Iran: Middle Earth


The streets of Tehran are now completely flooded with people and sounds, expressions of dissent are increasing by the hour, and with it the cries of protest and repression. But now Iran is not only a country on the brink of civil war, but a kind of navel of the world, a sort of metaphor for a much larger battle, a middle ground short. The Iranian issue is not limited to the division between supporters of Ahmadinejad on one side and those of other Moussavi. The phrase that best helps to understand the value of the land of Iran today, was delivered by U.S. President Obama in a speech a few days ago all the world's eyes are on Iran. All observe what happens in the streets because everyone is interested in Iranian an epilogue rather than another. Iran today is the soil in which we celebrate a tremendous clash: on one hand the logic of the conflict based on religious identity and a sense of belonging and to redress the historic Anglo-Saxon governments. The other, the desire for peace, cooperation and dialogue with enemies.

in the West often overestimates the figure of Ahmadinejad, many believe it is a kind of denial devil with the intention of giving atomic bomb in the scheme. In reality, Ahmadinejad is not much more than a form of Supreme Leader Khamenei and the Council of Sages. They are the ones who actually handle the power and most often start off on the reasoning of the Iranian leader. The Khomeini revolution of 1979 overthrew the Persian monarchy of the Shah with the help of Islamic and mujaiheddin fedayyin (volunteers of the people of Marxist-inspired), but the men were slowly taking control of the fight against the monarch's self-sufficiency, allowing them to impose the birth of the Islamic Republic. Although the Constitution it established the creation of two separate powers, namely the political of the President of the Republic and parliament and the religious supreme leader, is to the latter which in fact had formed part of the real powers. This framework is critical to understand how the tensions within Iran are not the result of Ahmadinejad, but the product of twenty years of religious oppression. The control of the Supreme Leader is not exercised only by law in the adoption of Islamic precepts, but also to prohibit even the nominations of members too far away from Islam in the presidential election, and thus the possibility of prior censorship by Khamenei. And 'This is the meaning of the clashes that are precipitated by the hour, the Shiite Republic in chaos. Ahmadinejad says that behind the riots of these days there is a long arm and American English. E 'plausible that the governments in Washington London and do everything possible to destabilize the regime and give it the shove that fact would change the tables in world relations, but this does not mean that the protests in Tehran are brought from abroad. The Iranians suffer from a limitation of their freedom for some time now, and probably realized that the entire show their anger to the scheme in a historical context where political, returning to the words of Obama, the whole world look in that direction, would give them greater chance of success. It 'hard to predict how it will end the insurgency now underway in the streets in the short run, but you can predict that ultimately, whether the scheme will retain the logic of repression, his life will not be lasting. And 'in fact unlikely that the events of these days so deflate' enough to replace the country in an apparent status of sleep. Certainly it is equally difficult to believe that the regime has little chance of surviving re-opened once the freedom of press, association and expression, but it is true that if the supreme leader's goal is to maintain a central role in Iranian politics in the years future, can not resist for much longer if not going for a loss. Despite major international leaders are concealed in the national news and not behind the words of impartiality or the maximum sentence for the violence of the Iranian government, it is evident that a fall of the regime would open up a new historical phase in which it would be possible to give a new twist to the stabilization of the Middle Eastern territories. Simply failing to Tehran as an enemy, many things could change in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and other countries. Western leaders know this well, and despite having had some timid openings also by the government of Ahmadinejad, I gladly would change with another party. The timid convictions arriving in recent days by the U.S. and Europe are not only the result of the new era over Obama, but also determined by the timid side too much for a revolt that will perhaps defeat and followed that with participation would risk too much to burn the progress made so far now with the Iranian government. The balance of power remain so those streets, that's where you store the hope of unraveling the tangle and create a new course if possible, or pick up where you left off.

