored toward understanding men and women’s grievances being exploited by recruiters,” Mattias Sundholm, communications adviser to the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate, told IPS.</description>

 <title> G20 countries risk falling short of achieving Sustainable Development Goals</title>

 <description>High income countries are falling short of the goals set three years ago by the United Natons, with Scandinavian countries a notable exception. EURACTIV.fr reports.
Three years after the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by UN member states, the Bertelsmann Foundation and the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDNS) paint a mixed picture of the progress made so far in their annual assessment.</description>

 <title> How can we retain the benefits of globalization?</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41763&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>In the last few years, for many people and their leaders, globalization has become a scourge to be purged in favor of greater protectionism and unilateralism. This represents a sharp departure from the recent past, when globalization was widely regarded as a positive force. What changed, and why?</description>

 <title> Does international cooperation require shared values?</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41754&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Between escalating trade disputes and the divisions at the G7’s summit this month, the breakdown of global governance has become starkly apparent. The United States can no longer be counted on to uphold, much less enforce, existing rules, and countries more broadly cannot be assumed to agree on, much less adhere to, a common set of norms. Does this mean the rules-based world order is doomed?

 <title> The ceasefire is essential – but what should happen next for peace in Afghanistan?</title>
 <link>http://www.opendemocracy.net/alexander-ramsbotham/ceasefire-is-essential-but-what-should-happen-next-for-peace-in-afghanistan</link>
 <description>Afghanistan is at a crossroads facing two possible futures: indefinite violent conflict, or gradual progress towards sustainable peace.
Choices made now over strategy, tactics and resources can tip the balance either way. The recent declaration of a temporary ceasefire by both the Afghan Government, and, for the first time since they were ousted from power in 2001, the Taliban, could be a first step on an incremental journey towards peace. But what should happen next and how can this gradual progress towards peace be supported?</description>

 <title> A crisis of ethical leadership</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41752&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>After World War II, the world " led by the US and Europe " reassessed international norms and institutions, and created the pillars of today’s rules-based global order. A similar reassessment is needed today, perhaps shaped by two major crises of our times: migration and international terror. But Trump’s self-serving oeAmerica First” approach is no way forward. Nor can Russia or China be trusted to defend human rights. At a time when the EU lacks the confidence and coherence to reclaim its values and champion them globally, who will?</description>

 <title> Trade wars and the clash of perceptions</title>
 <link>http://www.theglobalist.com/united-states-protectionism-trade-wto/</link>
 <description>When China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, it was still a developing country. More than 15 years later, its circumstances have changed and it has turned into the world’s second-largest economy.
The WTO has served not to discipline China, which is what Trump (and to some extent the EU, albeit more discreetly) now seeks, but rather to give it global thrust. Trump wants to stop China overtaking the United States technologically. Underlying the trade war unleashed by the current U.S. President, there is a clash of perceptions. </description>

 <title> Misuse of opioids such as tramadol and fentanyl is 'global epidemic', report finds</title>
 <link>http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2018/jun/27/misuse-opioids-tramadol-fentanyl-global-epidemic</link>
 <description>The misuse of pharmaceutical opioids is fast becoming a oeglobal epidemic”, with the largest quantities being seized in African countries for the second year in a row, according to a UN report.
While huge attention has been paid to the opioid crisis in the US " where the misuse of prescription drugs like fentanyl dominates " figures released by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has revealed seizures in Africa of opioids now account for 87% of the global total.</description>

 <title> The Directors of democracy</title>

 <description>Liberal democracy was supposed to be the end of history, remember? The last political product you’d ever need to buy because it’s so convincingly good. But just look at it now. In most countries it works at half cock, being undermined by mass abstention and populism; or else its existence is threatened by oligarchs and autocrats who see it as a useful means to legitimise their regimes. </description>

 <title> The Anatomy of Global Debt</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41719&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>At the end of May, the International Monetary Fund launched its new Global Debt Database. For the first time, IMF statisticians have compiled a comprehensive set of calculations of both public and private debt, country by country, constructing a time series stretching back to the end of World War II. It is an impressive piece of work.
The headline figure is striking. Global debt has hit a new high of 225% of world GDP, exceeding the previous record of 213% in 2009. So, as the IMF points out, there has been no deleveraging at all at the global level since the 2007-2008 financial crisis. In some countries, the composition of debt changed, as public debt replaced private debt in the post-crisis recession, but that shift has now mostly stopped.</description>

The past four years were the hottest since records began.

 <title> Food sustainability, migration, nutrition and women</title>
 <link>http://www.ipsnews.net/2018/06/food-sustainability-migration-nutrition-women/</link>
 <description>We worry about eating properly, and yet in many countries , poor nutrition, obesity and micronutrient deficiencies are increasingly common. This trend is taking place in the Americas, Oceania, Asia, Africa and in Europe. 
We want to empower women and girls, yet in every sector we still see serious disparities in terms of equal pay for equal wages and getting more women into senior management positions. We worry about the mass movement of people, many of them disenfranchised, and yet fail to stop the exploitation and even death that too often awaits those who try to migrate.</description>

 <title> Why markets and political scientists disagree on the G7</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41713&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>To say that this month’s summit of G7 leaders in Canada was an unusual one would be an understatement. A traditionally friendly and predictable gathering of like-minded countries was marred by finger-pointing and disagreement, resulting in an inability to achieve consensus on a final communiqué. But, while political analysts were quick to declare the end of the G7’s coherence, integrity, and usefulness, markets were unfazed.</description>

 <description>oeEverybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office,” Trump tweeted. oeThere is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea.” He subsequently told reporters, oeI have solved that problem.” There is only one catch: what Trump claimed was untrue. The nuclear threat posed by North Korea remains undiminished. The joint statement issued by the two leaders was as brief " just 391 words " as it was vague.</description>

 <title> For ‘Aquarius’ migrants, going to Spain is either paradise or punishment</title>
 <link>http://politica.elpais.com/politica/2018/06/12/actualidad/1528827269_774477.html</link>
 <description>oeWe are so happy. We’re not going back to Libya! We are going to a land of freedom: freedom of expression, freedom of movement, a place with the right to education!” exclaimed an exultant 26-year-old from Sierra Leone named Moses, when he learned that he was being taken to Spain.
But the disclosure that Spain’s new Socialist Party (PSOE) government is taking in the 629 migrants that Italy and Malta turned away does not mean the same thing to all the people aboard the Aquarius. The first reaction was subdued: everyone sat still and scanned the crowd with their eyes, as if to gauge by other migrants’ reaction whether this was good news or bad news.</description>

 <title> Madmen in Authority</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41642&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>With concerns about Italy's public debt growing, Italian populists have taken a page from US President Donald Trump's playbook and threatened to blow up the eurozone if they don't get their way. The European Union must resist the temptation to engage in a dangerous game of chicken. (...) Yet even without prescriptive theories, feigning oefrenzy” or madness can also be a plausible, powerful, and rather contagious negotiating strategy. In the early 1970s, US President Richard Nixon adopted the tactic to convince the North Vietnamese that he had his finger on the oenuclear button,” and that they had better negotiate a deal to end the war " or else. </description>

 <title> How far can Europe push back its borders? The case of France in Niger</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41618&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Migration control is now oehigh politics” in Europe and a priority for the EU. For example, on May 2, 2018, the European Commission proposed that the budget for the management of external borders, migration and asylum " set at 13 billion euros for the period 2014-2020 " be raised to 34.9 billion euros. 
The main goal is to stem migration flows by displacing the border as far as possible from EU territory. In this context, it may be worthwhile to analyse the initiatives of the new French president, Emmanuel Macron, who has vowed to weigh on EU decisions. What solutions does he propose and how can we assess them?</description>

 <title> Killings in Gaza, new embassy in Jerusalem, and peace as distant as ever</title>

 <description>Across the Gaza Strip on Monday morning, loudspeakers on minarets urged Palestinians to rush the fence bordering Israel, where they were met by army snipers. At least 60 were killed and thousands injured, local officials said " the worst day of carnage there since Israel invaded Gaza in 2014.
Hours later, a beaming Ivanka Trump helped unveil a stone marker etched with her father’s name on the new American Embassy in Jerusalem, keeping his campaign promise to officially acknowledge Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.</description>

