The EU's Road to Rome
30/3/2017 The EU’s Road to Rome by Ana Palacio Project Syndicate WORLD AFFAIRS ANA PALACIO Ana Palacio, a former Spanish foreign minister and former Senior Vice President of the World Bank, is a member of the Spanish Council of State, a visiting lecturer at Georgetown University, and a member of the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on the United States. MAR 20, 2017 The EU’s Road to Rome MADRID – At the end of this month, European Union leaders (except for British Prime Minister Theresa May) will gather in Italy to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome. Anniversary celebrations are always a good excuse for self‐congratulation, and the rhetoric 渄illing the air in the run‐up to the Rome summit suggests that this one will be no different. But EU leaders should also be using the anniversary as an opportunity to re渄lect deeply on the project they are celebrating. The EU is at a crossroads. The United Kingdom has not even formally launched the withdrawal process, yet Brexit has already demolished one of the European project’s founding assumptions: that, however slowly, integration would always move forward. Now, rising nationalist populism is threatening to unravel six decades of progress. A celebration of European unity may be the ideal moment to confront the dif渄icult truth of disunity, and chart a way forward. But the honesty, self‐awareness, and clear vision needed to use the Rome summit in this way does not come naturally to EU leaders, who excel far more at lofty rhetoric than pragmatic solutions. -

Argentina-Marruecos. De Los Impulsos a La Convergencia Político-Comercial (1989-2007)
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repositorio Hipermedial de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE ROSARIO Facultad de Ciencia Política y Relaciones Internacionales DOCTORADO EN RELACIONES INTERNACIONALES TESIS Argentina-Marruecos. De los impulsos a la convergencia político-comercial (1989-2007) Mgter. Juan José Vagni DIRECTORA: Dra. Gladys Lechini 21 de octubre de 2008 Este trabajo aborda las vinculaciones de Argentina con el Reino de Marruecos, en el contexto de sus relaciones con el Norte de África y África, centrando su atención en el período 1989-2007, etapa en la cual se profundizó el acercamiento entre ambos actores y, consecuentemente, el afianzamiento de los lazos bilaterales. Se pretende explicar porqué las relaciones político-diplomáticas y comerciales con Marruecos se intensificaron y avanzaron en el sentido de una convergencia político-comercial, a pesar del descenso del perfil de las relaciones argentino-africanas en la política exterior argentina. El incremento sostenido en la relación bilateral se produjo debido a la implementación de una política por impulsos, de carácter agregativo, que se sostuvo a lo largo de estos veinte años, gracias a las respuestas e insistencia del lado marroquí y a los acercamientos desarrollados por Brasil hacia la región norafricana. Mientras en los noventa se avanzó con el enfoque comercialista, animado por las coincidencias ideológicas resultantes del alineamiento con la potencia hegemónica; en el siglo XXI el enfoque comercialista se acentuó, pero ahora bajo el discurso de la cooperación Sur-Sur. 2 Argentina - Moroco. From impulses to political and commercial convergence (1989-2007) This thesis deals with the relationship between Argentina and Morocco in the broader context of the argentine relations with Africa and North Africa specifically. -

Izquierda Y Populismo. Alternativas Al Neoliberalismo En Venezuela
Izquierda y populismo: alternativas al neoliberalismo en Venezuela1 Edgardo Lander I. El Pacto de Punto Fijo y la izquierda En el año 1958, con el derrocamiento de la dictadura militar de Marcos Pérez Jiménez, se inicia en Venezuela el período democrático del llamado puntofijismo, pacto de gobernabilidad que tiene como protagonistas a los dos principales partidos políticos del país (Acción Democrática y Copei), contando con el respaldo de las Fuerzas Armadas, la alta jerarquía de la Iglesia Católica, la principal federación sindical, la Confederación de Trabajadores de Venezuela (CTV), y la mayor organización empresarial, la Federación de Cámaras de Comercio y Producción (FEDECÁMARAS) (López Maya y Gómez Calcaño 1989). En un clima de amplia conflictividad social, en poco tiempo se va agudizando la confrontación entre un régimen político excluyente con estrechos márgenes de tolerancia para la disidencia y una izquierda crecientemente radicalizada. En el año 1960 se suspenden las garantías constitucionales y se clausuran los periódicos de izquierda. Los dirigentes sindicales de ésta son pasados al tribunal disciplinario de la CTV. La suspensión de garantías se reafirma el mismo día de la aprobación de la nueva Constitución en el año 1961. Bajo la influencia de la Revolución Cubana se inicia la lucha armada. Son inhabilitados el Partido Comunista de Venezuela (PCV) y el Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR), primer desprendimiento de Acción Democrática. Después de varios años de lucha rural y urbana, que incluyó los levantamientos militares conocidos como el Carupanazo y el Porteñazo en el año 1962, la izquierda termina derrotada. Centenares de personas son detenidas, torturadas, desaparecidas, muertas.