ECB:


Continue the long-running debate within the European Union in search of an identity and a common political project. Since its establishment onwards, including hesitations, setbacks and good news, the path still seems rather long and tortuous. In the midst of today's economic crisis, one of the bodies in member countries have become even more important: the European Central Bank (ECB). Often in the news, the ECB was born June 1, 1998, is headquartered in Frankfurt, and emits about 8% of the total European currency. It acts mainly on the 15 countries that are part of European economic policy, but it can also make investments or loans to countries not members. 1998 to 2003 chaired by Wim Duisenberg, is now administered French economist Jean-Claude Trichet. The main objective of the Central Bank is to control the price level and inflation through three main instruments: open market operations, liquidity management, and the ability to change the coeficente reserves of national banks that compose it. The funding organization is in fact the payments by national banks that are part of it, and their volume is in turn determined by the ratio of the country with the GDP and the population community. As an official from the European Parliament, the ECB may claim some independence from politics, and said dedicated to the achievement of purely economic goals. Particularly careful to control the price level, the Central Bank shows little interest in such issues as the level disoccupazionale, or quality of life of the European population. Its independence, in a context in which the creation of a common political project still seems a mirage, in addition to putting revealed a progressive detachment from the ECB's requirements and those of Europeans, it shows a very clear choice by the members of the Union: politics and economics separate leaving white paper to it. The ECB and its independence, show that European states are still conceive as an economic aggregate and not as a complex political product. Decouple politics from economics, and consider the power of numbers always higher than that of words, it means not really believe in the European project, and instead to conceive the union of the old continent as an economic market in which privileged protect themselves that a new global policy challenge that can set a new world order. The EU, its constitution forward, has never called into question an economic model different from liberalism, which is why it was considered a wise choice to ensure the independence of the Central Bank. Without some rare exceptions, none of the political forces he rowed to a radical rethinking of the economy, and it seemed superfluous to create a bridge between ideas and money. Now that the free market instead shows even the most orthodox its limitations, there are many who rail against the not-I do not feel-I do not speak of the Central Bank. Waiting to see how and whether U.S. policy is changing, the EU needs to show adoption of new flexible ways, that is capable of leaving its old "Certainties" to get involved in radical innovation projects, and possibly reinstate the concept of ethics in the economy. And 'This is probably the way that would ensure a brighter future for all, that of the riumanizzare dehumanized. Obviously you can not expect that within a few months, these changes are lightning fast, but it would be good start to creak the old forts, and would be good if the European Central Bank also began to do so, perhaps listening to the voices until now obscured by ticking calculators.

Whats The Best Way To Stay Hard?

