6 May 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
“Every author in some degree portrays himself in his works, even if it be against his will.” - Goethe
One of Algeria’s greatest sons, the late Albert Camus, is back where he rightfully belongs—center stage! Thanks to Elizabeth Hawes’ delightful and vibrant book, “Camus, A Romance,” (1) and Robert Zaretsky’s scholarly and insightful tome, “Albert Camus: Elements of a Life.” (2). Camus, a talented writer and philosopher, has again risen from the literary ashes. His clarion call for “limits” (…) -

Nicos Poulantzas
The suicide of Nicos Poulantzas has received scant, if any, attention in the United States. This is not so much because Poulantzas committed an unthinkable act by jumping out a window, an act which is not easily confronted by anyone. The reason for the silence is instead more forthright than that: though his work was emblematically known here, it never had the enormous theoretical and political impact it did in Europe.
It is indeed hard to make clear for an American (…) -

In the end, it was the Frogs’ fault. It was down to Jacques Chirac’s slippery diplomacy that the US-British-led coalition could not secure a second resolution authorising the use of force against Saddam Hussein. This is no tabloid rant but, in substance, Lord Goldsmith’s astonishing account when he appeared (…) -
From Voter Apathy to Voter Activism!
18 January 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
Those who can’t be bothered to go out and vote on election day or think their vote won’t make a difference not only miss the point but also miss a prime opportunity to voice their dissatisfaction. In the Western world, we preach and proselytize the gospel of democracy and even try to force it on other countries (whether they like it or not), providing expertise and money to set up a framework for democratic elections. Over history, people across the world have died (or put their lives in (…)

The French Government Must Recognize the Null Vote/Spoiled Ballot
16 January 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
2 commentsMost people fall into two camps on the issue of voting. Either they believe that it is one’s civic duty to vote in an election or they shun elections altogether. Not bothering to vote is a sign of apathy while voting for the sake of voting can put the wrong party in power. Not many voters are even aware that a third option is available to them: the null vote! “Votez Nul” is a very straightforward French campaign to have a defaced ballot or null vote recognized for what it is. If individuals (…)

COMOROS: THIRTY FOUR YEARS OF LOW BLOWS TO LEGALIZE AN INJUSTICE
11 November 2009 par (Open-Publishing)
The aim of France to keep the 3 other islands of the Comoros (Anjuan, Mayotte and Moheli), a chronic destabilization is to guide the political concerns of Comoros on issues related to their "survival" as the return of Mayotte in its natural environment. The draft of the Comoros in a humiliating poverty is a factor of satisfaction for France, because it stifles any hint of demands on the return of Mayotte in its natural fold. For many of the Comoros, Mayotte claim the project is absolutely (…)