 <title> Peace Comes to Korea: Let’s Understand Why</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41568&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>When peace shows its face, and weapons companies’ stocks plummet, we have to do more than just cheer. We have to avoid misunderstanding where peace comes from. We have to recognize the forces that want to destroy it. We have to work to make it last and expand.
There’s something very twisted about the belief that the primary cause of tension between the United States and North Korea is what has reduced tension there. On a personal scale I think we could grasp this. If you yell insults and threats across the street at someone and they return the favor, and this carries on until a third party intervenes and proposes resolving the conflict, you can’t then proclaim that the person you were yelling at finally gave in and shut up because you yelled loudly enough.</description>

 <title> Lebanonʹs rubbish crisis and youth protests
"If not us, then who?"</title>
 <link>http://en.qantara.de/content/lebanons-rubbish-crisis-and-youth-protests-if-not-us-then-who?nopaging=1</link>
 <description>Something remarkable has begun in Beirut. Massive government mismanagement and the attendant rubbish crisis two years ago inspired and galvanised Lebanese youth to demand more of their government and to hold their leaders accountable. It all began with the closure of the Naameh landfill, which was over-capacity. Kareem Chehayeb recalls the protests.
Although politicians knew for years that the Naameh landfill was to eventually be closed, they were never able to come up with a sustainable, long-term waste management plan for Lebanonʹs capital. And with Naameh closed and no place else to put Beirutʹs trash, the corporation that handles Beirutʹs trash ceased collection.
Within 24 hours, sidewalks were blocked and within days, cars couldnʹt drive through some streets because they were choked with rubbish. Had the government taken action?</description>

 <title> A new investigative report turns the spotlight onto the escalating trade in Asian elephant skin</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41561&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>New evidence gathered in Myanmar and China by the UK-based conservation charity Elephant Family, has revealed an alarming escalation in the illegal trade in Asian elephant skin. The new report - ‘Skinned " The Growing Appetite for Asian Elephants’ - exposes the rise in poaching to feed a developing form of transnational wildlife crime, and those who are trading, promoting and profiting from elephant skin products. Following the trade chain from the forests of Myanmar into China, the report highlights worrying evidence indicating that skin products are being licensed for pharmaceutical use.

 <description>The Nicaraguan government appears to have engaged in serious abuses against protesters and arbitrarily shut down media outlets covering the recent protests, Human Rights Watch said today. Organization of American States (OAS) member countries should urge President Daniel Ortega’s government to allow the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights (IACHR), the main rights body in the Americas, to visit the country and investigate the allegations of abuse.</description>

 <title> What is the Windrush scandal? How the Windrush generation got their name and why many fear deportation</title>
 <link>http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/what-windrush-scandal-how-windrush-12383743</link>
 <description>When the ship the Empire Windrush docked in Tilbury in 1948 it sparked an influx of migrants from the Caribbean and now the Government is facing an outcry over fears some of them may have been deported "in error".
The eruption of the Windrush scandal, as it has become known, has sparked a fierce national debate over immigration and the status of those who arrived from the Caribbean before 1973.</description>

 <title> The danger of machines learning to kill by themselves</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41528&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>It stands for LAWS. These are the lethal autonomous weapon systems, also called killer robots. Far from being futuristic hallucinations of science fiction writers, they constitute one of the nuclei of the current arms race.
The US is conducting an aggressive plan to develop different types of semi-autonomous and autonomous weaponry, conducting both basic and applied research. Among the central aspects are the improvement of perception, reasoning and intelligence of machines but also the collaborative interactions between machines and humans.
As an example, one of the main programs " conducted by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) " is OFFSET (OFFensive Swarm-Enabled Tactics), which aims at the integration of drone smart drones with ground robots and small infantry units to operate in urban contexts.

 <title> Facebook’s expanding lobbying in Brussels</title>

 <description>Facebook has been intensifying its lobbying efforts within European institutions since 2013.
Facebook is a regular subject of controversies connected to the use of data shared by its users " in 2013, for example, after the revelations of Edward Snowden, or more recently with the Cambridge Analytica affair. As a consequence, the company has been trying its best to polish its image and reassure both the public and institutions. To this end, it has formed a network to amplify its influence in Washington as well as in Brussels.</description>

 <title> Yes, the Italian elections prove that populism is not going away anytime soon</title>
 <link>http://gefira.org/de/2018/03/06/wahlen-in-italien-populismus-im-aufmarsch/</link>
 <description>2016: Brexit and Trump, oeA new hope”.

2017: Macron, oeThe Empire Strikes back”.

2018: Di Maio and Salvini, oeThe Return of the Jedi”.

The titles of the original Star Wars trilogy fit the wind of change sweeping through politics. The Western leadership has forsaken its citizens, pursuing the dreams of a global empire; its main victims were its supporters, the moderates, the centrists, the Western middle class,1)who crashed under the weight of globalization in the forms of tax havens, mass migration, off-shoring, and global wars. The 2018 Italian elections are a reminder that the political upheaval, superficially snubbed as oepopulism” by an increasingly delusional globalist elite, is here to stay.

The oepopulist” triumph: the anger of the Italian youth

Movimento 5 Stelle and Lega are Italy’s anti-establishment parties. They were expected to pick up 27-28% and 13-15% respectively. They both exceeded polls predictions. M5S will likely pick 31%, while Lega 18.5%, beating its coalition rival and mainstream party Forza Italia of Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian forerunner of Donald Trump, which now garnered a meagre 13.6%.</description>

 <title> How Trump is helping to save our democracy</title>
 <link>http://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/how-trump-is-helping-to-save-our-democracy/2017/09/22/539b795e-9a1f-11e7-82e4-f1076f6d6152_story.html?utm_term=.783b8a2480ef</link>
 <description>The election of Donald Trump could be one of the best things that ever happened to American democracy.

We say this even though we believe that Trump poses a genuine danger to our republican institutions and has done enormous damage to our country. He has violated political norms, weakened our standing in the world and deepened the divisions of an already sharply torn nation.

But precisely because the Trump threat is so profound, he has jolted much of the country to face problems that have been slowly eroding our democracy. And he has aroused a popular mobilization that may far outlast him. 

Many of the trends that led to Trump’s election have been with us for years; he has created a crisis by pushing them to their alarming endpoints. Political norms, for example, have been decaying for decades, but Trump has eschewed norms altogether. One reading is that there will be no going back from the diminished public life he has created, and it’s certainly true that the breaching of norms often produces a cascading effect: Behavior previously considered inappropriate is normalized and taken up by others. Yet Trump’s sheer disregard for the normal practices and principles of presidential behavior has cast a spotlight on the vital role that norms play in regulating and protecting our democracy. Only when norms disappear are we reminded of how important they were in the first place.</description>

 <title> The Who, Where, and When of Secession</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41369&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>This week, Kurds in northern Iraq voted overwhelmingly in favor of independence for the country’s Kurdistan Region. With some 30 million Kurds divided among four states (Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Iran), nationalists argue that they deserve the world’s recognition. In Spain, some 7.5 million Catalans have raised the same question.

Does it matter that polls show Catalans, unlike Kurds, to be closely divided on the issue? Does it matter that the states bordering Iraqi Kurdistan might use force to resist secession?</description>

 <title> The United Nations Counter-Terrorism Complex: Bureaucracy, Political Influence, Civil Liberties</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41365&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>In a new report released today, the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) describes how the effectiveness of the United Nations (UN) and its member states in the fight against terrorism is hampered by two major phenomena. First, a tentacular bureaucratic structure in which entities’ mandates sometimes overlap rather than complement each other which ultimately undermines its overall effectiveness and key cooperation between states. Secondly, the current leadership of the main counter-terrorism bodies is in the hands of member-states, whose human rights records are highly questionable. Those same states use their powerful position in the architecture to advance specific political agendas at home and abroad, often devastating for civil liberties. These consequences can be far-reaching and have been found to fuel more hate and feed into the terrorists’ narratives. </description>

 <title> What the crisis in Venezuela tells us about Populism in today’s time</title>
 <link>http://thewire.in/171850/venezuela-crisis-populism/</link>
 <description>The Oxford Dictionary of Sociology defines populism as any political movement which seeks to mobilise the people against a state which is too powerful or controlled by vested interests. Too often, states have been captured by populists towards furthering a particular set of interests in the garb of the interests of the people. In this sense, no democracy is complete with its quota of populism. Indian democracy is no exception. Populists have become the ruling strata in many countries with nationalist-populist, ethnic-populist, racist-populist and masculine-populist with high degree of xenophobia and anti-immigrant rhetoric buttressing the stance. Populists have attacked institutions that have come in their way. They have made votes work in their favour because they know how to rouse frenzy on issues and mobilise the votes.</description>

 <title> The curse of religiosity</title>
 <link>http://en.qantara.de/content/islam-in-the-middle-east-the-curse-of-religiosity</link>
 <description>Daesh did not emerge in a vacuum; rather, it is the product of a culture of social, religious and political control that has governed the public arena for the last fifty years or so. It developed amid a climate of swift decline brought about by the failure of the state in the Arab region, combined with non-stop wars and military interventions from outside. 