currency without borders India. from socialism to liberalism and political right

nehruviana The decline in the age that saw the family as the first President of India independent, Jawaharlal Nehru, to rule the Indian subcontinent from 1947 to 1989, coincided with another major global event: the fall of the Berlin Wall. From then on there was, in India as in many parts of the globe, winning the affirmation of neoliberal policies "socialism." The economy has now established itself in the Indian subcontinent characterized by strong private presence, and Hinduism is no longer a simple political distinctiveness of the company as before, but a real project to unify its members and discriminate against outsiders. The Indian political system can no longer, as before 1996, to govern according to party dominant alliances are programmed to defeat their opponents. Smaller parties have become increasingly important over time and facilitated the exponential growth of two types: those in local, and those representing the interests of caste. This trend can be considered as one of the typical consequences of the process of globalization. In a context as complex as confused, they tend to favor those parties of particular interests and not the huge cauldrons bureaucracy. In the last elections a few months ago is the historical party of Mahatma Gandhi, the Congress, the Hindu fundamentalist party, the BJP lost acclaim at the expense of much smaller parties, especially to those on the left. The electorate, often de-politicized in the classic sense of ideological opposition, tries as much as possible to protect or improve their position through the election of representatives of the same social category. Expression of this particular trend has also been the formation of a bearer party of the interests of caste, the untouchables, who even today can boast the presidency of the lower house (the Lok Sahba) with the first woman in the history of the subcontinent to take on this assignment, Meira Kumar. Such developments led to three main consequences: the proliferation of governments and their instability, heterogeneity of the majority, made up of different interest groups, and the rise of regional parties, which have gained considerable weight to the life of the Governments themselves. Since the elections of 1996 onwards, government coalitions are no longer monochromatic, as in the past, but meet all three characteristics mentioned above. The evolution worst since independence party today is certainly that of Congress, a British weekly that has defined as "a set of thieves and sycophants." With the death of the historic leader Nehru, there was a gradual process in the party ideologically empty, finally ending with the final sunset nehruviana age and death of his grandson Rajiv. The prestige of the families they belong, in India and in Burma and other countries, is a real political pass. If tradition is strong kinship, an unknown character can be a candidate in the highest offices of state is' This is the origin of the candidacy of Sonia Gandhi, but even in the last election was particularly excited to lead the country, and left as before the assignment to Manmohan Singh. In a policy framework has become more unstable governments that have occurred over the years have become increasingly distanced from the socialist model that Nehru had so hoped for, and have in fact made manifest what was happening globally with the fall of the Berlin Wall: the yield of socialism in favor of the liberal model. The anomaly is that the Indian political system as it was spread throughout the world, the temptation of the Left parties to be conniving with the galloping new economic model, in India they have become among its most enthusiastic supporters. In the crucial years for the final burial of socialism of Nehru, all those Indian politicians seem to marry the new doctrine, even the leader of the Bengali communists Joyty Basu has been spent around the world to convince big business to invest in the subcontinent. There is no doubt on the results of this new approach: India's GDP grew by 6-7% per annum and the IT sector world has become a beacon, but we are talking about the economy, if you talk about quality of life data would be very different. Even now, as then, it seems there are many benefits for that 33% of the population which, according to official statistics also do not have the minimum economic enough to prevent malnutrition. The discrepancy was determined to eradicate social Nehru is ongoing. The policies we are able to advance economically in the entire subcontinent, but are able to ensure greater equity and social justice? The logic of profit is universal and therefore valid in India as in all other parts of the world, but the situation in India is a paradox because if its economy, despite today's economic crisis continues to be highly developed, the same can not be said of his level of welfare. E 'in India perhaps more than anyone else that feels the most important question of this, and' this can really be called development?
elections a few months ago, seeing they reaffirmed the alliance government headed by Manmohan Singh, has seen a significant step forward for the Left parties who more than anyone in recent years have pressed the government to criticism on social issues. Evidently, as yet absolutely stable as a template, the freedom of India begins to suffer strokes of light from below. The bands weakest of the population seem to awaken from the myth of the "American dream" and realize that despite the numbers describe a country continues to rise, his condition is stable, if not terribly worse.
The lack of response to policy is also part of private law so invasive that they have taken place in a real beacon of civilization in the subcontinent, or in the functioning of caste. These absolutely unique in the world, live on a vertical hierarchy, inclusive, or for how deeply unequal ii tends to include all members in a collective based on mutual need. The logic of caste superiority by birth and then, well she married a certain acceptance of the status of poverty. However, with steps such as election as president of the Lower House of Meira Kumar, is easy to predict that the categories poor start to ask themselves increasingly doubt that their condition is not fully written, and therefore not legitimate. This awareness, if it became effective, would throw the country into chaos. Only a sound policy, not only to give signals, but also to decipher those in place, will help to avoid dangerous tensions grow, and meet the demands of equality that comes from many segments of society. The country that became the seed of a new and revolutionary thought which Gandhism, is now in position of having to choose whether to permanently solve its social discrepancies before they explode, or to continue to ignore them and think instead of a total accumulation without regard to its spatial distribution. The models, as cost-effective, can never persist over time if not recognized as the most fair for the community., Especially in a global context where the tensions between different groups (both for religion and for different economic status) is continuing growing. India will be the bearer of a message. Must demonstrate that it is possible to combine economic growth with the increased quality of life. That should become as it did in the past, the guidance of a "third position" mind you that the economic values \u200b\u200bwithout forgetting that, though timidly, albeit quietly, behind them there are people.
