Works by Plato, Aristotle, Thucydides, and to a lesser extent Cicero and Vergil, generally unknown to China during the millennia-long dynastic system, have shown themselves "good to think with" in contemporary China, both at moments of crisis and revolution, and at moments of increasing confidence...

Until the end of the Cold War, the politics of national identity was confined to isolated incidents of ethnics strife and civil war in distant countries. Now, with the collapse of Communist regimes across Europe and the loosening of the Cold War's clamp on East-West relations, a surge of nationalism has swept the world stage. In Blood and Belonging, Ignatieff makes a thorough examination of why blood ties-in places as diverse as Yugoslavia, Kurdistan,...

Décembre 2013: lors d'une cérémonie qui ressemblait à des funérailles nationales, devant une télé d'État béatement subjuguée par tant de pouvoir, des grands de ce monde ont chanté à l'unisson les louanges de Paul Desmarais: un grand homme d'affaires qui aurait donné tant au Québec nous a quitté.
Et si on inversait la question: que doivent Paul Desmarais et son empire au Québec ?
Tout! répond Robin Philpot.

John first heard the term political correctness in 1975. When he asked his friend, what is that? After the explanation, John replied, "That is the biggest conversation killer I have ever heard." John felt it was wrong but had no wherewithal to challenge it. For thirty-five years, it bothered him. It wasn't until twenty-eleven that, looking at a possible second term for Obama, he finally coined the phrase "Constitutional correctness trumps political...

Imagine a time in the future when science has developed the means to allow the political socioeconomic playing field to level itself, giving everyone adequate food, shelter, clothing, health care, and sufficient education, and outlawing warfare. It may not happen tomorrow, but the age of abundance may be waiting in the future, where man has evolved to become gnostic human beings to fully understand what it means to be human in knowledge, righteousness,...

The Memo is the riveting story of how Rich Higgins' twenty year career inside the Deep State enabled him to discern - well before anyone else - the Deep State's efforts to stop and ultimately remove the President from office. No one was more bold - or more frighteningly accurate - in anticipating the ferocity of the Deep State's assault on the Constitution and President Trump.

Analizar el fenómeno del populismo en Argentina implica, no solo un análisis político sino también investigar las condiciones económicas sobre las que se sostiene. Pero, sobre todo, implica una confrontación con la corriente histórica conocida como "revisionismo".
Esta corriente, que ha hegemonizado el relato histórico y su interpretación, ha oscurecido y distorsionado toda la historia argentina desde Rivadavia hasta nuestros días. La sucesión...

I finally done it. For the longest time, I have felt compelled to share what I have experienced. Some of the experience were along the lines of political. Some of this experience were religious.
We are only here for only so long. When we find what is important, when we have seen, and we do know, we are obligated to profess. I finally done it; here it is.

Longtemps associé à un phénomène en marge de la politique européenne ou à l'instabilité de régimes présidentiels de l'Amérique latine, le populisme est maintenant indissociable de l'actualité politique: le Brexit, l'élection de Donald Trump à la présidence américaine en 2016, celle de Bolsonaro au Brésil en 2018 ou d'Orban en Hongrie en 2014 et 2018, en sont des exemples.

As I write this, the Covid 19 virus is raging out of control. The current American death toll, as a result of the virus, is approaching 270,000 and is expected to double within the next couple of months. The press, or at least all the major mainstream news networks, have quite gleefully reported that the federal election is over, Trump has lost, Biden is now the "president elect", and Trump should "quit playing golf and prepare to spend the remainder...