The main contributing factor has been a conservative religious and social culture which hijacked mosques, schools and the media, establishing a strict religious regime for determining right and wrong in the process. This regime thus decides how an individual is regarded by society; indeed, the status and respect which he, or indeed, she commands is dictated by religious and devotional hierarchies and priorities. Focusing on this is not intended to detract from the considerable influence of other factors, specifically the failure of the state and the interference of foreign powers, but the constraints of this piece do not allow for a discussion of every aspect.</description>

 <title> India: The In-Between Great Power</title>
 <link>http://iwallerstein.com/india-the-in-between-great-power/</link>
 <description>I have the impression that, of all the oegreat powers” in the contemporary world-system, however one defines oegreat power,” India is the one that receives the least attention. I admit that this has been true of me, but it is true as well of the majority of geopolitical analysts.

Why should this be? India after all is rapidly approaching the point where it will have the world’s largest population. It is respectably high on most measures of economic strength and improving all the time. It is a nuclear power and has one of the world’s largest armed forces. It is a member of the G20 which is the imprimatur of being a great power. However, it is not a member of the G7, which is a far more restricted group and a far more important one.</description>

 <description>But the adoption of the Oceans SDG is just a first step: the challenge now is to ensure its implementation"which is all the more urgent as many of its associated targets (sustainably managing and protecting marine and coastal ecosystems, ending overfishing, conserving at least 10% of coastal and marine areas, etc.) are to be achieved by 2020. These issues will be central to the United Nations Conference to be held in New York from 5 to 9 June 2017. This event, initiated by Fiji and Sweden, will bring together hundreds of people, representatives of states, international organisations, research centres, foundations, donors, NGOs and the private sector"all concerned by the future of the marine environment.</description>

 <title> Mega-Projects have magnified corruption in Brazil</title>
 <link>http://www.ipsnoticias.net/2017/05/los-megaproyectos-ahondaron-la-corrupcion-en-brasil/</link>
 <description>It cannot be categorically stated that corruption has increased in the country in recent years, because there is no objective information from earlier periods to compare with, according to Manoel Galdino, executive director of Transparency Brazil.

But recent revelations give the impression of a drastic increase in corruption, involving unprecedented amounts of money, nearly the entire political leadership of the country, and numerous state-run and private companies.

The Odebrecht conglomerate, led by Brazil’s biggest construction company, admitted to having paid 3.39 billion dollars in bribes to politicians between 2006 and 2014.</description>

 <description>The Trump administration’s executive order on travel, scheduled for federal appeals court review on Monday, would harm both immigrants and US citizens if allowed to enter into effect, warns Amnesty International in a briefing paper released today.

oePresident Trump’s travel ban order separated families and sent a message of bigotry and intolerance,” said Joanne Mariner, Senior Crisis Response Adviser at Amnesty International. oeThis harmful and discriminatory ban deserves the most probing judicial scrutiny.”</description>

 <description>Despite their different political affiliations and ideologies, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, former Brazilian President Lula da Silva, and former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo have one rather damning connection: their futures are tied to the construction company responsible for the biggest corruption scandal in history.

Just months after becoming the world’s newest Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Santos received last week the questionnaire from the National Electoral Council (CNE) to respond to allegations that he received illegal campaign funds from Brazil’s Odebrecht. </description>

 <title> Global Left vs. Global Right:
From 1945 to Today</title>
 <link>http://iwallerstein.com/global-left-vs-global-right-from-1945-to-today/</link>
 <description>So, where are we? The economic conservatives first won out and then lost strength. The succeeding socio-cultural conservatives first won out and then lost strength. Yet the Global Left seems nonetheless to flounder. This is because they have not yet been willing to accept that the struggle between the Global Left and the Global Right is a class struggle and that this should be made explicit.

In the ongoing structural crisis of the modern world-system, which began in the 1970s and will probably last another 20-40 years, the issue is not the reform of capitalism, but its successor system. If the Global Left is to win that battle, it must solidly ally the anti-austerity forces with the multicultural forces. Only recognizing that both groups represent the same bottom 80% of the world’s population makes it likely that they can win out. They need to struggle against the top 1% and seek to attract the other 19% to their side. That is exactly what one means by a class struggle.</description>

 <title> America, From Exceptionalism to Nihilism</title>
 <link>http://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/28/opinion/america-from-exceptionalism-to-nihilism.html?_r=1</link>
 <description>oeThe world is going America’s way,” Fareed Zakaria wrote in 2008. oeCountries are becoming more open, market friendly and democratic.” Since the fall of communism, American leaders in politics, business and journalism have repeatedly broadcast the conceit that we live, or will soon live, in the best of all possible worlds. Not even 9/11, the bloody stalemates in Iraq and Afghanistan or the worst economic crisis since the Depression challenged faith in a benignly Americanized world. Barack Obama declared last year that oeif you had to choose any time in the course of human history to be alive, you’d choose this one. Right here in America, right now.”

What finally shattered such Panglossian notions was the demagogue on the campaign trail last year who ranted, credibly to many, about oeAmerican carnage.” It took the rise of Donald J. Trump in a harshly polarized country to shatter the belief that, as the critic Philip Rahv wrote in the early 1950s, the United States oeis in its very nature immune to tragic social conflicts and collisions.”</description>

 <title> Copts of Egypt: more than political pawns for ISIS and el-Sisi </title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41122&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>One explanation links the increasing violence of Islamist groups with the downfall of the Muslim Brotherhood and the dim prospects of instating a system of Islamic-inspired governance in Egypt. For example, Hassan Abu Haniya, a Jordanian expert in jihadist movements, has recently suggested that, since 2013, oemore groups and individuals that would not ideologically side with jihadists are believing the peaceful path is over.”

Along similar lines is a view that attributes the endurance of Islamist militancy in Egypt’s Sinai peninsula to the repression of non-violent expression and popular mobilisation.

But this narrative " folding the attacks on Copts into a broader story of political resistance to the demise of the Muslim Brotherhood-led government, and the instatement of an authoritarian regime " must be unpacked. It is a popular opinion, that the violence is reactive: a response to limits on more peaceful forms of political expression. The truth is more complex. </description>

 <title> Mendacious diplomacy</title>
 <link>http://en.qantara.de/content/the-syrian-conflict-mendacious-diplomacy?nopaging=1</link>
 <description>In the absence of any respect for previous commitments or any clear international assurances, when the legal and political framework is so ambiguous and Russia is imposing diktats, it was only natural that the negotiations in Astana and Geneva should turn out to be manoeuvrings, the main purpose of which was to weaken the position of the opposition and secure the positions of the regime and its allies.

So instead of giving Syrians new hope that a political solution that meets their minimum aspirations can be reached, this round of sterile negotiations has added to their frustration. Scepticism is deepening that future negotiations in Astana or Geneva can ever produce the results Syrians are waiting for: an end to the war of aggression and the beginning of a real transition process, preparing for a new Syria where peace, brotherhood, justice and democracy ultimately prevail.</description>

 <title> Reza Aslan: ‘Trump is looking for trouble with Iran’</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41067&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The world was surprised by the travel ban that President Trump proclaimed for inhabitants or citizens of seven mostly Islamic countries. This is, however, only the first step of a much larger strategy, according to Reza Aslan, the famous Iranian-American author and TV-maker. He hopes that by 2018, the current protests will bring about a renewed Democratic party, needed to begin an impeachment procedure.</description>

 <title> Scorn wars: rural white people and us </title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41008&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>After living in the coastal cities of America for all of my life, I met rural white people for the first time in 1995. They were my sociology students at the University of Wisconsin, and I had assigned them the usual fare, heavy on the causes and consequences of urban poverty and racism. These students bristled, saying that their problems were just as bad. I was sure they must be wrong, of course: even if they were poor, they still had white privilege.

