From a Not So Far Country as Italy is...
|
|
by Alessandro Ghebreigziabiher
Dear Americans,
I am not a citizen of the States; I didn't have to vote for your 'war'
president or for the 'peace' one, even if today the word peace is not ever
the exact contrary of war.
However, in my fair Italy, never as in this case, all the medias talked about
your president's elections.

The New Patriotism Series of Orion Society
|
|
di Enzo Ferrara
Each time, after an event of war or terror disseminates all over
clusters of death, fear, and frightfulness, it seems urgent to enfork
new lenses - maybe new eyes, if possible, after September 11th 2001 -
and wider perspectives to observe and analyze the world. Unfortunately,
this is not the case for most of the talks heard from politicians,
bureaucrats, and commentators that tend to reduce extremely complex
problems of international politics to issues of unity, armed security,
normality, and retaliation. Everywhere terrorism, homeland security,
and patriotism have emerged in the common lexicon, and while rhetoric
is proposed to substitute thought, assumptions and attendant emotions
are used to inspire and buttress a varied set of political and military
responses to the facts of terrorism.

Analisi: Globalisation, Sustainability and Inclusive Democracy (Part 2)
|
|
(PART 2)
It is obvious,
however, that the latter view, which is at the moment the dominant one, is
ignorant of the parameters set by the institutional framework. Given that, as I
attempted to show, the neoliberal consensus is not just a policy change but a
structural change imposed by the internationalisation of the market economy, the
basic elements of the neoliberal consensus and, in particular, the elements of
flexible markets and minimum social controls on markets, will never go away
within an internationalised market economy. But, a market economy today can only
be an internationalised one, given that the growth (and therefore profitability)
of the TNCs, which control the world market economy, depends on the continuous
expansion of world markets. However, as long as the market economy has to be an
internationalised one, markets have to be as open and as flexible as possible.

The collapse of the hudna and the Road Map
|
|
by Rude Awakening
( tratto dal periodico israeliano Challenge, curato da ebrei e arabi
*)
To the ongoing American failure in Iraq one may add, in the Israeli-Palestinian
arena, the collapse of the hudna (cease-fire) and with it the so-called Road
Map. These enterprises have been interwoven from the start. In projecting
the vision of a Palestinian state, the Bush Administration sought to conciliate
the Arab world, following the humiliation of Iraq, and to promote a new culture
of government in the Middle East. A democratic Iraq, led by the opposition
to Saddam Hussein beneath the American aegis, was to have its counterpart
in a democratic Palestine, led by Abu Mazen under an Israeli aegis. Bush’s
vision had no place for dinosaurs like Saddam and Yasser Arafat, epitomes
of the old Middle East.
