Peter Frankopan: The Byzantine empire’s own ‘eurozone’ crisis offers a lesson for the EU today

Sometimes it is easy to forget why we study history. Of course, we use the past to understand the present; but also, ideally, we learn from it too. What a shame, then, that there is no space in the new national curriculum for the history of Byzantium. The eastern half of the Roman empire that […]

Michael Ignatieff: The Refugee Crisis Isn’t a ‘European Problem’

THOSE of us outside Europe are watching the unbelievable images of the Keleti train station in Budapest, the corpse of a toddler washed up on a Turkish beach, the desperate Syrian families chancing their lives on the night trip to the Greek islands — and we keep being told this is a European problem. The […]

Jacques Rupnik: The Other Europe

Europe is facing the biggest wave of migration since that from the East at the end of World War II and the start of the Cold War. And it is indeed Central Europe, whose peoples regard freedom of movement as the greatest benefit arising from the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, where today […]

Ivan Krastev: Eastern Europe’s Compassion Deficit

COMMENTING on the flow of migrants making their way through Hungary to Austria and Germany, a Hungarian journalist told me recently: “We don’t have cities anymore. Only an extended railway station.” Twenty years ago, Hungary and its Eastern European neighbors were transitional, post-Communist societies, and several — Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia — still are. Now, overnight, […]

George Friedman: The European Union, Nationalism and the Crisis of Europe

Last week, I wrote about the crisis of Islamic radicalism and the problem of European nationalism. This week’s events give me the opportunity to address the question of European nationalism again, this time from the standpoint of the European Union and the European Central Bank, using a term that only an economist could invent: “quantitative […]

George Friedman: Europe Rediscovers Nationalism

Analysis In his latest novel, French writer Michel Houellebecq presents a controversial situation: The year is 2022, and France has become an Islamicized country where universities have to teach the Koran, women have to wear the veil and polygamy is legal. The book, which created a stir in France, went on sale Jan. 7. That […]

Francis Fukuyama: The Middle-Class Revolution

Over the past decade, Turkey and Brazil have been widely celebrated as star economic performers—emerging markets with increasing influence on the international stage. Yet, over the past three months, both countries have been paralyzed by massive demonstrations expressing deep discontent with their governments’ performance.

Fareed Zakaria: The limits of the ‘Islamic’ label

President Obama stands accused of political correctness for his unwillingness to accuse groups such as the Islamic State of “Islamic extremism,” choosing a more generic term, “violent extremism.” His critics say that you cannot fight an enemy you will not name. Even his supporters feel that his approach is too “professorial.” But far from being […]

Erich Fromm: Ekonomická nutnost proměny člověka

Dosud jsme tvrdili, že charakterové rysy vyvolané naším socioekonomickým systémem, tj. naším způsobem života, jsou patogenní a nakonec vytvářejí nemocného člověka, a tedy i nemocnou společnost. Ovšem existuje ještě druhý argument, který ze zcela jiného hlediska podporuje hluboké psychologické změny v člověku jako alternativu vůči ekonomické a ekologické katastrofě. Tento argument byl podán ve dvou zprávách […]