But they persisted. They described empty towns without jobs from which everyone tried to leave as soon as they could; small farmers who worked so hard to compete against agro-businesses that they had to pass up on sleep; and small communities with big drug problems.</description>

 <title> Trump Marks the End of a Cycle</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40942&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>As Henry Kissinger, Secretary of State under presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, once said, oeGlobalisation is another term for U.S. domination.”
This phase ran from 1982 until the financial crisis of 2008, when the collapse of American banks, followed by contagion in Europe, forced the system to question the Washington Consensus as an undisputable theory.
Doubts were also being voiced loudly through the growing mobilisation of civil society /the World Social Forum, for example, had been created in 1981) and by the offensive of many economists who had previously remained in silence.
The latter began insisting that macroeconomics " the preferred instrument of globalisation " looked only at the big figures. If microeconomics was used instead, they argued, it would become clear that there was very unequal distribution of growth (not to be confused with development) and that delocalisation and other measures which ignored the social impact of globalisation, were having disastrous consequences.</description>

 <title> ‘Politics of demonization’ breeding division and fear</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40941&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>oe2016 was the year when the cynical use of ‘us vs them’ narratives of blame, hate and fear took on a global prominence to a level not seen since the 1930s. Too many politicians are answering legitimate economic and security fears with a poisonous and divisive manipulation of identity politics in an attempt to win votes.”
(...)
oeDivisive fear-mongering has become a dangerous force in world affairs. Whether it is Trump, Orban, Erdogan or Duterte, more and more politicians calling themselves anti-establishment are wielding a toxic agenda that hounds, scapegoats and dehumanizes entire groups of people.”</description>

 <title> The ecosystem of an open democracy</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40920&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>For some years now, we have been witnessing the emergence of relational, crossover, participatory power. This is the territory that gives technopolitics its meaning and prominence, the basis on which a new vision of democracy " more open, more direct, more interactive - is being developed and embraced. It is a framework that overcomes the closed architecture on which the praxis of governance - closed, hierarchical, one-way - has been cemented in almost all areas, resulting in high levels of disaffection towards traditional organizations: parties and institutions, unions and non-profit organizations, the media and the universities.

What are the essential elements to understand this new scenario? How are power roles being reshaped? How do technology platforms contribute to this transformation? The answers to these questions are key to understanding this new ecosystem.</description>

 <title> Let’s relaunch European integration!</title>
 <link>http://www.voxeurop.eu/fr/2017/60-me-anniversaire-du-trait-de-rome-5120698</link>
 <description>As the anniversary of the signature of the EU's founding treaties is approaching, a group of over 300 European academics and personalities are endorsing this appeal to relaunch European integration and inviting civil society, academia, young people and citizens to participate to the March for Europe in Rome on March 25. 
25 March 2017 is the day of the 60th anniversary of the Rome Treaties which have made the EU project the most successful experiment of peace and integration ever.
This date may go down history as yet another self-praising, boring, closed-door party of 27 EU leaders or as the germ of a first conscious, popular and patriotic European manifestation.</description>

 <title> The West's lamentable myopia</title>
 <link>http://en.qantara.de/content/interview-with-syrian-dissident-yassin-al-haj-saleh-the-wests-lamentable-myopia</link>
 <description>Syrian intellectual Yassin al-Haj Saleh was a revolutionary from the very first. He remains harshly critical of all those political observers and experts in the West who claim that there is no alternative to Assad and that shoring up the regime would be the lesser of two evils. [...] 
Al-Haj Saleh: Bashar al-Assad's regime is by no means secular; it is sectarian. When it comes to Muslim-majority countries, many people in the West tend to adopt what I call Huntingtonian secularism, defining secularism in an oversimplified culturalist way as something that is basically against Islam.</description>

 <description>From May to December 2016, an average of 30 Filipinos were brutally murdered every day. The dead included toddlers, teenagers and mothers. Some were shot by the police, others by masked assassins. Populist President Rodrigo Duterte has encouraged the bloodshed.

The death count is currently at 6,000 and still growing. Not one murderer has been brought to justice. Meanwhile, Congress is working on restoring the death penalty and lowering the age of criminal responsibility to nine years. There is talk of allowing security forces to detain people without judicial mandate, changing the constitution and giving the president emergency powers.

 <title> China and the United States: Partners?</title>
 <link>http://agenceglobal.com/2017/01/15/china-and-the-united-states-partners/</link>
 <description>When, in 1945, the United States had definitively defeated its great rival Germany, it was set to assume the role of hegemonic power in the world-system. The only obstacle was the military power of the Soviet Union. The way the United States dealt with this obstacle was to offer the Soviet Union the status of junior partner in the world-system. We refer to this tacit accord as the Yalta arrangements. Both sides denied that there was any deal, and both sides fully implemented it.
The United States dreams of reproducing a Yalta-like arrangement with China. China scoffs at this idea. It considers the days of U.S. hegemony as over, believing that the United States no longer has the economic strength to underpin such a status. It also believes that internal disunity renders the United States impotent in the geopolitical arena. On the contrary, China seeks to impose a Yalta-like arrangement in which the United States would be the junior partner. The closest analogy would be the post-1945 relationship of Great Britain with the United States.</description>

 <title> Russia’s headlong rush into populism </title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40798&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>In his remarkable book, How Russia Sees the West: An Anthology of Russian Thought, from Karamzine to Putin, published last November, Michel Niqueux defined the tenets of the dominant Russian ideology, inspired by Eurasian intellectuals and turned into policies by Putin:
    Anti-West, moral and cultural conservatism, vertical power structure, assertion of military power, definition of a multipolar world as opposed to an unipolar power one headed by the USA, prize of Eurasian unity (Russia, Belorussia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia) after Ukraine’s defection.
Although accurate, this description misses the key element of the ideology that has dominated Russia since 2000: a populism founded on a nihilistic view of the truth, state propaganda and a kleptocratic approach to power.</description>

 <description>Freedom of the press and freedom of assembly in Egypt have practically ceased to exist. Freedom of speech is under massive pressure " even online. Meanwhile the Egyptian regime is continuing its campaign against civil society with a new law featuring unprecedented measures to control and monitor NGOs. [...]
The state has been investigating several NGOs since 2011. Back then, the authorities carried out raids on both a number of international organisations as well as some local NGOs. Parts of that case were settled when the court issued a verdict that criminalised the international organisations.
Since than, the case has switched its focus to local entities, yet it remains committed to trying NGOs for accepting foreign funding. We are accused of receiving donations from abroad for illegal purposes, thereby bringing shame on Egypt.</description>

 <title> Israeli-Palestinian conflict heads for 50 years of UN failure</title>
 <link>http://www.ipsnews.net/2016/12/israeli-palestinian-conflict-heads-for-50-years-of-un-failure/</link>
 <description>Come 2017, the United Nations will mark the 50th anniversary of one of the world’s longstanding unresolved political problems firmly entrenched on the UN agenda: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict dating back to the Six Day War in June 1967.
When Antonio Guterres takes over as the new UN Secretary-General on January 1, he will inherit a rash of ongoing political and military conflicts, including the six-year-old civil war in Syria, the devastating bombings in Yemen, the Shia-Sunni killings in Iraq, the widespread political chaos in Libya, renewed violence in the Central African Republic, the continued atrocities in Darfur and South Sudan and the rise of global terrorism. (...) As Guterres told reporters December 12: oeWe need a surge in diplomacy for peace when we see this multiplication of new conflicts " and old conflicts that seem never to die”.

 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40666&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Is the demise of Renzi really a local affair? There is no doubt that a referendum on a constitutional change can be a matter of confidence in him, having personalized the issue to a point that it became basically a vote on the young Prime Minister. But if you look at the sociology of the vote, you find that the No vote was again coming from the poorest parts of Italy. [...] Voters living in the centre voted Yes, and those in the periphery voted No. Is this not similar to what has happened in Brexit and in the US elections? [...]
This is important. It shows how politicians, even those as brilliant as Renzi, do not realize that there is a tsunami of resentment that has been out there for some years, has been ignored by the establishment, by the media and by politics. Finally, everybody is linking the next elections in the Netherlands in March, in France in May and in Germany in August, as dates when the populist, nationalist and xenophobia tides will rise even more.</description>

The aim of the so-called "migration compacts" with priority countries is to reduce flows of illegal migration by disrupting the business model of smugglers and opening legal channels of migration, increase return rates, and address root causes of irregular migration.</description>

 <description>Many have justifiably drawn parallels with Guernica, including the French ambassador to the United Nations in a poignant speech. Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy’s air forces blasted the Spanish city in 1937, while Franco’s troops attacked on the ground. [...] Many people (myself included) have said, time and time again, that Aleppo and Syria have to be saved, that we have a responsibility to protect, that our militaries need to enforce a no-fly zone (which is still a viable possibility). In short, that intervention is a necessity. [...]  Is it still morally possible for me, for any of us, to say something? And, if so, must it be said with the terrible fear that our indignation is just a pathetic way of allaying our conscience?</description>

 <description>On 19 September 2016 the United Nations (UN) General Assembly collectively, and spectacularly, failed the 21 million refugees of this world. [...] The UN Summit had a reasonable aim: to share responsibility for the world’s refugees among states.

