  • Putin, Exposed, May Become More Dangerous
    Opinions Putin, exposed, may become more dangerous By David Ignatius Opinion writer October 31 at 8:06 PM Has there ever been a covert action that backfired as disastrously as Russia’s attempt to meddle in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign? Granted, we know all the reasons Moscow is gloating: Donald Trump is president; America is divided and confused; Russia’s propagandization of “fake news” is now repeated by people around the world as evidence that nothing is believable and all information is (as in Russia) manipulated and mendacious. But against this cynical strategy there now stands a process embodied by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, which we will call, as a shorthand: “The Truth.” Mueller has mobilized the investigative powers of the U.S. government to document how Russia and its friends sought to manipulate American politics. We are seeing the rule of law, applied. Put aside for the moment what the indictments and plea agreement announced Monday will ultimately mean for Trump’s presidency. Already, Mueller has stripped the cover from Russia’s machinations: Trump’s former foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos has confessed that he lied to FBI agents about his contacts with individuals connected to Moscow who promised “dirt” on Hillary Clinton; Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been charged with laundering $18 million in payoffs from Russia’s Ukrainian friends. Russian meddling is now advertised to the world. This topic will dominate American debate for the next year, at least. In Europe, meanwhile, a similar reaction to Russian influence operations is gaining force.

    The Buttonwood Gathering New York, October 25 - 26, 2010 The Graduate Center/City University of New York About the event At last year’s Buttonwood Gathering, National Economic Council Director Larry Summers called on banks to accept the responsibility of greater regulation as a service to their country.

Once again in 2010, The Buttonwood Gathering will draw together leading policymakers, banking executives and regulators to discuss restoring trust in the financial system and evaluate our place on the road to recovery.

  • FRANCE: a HOTBED of OPPOSITION to the TTIP? Elvire Fabry | Senior Research Fellow at the Jacques Delors Institute
    POLICY PAPER 136 10 JUNE 2015 FRANCE: A HOTBED OF OPPOSITION TO THE TTIP? Elvire Fabry | senior research fellow at the Jacques Delors Institute SUMMARY Two years after the start of negotiations for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) in July 2013, the evolution of French public opinion is intriguing. THE EVOLUTION OF FRENCH PUBLIC OPINION It was expected that opposition to TTIP would come primarily from France, IS INTRIGUING” where public opinion is traditionally wary of trade liberalisation. But in November 2014, when 59% of Europeans and 25 of 28 member states said they were in favour of TTIP, 50% of French held a favourable opinion while the Germans had become the leading opponents of TTIP. The shift in German public opinion in spring 2014 had not been anticipated, considering that the German econ- omy has turned towards exports and that the German government itself was active in supporting the launch of negotiations. Public debate over TTIP has only truly manifested in France during the European election campaigns of May 2014, when the minor parties opposed to negotiations put the spotlight on the sanitary, phytosanitary, and environmental issues of the negotiations. The two major political groups adopted a more cautious and even evasive approach, waiting until autumn 2014 to clearly state their positions. In summer 2014, meanwhile, the inclusion of a mechanism to resolve disputes between investor and state has imposed itself as a source of more mobilising fears and has united a cross-partisan opposition which has con- tributed to growing doubts over the benefits of the agreement.
