  • AB Uzun Bir Süredir Fortress Europe Olmayı Bıraktı
    EUROPEAN UNION: A CIVILIAN OR A POLITICAL POWER IN THE EURO-MEDITERRANEAN PARTNERSHIP? ARMAGAN EMRE ÇAKIR This article claims that within the framework of the Euro- Mediterranean Partnership, the Union mainly assumes the role of civilian power. Sometimes it also has to assume the political power role and becomes influential by using the attraction of full- membership. However, in cases like the conflict in the Middle East, where the Union still wants to be influential but the ‘membership’ instrument cannot work, the Union displays a poor record. In such situations, institutionalisation of the security dimension of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership may help. Introduction Among the foreign policy choices before any international actor is that of determining its position on the isolationism-internationalism continuum. The ends of this range are marked by minimal (that is the isolationism end) and maximal (that is the internationalism end) participation in the international system. In the case of the European Union (EU), if taken as a unified entity acting as an international actor, it is difficult to pinpoint a precise value on this continuum as this value has changed considerably over time in terms of intensity, nature as well as according to the region of the world in question. In basic terms, it would not be wrong to claim that the EU has displayed a shift towards the internationalist end progressively. Until the beginning of the 1990s, the Union was more concerned with completing its political and economic integration process, and this process was indeed almost completed with some positive results like the Single Market and a single currency as scheduled.

The cartoons in this volume deal with Aserious subject matters: gender equality, human rights, the education of women and girls, and the role of women around the globe. WOMEN DELIVER Women may be key to cultural stability and economic prosperity, but cultural traditions sometimes lag behind this realization.

The cartoonists come from Australia, Colombia, Ecuador, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Holland, Iran, Japan, Palestine, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Women Deliver, The World Receives offers cartoon art that “crosses language borders and shows us our shared humanity.” Liza Donnelly, who collected the cartoons published here is a contract cartoonist with the New Yorker and a weekly columnist/cartoonist for Forbes.com and Women’s Enews. She has traveled around the world as a cultural envoy for the US State Department, speaking about freedom of speech, cartoons and women’s rights.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.

  • Speciale NOMOS Ministri E Sottosegretari Governo Draghi
    I ministri e i sottosegretari del Governo Draghi 25 febbraio 2021 Mario Draghi Nato a Roma il 3 settembre 1947. Rimase orfano di entrambi i genitori quando aveva 15 anni. Si è laureato in Economia nel 1970 all’Università La Sapienza di Roma con una tesi su Integrazione economica e variazione dei tassi di cambio. Si è poi specializzato al Massachusetts Institute of Technology di Boston dove ha conseguito un PhD con una tesi intitolata Essays on Economic Theory and Applications. Nel 1982 comincia una brillante carriera pubblica come consigliere del ministro del Tesoro Giovanni Goria, fino a diventare direttore generale del Tesoro nel 1991. La sua carriera prosegue poi in Goldman Sachs fino al 2005 quando viene nominato Governatore della Banca d’Italia, diventando promotore di diverse riforme e di un profondo processo di modernizzazione dell’Istituto. Nel maggio del 2011 viene nominato presidente della Bce, in un momento in cui l’Unione Europea si trova a fronteggiare gli effetti della crisi economica del 2008 e successivamente di quella del 2012. In quest’ultimo frangente, Draghi pronunciò il discorso più importante della sua carriera e uno dei più importanti della storia Europea. Durante un forum di investitori a Londra annunciò che la Bce avrebbe fatto «whatever it takes» per salvare l’euro. Grazie a quell’intervento oggi viene celebrato come il salvatore dell’Europa e viene elogiato da tutti i leader europei per l’uscita dalla crisi e il successivo consolidamento economico e politico dell’Unione Europea stessa. Il suo nome è emerso con forza per superare la crisi politica del Governo Conte II.