It is also morally bankrupt and intellectually shoddy to fail to face up to reality. </description>

 <description>One year after UN member states adopted the ambitious 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda their repeated vow to oeleave no one behind” seems almost as idealistic and impractical as ever. 2016 has so far proved a difficult year for the UN’s objective of including the world’s most vulnerable and marginalised in development efforts.

 <description>UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein cautioned against optimism, stating: [...]oeThe bitter truth is that this summit was called because we have been largely failing…it is shameful the victims of abominable crimes should be made to suffer further by our failures to give them protection,” 
[...]The initial draft of the Declaration proposed a global compact with clear commitments including resettling 10 percent of the world’s refugees annually and providing refugee children with education within 30 days. Upon negotiations however, this language was stripped in the final document adopted on Monday, ridding states of any obligation to welcome and educate refugees. Additionally, the international community delayed any form of agreement to a Global Compact until 2018.</description>

 <title> Against the abusive invocation of self-defence to face terrorism</title>

 <description>"The international legal order may not be reduced to an interventionist logic similar to that prevailing before the adoption of the United Nations Charter. The purpose of the Charter was to substitute a multilateral system grounded in cooperation and the enhanced role of law and institutions for unilateral military action. It would be tragic if, acting on emotion in the face of terrorism (understandable as this emotion may be), that purpose were lost"</description>

 <title> Our attitude towards wealth played a crucial role in Brexit. We need a rethink </title>
 <link>http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jul/29/stephen-hawking-brexit-wealth-resources</link>
 <description>Does money matter? Does wealth make us rich any more? These might seem like odd questions for a physicist to try to answer, but Britain’s referendum decision is a reminder that everything is connected and that if we wish to understand the fundamental nature of the universe, we’d be very foolish to ignore the role that wealth does and doesn’t play in our society.</description>

 <title> Autocracy or military dictatorship?</title>
 <link>http://en.qantara.de/content/putsch-aftermath-in-turkey-autocracy-or-military-dictatorship</link>
 <description>Turkey and Egypt have one thing in common: in both countries, there has been a military coup against an elected Islamist president. While the coup against Erdogan in Turkey failed, the coup d'etat under the leadership of the former Egyptian military leader and current president, Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, in July 2013 was a success. The military managed to depose President Mohammed Morsi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood who had been in office for just a year and throw him and his associates in jail.
But both countries have another important thing in common. Both are deeply polarised societies in which the role of religion in politics and the state yet to be negotiated.</description>

 <title> Everyone against everyone</title>

 <description>Rather than being concerned with the fate of the Syrian people, the Geneva peace talks mainly focus on the interests of the two superpowers Russia and the US, writes Islam scholar and sociologist Huda Zein
Neither the suffering of the civilian population nor the political goals of the opposition, which are increasingly hamstrung, can be said to be dominating peace talks in Geneva. Yet who is responsible for the current chaotic state of affairs?

 <description>Until recently, like many rural areas of the country, Cherán had experienced a rising tide of violence as unwelcome elements increasingly moved in to exploit its natural resources. [...] The community approached local and municipal authorities on repeated occasions asking for help"all to no avail. Frustrated, several members of the community banded together and, under the leadership of a group of courageous women, they took matters into their own hands.</description>

 <title> France’s Next President</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=39742&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>If opinion polls are to be believed, France’s next president will not be François Hollande or Nicolas Sarkozy, the two most recent holders of the office. Hollande is the incumbent, but his performance has been disappointing on nearly all fronts, especially when it comes to tackling unemployment. Sarkozy’s chances are crippled by his unsavory character.
The impact on Europe has been no less disappointing. Not since the end of François Mitterrand’s term in 1995 has there been a French president that is a match for a German chancellor. The resulting disequilibrium " not enough France, and thus too much Germany " has been one of the major political problems facing the European Union.</description>

The difference between past European statesmen, the likes of Konrad Adenauer, Alcide De Gasperi and Robert Schuman, with a clear vision and ability to communicate to their citizens (like abandoning nationalism for a European dream), are dramatically absent today. </description>

 <title> China’s Illusory Global Leadership</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=39371&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Yet even China’s most favored beneficiaries remain dubious about its model and motives, largely because Chinese aid remains primarily a business proposition. According to a 2013 study by the RAND Corporation, more than 80% of Chinese aid and official financing underwrites raw material extraction and the construction of the roads, bridges, and ports needed to transport these resources to China.
The terms of Chinese aid also differ considerably from those of traditional donors. Assistance from the US, Europe, and Japan comes primarily in the form of grants; by contrast, two-thirds of Chinese aid is issued in the form of loans to finance projects and material, with China’s export-import and development banks and its state-owned enterprises providing the lion’s share of the funds. More than half of these loans also are oetied,” meaning that they must be used for procurement from Chinese companies.

 <title> Strenght through collective action</title>
 <link>http://www.voxeurop.eu/fr/content/article/5015944-la-force-vient-de-l-action-collective</link>
 <description>Why have corruption scandals become so salient in the news? In countries like Brazil, India, Ukraine or the Balkans, many rounds of elections in the past decades have sometimes changed rulers, but never an entrenched system of spoiling public resources that new office winners inherit in full. The Arab spring’s hopes of clearing away corrupt dictators seem to be on the wane " in Iraq, after many years of American administration, corruption remains the number one problem.
And nobody should be beyond suspicion, as the world is mostly corrupt, and few governments and societies are constrained by their societies to stay clean and fair, argues Alina Mungiu-Pippidi, a Berlin based academic, in a brand new book recently released by Cambridge University Press, The Quest for Good Governance. How Societies Build Control of Corruption. Rather than the usual moralising normative approach, her book oscillates from history to social psychology to argue that governance, which she defines as the rules of the game determining who gets what from public resources in a given society, is far more difficult to change than political regimes as it results from a balance of power between a society and its rulers.</description>

 <title> A New Beginning</title>

 <description>It’s true that in the last few years there has been an enormous decline on all fronts and in all areas. The world, Europe and Spain undoubtedly suffer its effects. Our political leaders have surrendered to the rules of the markets and obediently subject our society to oeaustericide.” It is irrelevant that their formulas don’t work and that there’s no end in sight to their budget cuts. Spaniards are now oecheaper” than a majority of the rest of Europeans. With the worsening of our standard of living we are also (paradoxically) more submissive, accepting whatever they impose. But not all of us, because a new type of citizen power is emerging that is so strong that it provokes much fear among members of the oeestablishment.” Perfectly aware of what this means, they are attempting to stop this trend by any and all means at their disposal. </description>

 <title> From Lima to Paris: Towards a new global climate agreement</title>

 <description>The year 2015 will be an inflection point in international climate negotiations. Under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), parties have agreed to seal a new global climate deal by the end of the twenty-first session of the Conference of the Parties (COP), due to be held in Paris, France in December.  The agreement will aim to continue strengthening global action on climate change through mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and adapting to the detrimental impacts of climate change consistent with no more than a two degree Celsius global average temperature rise since before the industrial revolution.</description>

 <description>The G20 may no longer be under Australia’s custodianship, but the show still rolls on. The leaders’ forum will head to Turkey in 2015, and in his final act as G20 chair for 2014, the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott confirmed 2016 will see leaders’ heading for China. The announcement is timely, although the G20 designated itself in 2009 as the ‘premier forum for international economic cooperation’, 2016 will be the first year in which China, the world’s largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity, will bear responsibility for coordinating the process.</description>

 <description>The United Nations Security Council’s membership will be reconstituted in 2015, but it will not look very different from its predecessors. World War II’s victors " the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and China " will continue to hold the box seats, which come with veto power. Five new non-permanent members " New Zealand, Spain, Angola, Malaysia, and Venezuela " will rotate in for a two-year term, replacing Australia, Luxembourg, Rwanda, South Korea, and Argentina, respectively. The remaining five bleacher seats will be occupied for another year by Chad, Chile, Jordan, Lithuania, and Nigeria.

