Les effets de la crise sur la scolarisation des enfants - 0 views

  •  
    Quand la crise sévit, elle ne dérobe pas seulement l'emploi, ne réduit pas seulement les moyens de subsistance. Elle provoque aussi un effet sur les esprits : celui de réduire à néant les espoirs que fondent les parents sur les études. Pourquoi s'acharner à scolariser ses enfants quand "les retours attendus en termes de travail et de revenus s'amoindrissent" ?

A saudade do escravo na velha diplomacia brasileira - Leonardo Boff - 0 views

  •  
    As elites brasileiras, tidas por Darcy Ribeiro como das mais reacionárias do mundo, nunca aceitaram Lula porque pensam que seu lugar não é na Presidência, mas sim na fábrica produzindo para elas. A nossa imprensa comercial é obtusa face ao novo período histórico que estamos vivendo. Por isso abomina também a diplomacia de Lula.

Third World Diplomatic Cooperation - Brazil & Turkey - and the Future of US Empire in t... - 0 views

  •  
    Last week, Brazilian President Lula da Silva and Turkish Prime Minister Reccep Erdogan announced a breakthrough agreement on the Iranian nuclear impasse that they claimed would make further sanctions on Iran "unnecessary." The agreement, accepted by Iran, was immediately rejected by the US and its European allies, who chose instead to continue the three-decade long US effort to strangle and isolate Iran by all means available. In what Graham Fuller, a top-ranking former intel official, called "a stunningly insulting response," Hillary Clinton proudly announced consensus for a fourth round of sanctions against Iran days later, which she called "as convincing an answer to the efforts undertaken in Iran in the past few days as any we could provide."

Europa - luta de classes está voltando com violência de há cem anos: o capita... - 0 views

  •  
    A luta de classes está de volta à Europa e em termos tão novos que os atores sociais estão perplexos e paralisados. O relatório que o FMI acaba de divulgar sobre a economia espanhola é uma declaração de guerra. Os movimentos e as organizações de toda a Europa têm de se articular para mostrar aos governos que a estabilidade dos mercados não pode ser construída sobre as ruínas da estabilidade das vidas dos cidadãos e suas famílias. Não é o socialismo; é a demonstração de que ou a UE cria as condições para o capital produtivo se desvincular relativamente do capital ou o futuro é o fascismo. O artigo é de Boaventura de Sousa Santos

The Year of Wishful Thinking - from a Global Financial Crisis morphed into a Global Sov... - 0 views

  •  
    The period from March 2009 was the year of wishful thinking. Central banks cut interest rates and governments opened their cheque books providing a flood of cheap money that gave the illusion of recovery and a normal functioning economy. By pouring a lot of water into a bucket with a large hole, the world sustained the impression that the receptacle was almost full.

The Failure Club: Our Leaders Are Responsible for Europe's Crisis - 0 views

  •  
    It was neither tax evaders in Greece nor hedge funds that caused Europe's existential crisis -- political leaders in the euro zone share a great deal of the responsibility. They have been either unwilling or incapable of doing their jobs.

U.S. New National Security Strategy - 0 views

  •  
    The White House unveiled a new National Security Strategy that will serve to guide America's approach to the world. It signals a sharp break from the previous administration whose unilateral, reckless, and ideologically-driven policies left America isolated, overstretched, and weaker. This strategy outlines a clear vision that reflects the the last decade of progressive thought; it demonstrates a comprehension of the geopolitical landscape and of the challenges confronting the United States and the world.

Irã: os dilemas da aplicação das sanções - 0 views

  •  
    Se admitirmos que os efeitos das prováveis sanções serão mínimos, qual o sentido da tentativa do governo Obama sabotar o esforço diplomático do Brasil e da Turquia? Trata-se, ao que tudo indica, de uma resposta às crescentes críticas na sociedade norte-americana - provavelmente devido às eleições no Congresso norte-americano em novembro -, de que os EUA estão aceitando o seu declínio, ao permitir que países emergentes estejam preenchendo o vácuo de poder na política mundial. Talvez o custo dessa irresponsabilidade seja alto demais.
