Democracy in the Time of Covid-19 Risks Catching the Authoritarian Virus

Overall, the EIU report shows that the number of countries moving in an authoritarian direction in 2020 exceeded those going the opposite way. The pandemic has prolonged this negative trend into a 5-year stretch, the longest such period since the start of the Third Wave of democratization in the 1970s.

Inflation Redux? The Ghost that is Lurking Over the COP26 Conference in Glasgow

But what does climate change have to do with inflation? Quite a lot in fact. Transitioning from the current industrial model, largely based on non-renewable fossil fuels, to a no-carbon economy will involve prohibitive cost....the question that will inevitably arise is: "Who is going to pay for the costly transition to non-fossil clean energy, and how?"

The Roots of the Cuban Protests: Not Ideological and Not Politically Motivated

In a sense, at least on one point, both the United States and Cuba are on the same page. They persist in addressing the crisis that resulted in the first open protest against the sclerotic regime with ineffective old actions, that had repeatedly failed in the past. Sanctions, whether indiscriminate like those imposed by the […]

The 100 Year Palestine-Israel War: a Time Bomb that May Set Off World War III

It was left to China, as monthly chair of the UN Security Council, to steer the 73 year-long Palestinian debate towards plain common sense. “The root cause of the deterioration,” - said Beijing’s Foreign Minister Wan Yi – “is that for a long time there has not been a just solution to the Palestinian issue.”

Russian-American Relations in the Era of Putin and Biden: What is to be Done?

This is the potential adversary America will have to come to terms with in the forthcoming diminished summit. Both presidents Biden and Putin will have to contend with the changing reality of a world that, whether they like it or not, will not be a superpowers duopoly anymore.

La prima vittima del covid è la verità? Allora intervistiamo Adriana Bazzi

“Sui dati bisogna stare molto attenti... Quello che è certo è che il virus non lo arresti, anzi si diffonde: compresa quella che è infelicemente detta la ‘variante inglese’, che permetterebbe al virus di propagarsi in maniera più veloce e diffusiva. Forse riusciremo ad arrestarlo e forse no... Questo è il senso dei lockdown, per dare agli ammalati la possibilità di avere accesso ai reparti di rianimazione e di continuare la lotta contro il virus. Detto questo però ci dobbiamo aspettare che il virus prima o poi ci raggiunga"

Trump’s Refusal to Concede Defeat: History Repeats Itself, Sometimes as a Farce

The virus of “democratic backsliding” - recently denounced at the U.N. General Assembly during the celebrations of the 25th anniversary of International IDEA, a highly regarded multilateral institution created by Sweden in support of free elections - is not sparing even the United States, long believed to be the gold standard of democracy.

L’elettore è ormai mitridatizzato, il veleno di Trump ha fatto già troppo male

Le ultime ore della aggressiva e a volte volgare campagna elettorale americana, arrivati a questo punto non hanno significato. Una dopo l’altra, le manovre di disorientamento del pubblico orchestrate non solo, come si ripete, dai “soliti noti” stranieri, ma più spesso all’interno e perfino dai vertici dalla Casa Bianca, sono sprofondate nella palude disinformativa come […]

Can This Ugly Election of 2020 Dispel America’s “Fog of Uncertainty”?

Contrary to what the Founding Fathers intended, the constitutional principle of “checks and balances” is eroded. Congress is sidelined and paralyzed by strife. Justice is increasingly politicized. The Executive, meanwhile, is growing more and more assertive and authoritarian. Is this what American voters want?

Trump, like Humpty-Dumpty, Is Heading for a Fall

The day of reckoning is approaching for America: “This is what happens when increasing debt, expanding wealth inequality, and the rise of a great power, combine to challenge the existing hegemony. The United States, with 9.1 million Covid infections and 230,000 dead, is still lacking a national strategy to contain the epidemic and to prevent social unrest. The American economy, for the time being, is being kept afloat with massive injections of ‘helicopter money’”.