The UN Climate Summit organized by Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon took place two days later with the participation of 100 heads of state and 800 leaders from business. How did this Summit react to the demands of the peoples climate march? Did it meet the expectations?</description>

 <title> Is the "Liberal International Order" Dying?</title>
 <link>http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/the-liberal-international-order-dying-11351</link>
 <description>President Obama’s speech to the United Nations was a spirited defense of the current world order and America’s role within that order. It was an acknowledgement that the liberal internationalist status quo is far from invulnerable and, in fact, is gravely under threat; and a warning that the widening and deepening of international cooperation, peace and security require good intentions and assiduous effort on behalf of nations.  Today’s relatively benign world order is the result of farsighted decision-making by past leaders, Obama told his audience; its maintenance is now the charge of today’s generation.</description>

Only by understanding how it has come to this point can we try to find more viable policy options. Ascribing the roots of the problem solely to the organisation known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) will likely fail to produce correct solutions.</description>

 <description>Federica Mogherini’s appointment as the new European Union foreign policy chief offers an opportunity for an overhaul of EU foreign and security policy. With many EU leaders, ministers and senior officials slow to respond to world events given Europe’s traditionally long summer break, the 2014 summer of death and violence has left the reputation of oeGlobal Europe” in tatters, highlighting the EU’s apparent disconnect from the bleak reality surrounding it. When she takes charge in November along with other members of the new European Commission, led by Jean-Claude Juncker, Mogherini’s first priority must be to restore Europe’s credibility in an increasingly volatile and chaotic global landscape.</description>

 <description>At the VI BRICS Summit, held in the Brazilian city of Fortaleza in July 2014, Brazil, Russia, China, India, and South Africa formally announced the creation of a New Development Bank (NDB) and a Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA). The official documents portrayed both initiatives as complements to the existing financial and economic institutions. However, in the short term, they will promote more autonomy for the developing countries in relation to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank and, in the long term, they might represent the coming into reality of a new set of principles that will guide economic relations among nations in the 21st century.</description>

 <description>The ECB announced on Thursday 4 September, 2014 that it would maintain and extend the measures adopted at the meeting of 5 June, 2014. This is being done at a time when it is clear that the policies the central bank has been applying since the start of the crisis have failed |1|. Italy is in recession: The GDI is down by 0.2% in the second quarter of 2014, after a drop of 0.1% in the preceding quarter |2|. In Portugal, which had supposedly weathered the crisis, the near bankruptcy of the country’s second-largest bank, Banco Espírito Santo (a veritable economic empire given the scale of the country) is an enormous drain on the public treasury, which once again is socialising the losses.</description>

 <title> A modest « Australian » proposal to resolve our geopolitical problems</title>
 <link>http://moderndiplomacy.eu/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=388:a-modest-australian-proposal-to-resolve-our-geo-political-problems&Itemid=671</link>
 <description>There is little doubt that our geo-political problems are becoming more and more intricate and intractable. We presently have on our hands the middle East crisis, the Ukrainian crisis, the Iraq and Syria crisis, the economic crisis of the West, the border crisis between the US and Mexico (with thousands of unaccompanied children from Central America crossing the border), the territory disputes between Japan and China, North and South Korea, the EU-Africa crisis with refugees arriving almost daily in Lampedusa, Italy attempting to get a foot-hold in Europe, and the list goes on and on. The world is indeed a sorry mess.</description>

 <description>For 70 years, a key element of American power has been the dollar’s standing as the world’s premier currency. But Washington’s repeated use of economic sanctions as a foreign policy weapon has encouraged China and other powers to consider financial alternatives, write Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett.</description>

 <description>The current policy conversation about redrawing the Middle East map ignores a long-term problem that must be part of the solution: Iraqi and Syrian refugees. As nearly three million Syrian refugees have sought UN assistance in neighboring states, and more than one million Iraqis have fled this year, the international community must act now to avoid a greater security crisis.</description>

 <title> Massive Open Online Classes and International Learning</title>
 <link>http://www.e-ir.info/2014/07/26/massive-open-online-classes-and-international-learning/</link>
 <description>Change, some of it potentially disruptive, has come to American higher education in a very visible way in recent years. Technology promises to expand the reach of compelling teachers while significantly reducing costs. In the last couple of years, massive online classes (MOOCs) have been prominent in debates concerning the future of higher education. Those who want to see universities become much more narrowly utilitarian embrace the classes as quick paths to the certification of marketable skills. Similarly, those who fear the further commercialization of universities see the technology of MOOCs as contributing to growing alienation and depersonalization in higher education.</description>

 <description>Karl Marx famously wrote that history repeats itself, oethe first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.” Yet when we look around nowadays, we can’t help but wonder whether tragedy will be followed by yet more tragedy. Here we are, at the centenary of the outbreak of World War I, and we find ourselves surrounded by cascading violence, duplicity, and cynicism of the very sort that brought the world to disaster in 1914. And the world regions involved then are involved again.</description>

 <description>An international armour is needed to help protect people from the asymmetry of power produced by the accumulation of wealth and the political advantages it creates. 

For this, we must overturn the system mounted through international arbitration tribunals that protect investors' rights (ICSID and WTO dispute panels) - that is, the rights of major transnational corporations, which are responsible for the majority of international trade and investment flows.</description>

 <title> How Many Have to Die? Iraq and the Scale of the Crime</title>
 <link>http://www.e-ir.info/2014/06/25/how-many-have-to-die-iraq-and-the-scale-of-the-crime/</link>
 <description>The graphic images of the executions by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria have raised the question, is it time for a decisive response to protect civilians in Iraq under the Responsibility to Protect (R2P)?[1] The logic is straightforward. The R2P agreement as set out in 2005 embodies a three-fold responsibility:
First ‘Each individual State has the responsibility to protect its populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity’.
Second, ‘the international community should as appropriate, encourage and help states to exercise this responsibility’.
Third, if the state in question is deemed to be ‘manifestly failing’ to protect its population from GWCE then the international community, ‘through the United Nations’ has a responsibility to use coercive and non-coercive measures in a ‘timely and decisive manner’ under Chapters VI, VII, and VIII of the UN Charter on a ‘case-by-case’ basis.[2]</description>

 <description>EU citizens, if that title means anything any more, can be forgiven if they raise their arms to heaven and say: 'Who asked for this?' From one end of Europe to another, people watch as changes which they have not willed, not voted for, and do not want, alter their lives. The skyline of their more prosperous cities mutates, sprouting steel towers where once there were parks and pubs, while in their poorer towns rubbish drifts along shuttered high streets. The countryside is eroded by suburbanisation, and otherwise seems divided between a zone of chemicalised agriculture and clusters of homes for the rich.</description>

 <description>The Just Net Coalition recognizes the efforts of the organizers of NetMundial to achieve an outcome document, and welcomes certain important steps forward in the final text, particularly the emphasis on managing the Internet in the public interest. 

However, even though the document is non-binding, it leaves us deeply concerned about the inclusion and phrasing of certain clauses, the omission of key issues and above all about how the concept of new types of multistakeholder processes with new kinds of outputs, lacking any clear definition, might be construed by different actors in the future.</description>

 <title> EU economic forecast – Growth becoming broader-based</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36697&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The EU economic outlook is strengthening. While leading indicators point to GDP growth gaining momentum in the near term, the conditions for a sustained recovery in the medium term are also improving. Since the Commission's last forecast in winter, the outlook both for the EU and the eurozone is confirming a muted but continuing recovery. Following real GDP growth of 1.6% in the EU and 1.2% in the eurozone in 2014, activity is expected to accelerate in 2015 to 2% and 1.7% respectively. Though growth differentials will persist, the gap between the best performing countries and those still facing difficulties will narrow. In 2015 all EU economies are expected to grow again.</description>

 <title> Egypt: Epidemic of sexual violence continues</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36686&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Sexual harassment and assault against women remain rife, our organisations warn in a report released today, constituting major obstacles to their participation in the political transition of their country. Successive governments have failed to take measures to stop violence against women and such crimes continue to meet with complete impunity. Attacks in Tahrir Square represent the most visible manifestation of a long-standing systemic problem. Women in Egypt are subjected to daily sexual harassment and assault on the streets, on public transport and in the workplace. </description>

 <title> Rewriting global tax rules could increase developing countries’ corporate tax revenues by over 100%</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36684&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The G20’s plan to tackle corporate tax dodging, devised by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), needs a radical shake up so that developing countries can capture their fair share of foreign business activity, according to a new report published today by Oxfam. The report, Business Among Friends, says that today’s international tax rules allow multinational companies to ‘disappear’ their profits including to other countries in order to pay low or no tax. Oxfam warns that many of the world’s poorest economies that are being worst hit are being left out of the OECD’s negotiations to tackle this scandal. </description>

What impact has this eastward expansion had? An interview with the Hungarian author György Konrád.

 <title> Capitalism simply isn't working and here are the reasons why</title>
 <link>http://www.courrierinternational.com/article/2014/04/21/le-capitalisme-se-mord-la-queue</link>
 <description>Suddenly, there is a new economist making waves " and he is not on the right. At the conference of the Institute of New Economic Thinking in Toronto last week, Thomas Piketty's book Capital in the Twenty-First Century got at least one mention at every session I attended. You have to go back to the 1970s and Milton Friedman for a single economist to have had such an impact. Economist Thomas Piketty's message is bleak: the gap between rich and poor threatens to destroy us.</description>

 <title> The Ukrainian Crisis: a dramatic blow given to the Euro-BRICS rapprochement as well as to the emergence of a multipolar world</title>

 <description>The Ukraine crisis is not an accident of history, it is the result of an intention: that of forcing Ukraine to choose sides between Europe and Russia. The European External Action Service of the European Commission led by Ms. Ashton and Mr. O’Sullivan refused the tripartite negotiation proposed by Russia in November 2013 between the economic partnerships under development among Ukraine and Russia on the one hand, and Ukraine and the EU on the other hand. Once launched, the process was inevitable: forced to choose, Ukraine lost its freedom and, because of its dual nature, headed towards the major crisis that we know today. From the door it was between Europe and Russia, Ukraine transformed into a wall.</description>

 <title> UN rights chief condemns rampant use of torture by Syrian forces, opposition groups</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36657&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The United Nations human rights chief today condemned the rampant use of torture, including allegedly of children, in detention facilities across Syria by Government forces and some armed opposition groups. oeIn armed conflict, torture constitutes a war crime. When it is used in a systematic or widespread manner, which is almost certainly the case in Syria, it also amounts to a crime against humanity,” said High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay.</description>

 <title> Backing Ukraine’s territorial integrity, UN Assembly declares Crimea referendum invalid</title>

 <description> In a vote that reaffirmed Ukraine’s unity and territorial integrity, the United Nations General Assembly today adopted a measure underscoring that the mid-March referendum in Crimea that led to the peninsula’s annexation by Russia oehas no validity” and that the parties should oepursue immediately a peaceful resolution of the situation. ”By a vote of 100 in favour to 11 against, with 58 abstentions, the 193-member Assembly called on all States, international organizations and specialized agencies not to recognize any alteration of the status of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol on the basis of the 16 March referendum oeand to refrain from any action or dealing that might be interpreted as recognizing any such altered status.”</description>

 <description>Remarks by president Obama in address to european youth: Leaders and dignitaries of the European Union; representatives of our NATO Alliance; distinguished guests: We meet here at a moment of testing for Europe and the United States, and for the international order that we have worked for generations to build.nThroughout human history, societies have grappled with fundamental questions of how to organize themselves, the proper relationship between the individual and the state, the best means to resolve inevitable conflicts between states. And it was here in Europe, through centuries of struggle -- through war and Enlightenment, repression and revolution -- that a particular set of ideals began to emerge: The belief that through conscience and free will, each of us has the right to live as we choose.</description>

 <description>The Commission will step up efforts to improve water quality, infrastructure and sanitation, following success of first European Citizens’ Initiative. Right2Water is the first ever successful campaign under the European Citizens’ Initiative, a scheme launched in April 2012 which enables EU citizens to ask the Commission to propose legislation in areas where the EU has powers to act. Organisers of the initiative collected 1.89 million signatures from across Europe supporting their aim of ensuring that all EU citizens enjoy the right to clean water and sanitation.</description>

 <description>Air pollution " both indoor and outdoor " killed some 7 million people across the globe in 2012, making it the world’s largest single environmental health risk, according to new figures released today by the UN World Health Organization (WHO). oeThe risks from air pollution are now far greater than previously thought or understood, particularly for heart disease and strokes,” said Maria Neira, Director of WHO’s Department for Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. oeFew risks have a greater impact on global health today than air pollution; the evidence signals the need for concerted action to clean up the air we all breathe,” Dr. Neira added.</description>

 <title> The infantile diplomacy behind demonising Russia</title>
 <link>http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/the-infantile-diplomacy-behind-demonising-russia/14824#.UzGMWM7ROLL</link>
 <description>Are Western diplomats and media outlets being serious when they accuse the Russian government of launching a new Cold War? Do they really believe their own rhetoric when they say Putin has expansionary ambitions and wants to rebuild the Soviet Empire? Did Hillary Clinton, the former US secretary of state, mean it when she said Russia’s actions in Crimea are similar to ‘what Hitler did back in the 1930s’? Other anti-Russian observers have also claimed that Russia’s incorporation of Crimea is analogous to the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Do all these people sincerely believe this interpretation of current geopolitical events? It is always difficult, if not dangerous, to speculate about the thought processes that drive powerful diplomats and political leaders to say and do certain things.</description>

 <title> Progress made but Chile should better detect and thoroughly investigate foreign bribery, says OECD</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36619&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Chile has made positive efforts to implement the Convention, but there has not been a single foreign bribery conviction. Chile did not sufficiently investigate several of the six foreign bribery allegations that have surfaced since 2001. Chilean embassies failed to alert prosecutors to these cases which were widely reported in the foreign media. Only one of the cases has been detected through domestic sources. Chile should improve its investigative and detection efforts.</description>

 <description>President Barack Obama is struggling to overcome widespread pessimism about the economy and deep frustration with Washington, notching the lowest job-approval ratings of his presidency in a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. The results suggest Mr. Obama could weigh on fellow Democrats in midterm elections this fall, particularly in the conservative states that will play a large role in deciding whether his party retains its Senate majority.</description>

 <description>Crimea's Moscow-backed leaders declared a 96% vote in favour of quitting Ukraine and annexation by Russia in a referendum held yesterday (16 March) Western powers said was illegal and will bring immediate sanctions. EU ministers gather in Brussels today to decide on visa bans and freezing assets of top Russian officials. As state media in Russia carried a startling reminder of its power to turn the United States to "radioactive ash", President Barack Obama spoke to Vladimir Putin on Sunday, telling the Russian president that he and his European allies were ready to impose "additional costs" on Moscow for violating Ukraine's territory.</description>

 <title> Syria: Intractable Dilemmas for Everyone</title>
 <link>http://www.iwallerstein.com/syria-intractable-dilemmas/</link>
 <description>There was a time when all, or almost all, actors in the Middle East had clear positions. Other actors were able to anticipate, with a high degree of success, how this or that actor would react to any new important development. That time is gone. If we look at the civil war in Syria today, we will rapidly see that not only are there a wide range of objectives that different actors set themselves, but also that each of the actors is beset by ferocious internal debates about what position it should be taking.</description>

 <title> South Africa after Mandela</title>
 <link>http://www.iwallerstein.com/south-africa-mandela/</link>
 <description>The icon is dead. Long live what? The world was treated in December 2013 to a celebration of Nelson Mandela’s funeral that was incredible. The elegies were never-ending. More heads of state and government, past and present, came to pay homage than any other funeral in history. There were to be sure some dissenting voices among commentators, but really very few. There was no doubt quite a bit of hypocrisy in the celebration, but there were also expressions of genuine grief and real appreciation for an extraordinary person. It was the last hurrah for someone that South Africans called Tata Madiba.</description>

 <title> The Changing Contours of US Imperial Intervention in World Conflicts</title>
 <link>http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-changing-contours-of-us-imperial-intervention-in-world-conflicts/5362322</link>
 <description>US Empire builders have relied on a wider variety of interventions than their predecessor under President George W. Bush.  They are much less prone to launch large-scale ground operations and more likely to turn to local client elites. They have shown a far greater sense of priorities in selecting targets for direct intervention.</description>

 <title> Syria: What Chance to Stop the Slaughter?</title>
 <link>http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2013/nov/21/syria-what-chance-stop-slaughter/?pagination=false</link>
 <description>How should we make sense of the enforcement of a oered line” prohibiting one horrible weapon that has killed relatively few but leaving untouched the conventional weapons that the Syrian military has used to kill tens of thousands? It is easy to disparage a chemical weapons deal that aims to stop the method of slaughter responsible for fewer than 2 percent of Syria’s estimated 115,000 deaths resulting from the conflict over the past two-and-a-half years while leaving unimpeded the means used to slaughter more than 98 percent. oeRed light for chemical weapons, green light for conventional weapons” would fairly summarize the approach.</description>

 <description>Europeans have been stunned and dismayed by the shutdown and near-default of the United States. Perhaps they even felt some schadenfreude. After all, European leaders have been held to ridicule and contempt for their global brinkmanship over the dysfunctional eurozone in recent years " time and again taking their economies to the cliff, only to pull back just before the markets opened.</description>

 <description>Lost in the celebration over the Nobel Peace Prize to the UN agency eliminating the Syrian government’s chemical weapons is the question of who was really behind the Aug. 21 poison-gas attack near Damascus. Relevant to that mystery is the recent U.S. pressure to control key UN agencies including the prize recipient, reports Robert Parry.</description>

 <title> Inequality Is a Choice</title>
 <link>http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/13/inequality-is-a-choice/?_r=0</link>
 <description>It’s well known by now that income and wealth inequality in most rich countries, especially the United States, have soared in recent decades and, tragically, worsened even more since the Great Recession. But what about the rest of the world? Is the gap between countries narrowing, as rising economic powers like China and India have lifted hundreds of millions of people from poverty? And within poor and middle-income countries, is inequality getting worse or better? Are we moving toward a more fair world, or a more unjust one?</description>

 <description>We seem to have a lot of putative Samsons these days, who are blocking or seeking to block what they consider to be dangerous oecompromises” with the enemy. Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s Prime Minister, is saying that a bad deal is worse than no deal. He is referring to what he sees as the U.S.-Russian agreement on Syria and the possible U.S.-Iranian accord. In Colombia, the former Conservative president is inveighing against the current Conservative president because he is negotiating with the guerilla organization known as FARC under the auspices of Cuba and Brazil.</description>

 <description>In 2013, a series of dramatic accidents in Bangladeshi textile factories caused thousands of casualties, spurring worldwide protests. In the wake of this uproar, a number of corporations and trade unions involved concluded the oeAccord on Fire and Building in Bangladesh”. This deal has incidentally been publicized and celebrated as an example of corporate social responsibility. The agreement is largely based on the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (also known as the Ruggie principles), which are supposed to prevent human rights violations. However, this initiative turned out to be one more of countless deceits by transnational corporations. They burnish their image before the public, without genuinely taking responsibility for respecting human rights.</description>

 <title> Wake up before it is too late: Make agriculture truly sustainable now for food security in a changing climate</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=35809&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Developing and developed countries alike need a paradigm shift in agricultural development: from a "green revolution" to a "truly ecological intensification" approach. This implies a rapid and significant shift from conventional, monoculture-based and high external-input-dependent industrial production towards mosaics of sustainable, regenerative production systems that also considerably improve the productivity of small-scale farmers. We need to see a move from a linear to a holistic approach in agricultural management, which recognizes that a farmer is not only a producer of agricultural goods, but also a manager of an agro-ecological system that provides quite a number of public goods and services (e.g. water, soil, landscape, energy, biodiversity, and recreation) UNCTAD's Trade and Environment Review 2013 (TER13) contends.</description>

 <title> Two-thirds of parliaments fail to be watchdogs of Defence corruption</title>
 <link>http://www.transparency.org/news/pressrelease/two_thirds_of_parliaments_fail_to_be_watchdogs_of_defence_corruption</link>
 <description>Two-thirds of parliament and legislatures fail to exercise sufficient control over their Ministry of Defence and the armed forces, according to a new report by Transparency International UK’s Defence and Security Programme (TI-DSP). Amongst those, 70 per cent of the largest arms importers in 2012 leave the door open to corruption. 
The study"a spin-off from the Government Defence Anti-Corruption Index 2013 (GI) which analysed what 82 countries do to reduce corruption risks in the sector" places countries in corruption risk bands according to detailed assessments across seven areas in which parliaments play a vital anti-corruption role. It also shows, through detailed case studies, how parliaments and legislatures can improve oversight of defence.

 <title> G20: The new Bretton Woods?</title>
 <link>http://www.gatewayhouse.in/g20-the-new-bretton-woods/?utm_source=MadMimi&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Weekly+Briefing&utm_campaign=20130906_m117144040_Weekly+Briefing&utm_term=Read+more</link>
 <description>In the last three years, the G20 group of nations has taken up tough geoeconomic issues bedevilling both developed and developing countries. These include matters such as bringing transparency in global energy and commodities markets.
Addressing them is vital as the world faces turmoil in both energy and food markets. The new discoveries of shale oil, turbulence in traditional West Asian energy markets and massive food subsidies being doled out by developing country governments like India have had a disruptive effect globally.</description>

 <title> World Happiness Report 2013</title>
 <link>http://unsdsn.org/happiness/</link>
 <description>As heads of state get ready for the United Nations General Assembly in two weeks, the second World Happiness Report further strengthens the case that well-being should be a critical component of how the world measures its economic and social development. The report is published by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), under the auspices of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.  Leading experts in several fields " economics, psychology, survey analysis, national statistics, and more " describe how measurements of well-being can be used effectively to assess the progress of nations.</description>

 <title> The case for peace</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=35764&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>First of all, we have no proof that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons. Even if proofs were provided by Western governments, we have to remain skeptical, remembering the Tonkin Gulf incident and the Vietnam war, the incubator baby massacre in Kuwait and the first Gulf war, the Racak massacre and the Kosovo war, the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and the second Gulf war, the threat of massacre in Benghazi and the Libyan war. All these justifications for previous wars were fabricated or dubious.</description>

 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=35744&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today urged leaders at the Group of 20 (G20) summit in St. Petersburg to explore ways to avoid further militarization of the conflict in Syria and to revitalize the search for a political settlement, warning that oetragic consequences” could follow military action.</description>

 <title> Transnational Corporations and Human Rights</title>
 <link>http://www.surjournal.org/esp/conteudos/getArtigo17.php?artigo=17,artigo_06.htm</link>
 <description>The main steps forward involve investment law’s increasing engagement with human rights issues, including a heightened awareness of the abuses that are taking place via investment contracts that are largely kept secret. This is a positive step because there is now growing pressure to make these contracts public, and generally I think there is growing pressure to make a lot of other elements of investment law more human rights-friendly.</description>

 <title> Ban Ki-moon: development aid decline a cause for concern</title>
 <link>http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2013/aug/16/ban-ki-moon-development-aid-decline</link>
 <description>There is an urgent need to reverse the fall in official development assistance (ODA), said Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, as he set out key elements for a development agenda beyond 2015.
In a progress report to the UN general assembly on the millennium development goals (MDGs), Ban expressed concern at the drop in ODA " which comes under MDG8, the global partnership " over the past two years.</description>

 <title> The Role of the Universalization of Human Rights and Migration in the Formation of a New Global Governance</title>
 <link>http://www.surjournal.org/esp/conteudos/getArtigo16.php?artigo=16,artigo_05.htm</link>
 <description>The powerful ideas that shaped human societies up until the past three hundred years were almost all religious, with the notable exception of Chinese Confucianism. Since the Peace of Westphalia,1 Liberalism was the main secular ideology to produce a worldwide effect, a doctrine associated with the rise of the middle class, first commercial and then industrial, in parts of Europe in the 17th century (FUKUYAMA, 2012). As enunciated by classical thinkers such as Locke, Montesquieu and Mill, Liberalism preaches that the legitimacy of State authority derives from the State’s ability to protect the individual rights of its citizens and that the power of the State needs to be limited by law.

 <title> Ocean and globalisation</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=27735&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Without a doubt the ocean is the most important part of the Earth, covering as it does 71% of its surface. Important because, along with the atmosphere, it is an essential component of the climate system which conditions all life. Important also for the resources it contains. Important, more indirectly, because it is in the ocean’s depths that resides the motor of the Earth crust’s dynamics, the ocean depths being the main characteristics of our planet. Important, finally, as it is the probable origin of life itself. Thus it is evident that the Ocean is a oenecessary partner” of globalisations. In fact, one can say it "is" the centre of the world. </description>

 <title> Alliance of civilizations</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=21119&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>As shown by the Declaration for global ethics that was signed in Chicago in 1993, the Parliament of the World’s Religions has understood that the time had come to organize a common strategy to answer the great problems of the world. The main idea was that once it would have agreed on minimum ethics, it would then be able to tackle growing poverty, hunger, violence by and against children, political corruption, the decay of the planet, organized crime, ethnical conflicts, and so on. Today, at a time when the alliance of civilizations is mentioned so much, it would be a good thing to ponder on what has happened to this praiseworthy precedent of great ambition. </description>

 <title> Indigenism</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=21035&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>One of the main challenges set by economic globalization is that of the globalization of the indigenous question. The latter can be stated as follows : "how can the claims made by aboriginal peoples be dealt with?" The processes of economic, political and social globalization could not take place without the diversity brought by indigenous peoples. But speaking of indigenism in a discussion about ongoing globalizations points to the encounter of two worlds that has characterized the modern history of the West. </description>
