  • Larouche in Italy: Take the Lead for Eurasian Development
    EIRFeature LaRouche in Italy: Take the Lead for Eurasian Development by Claudio Celani For the second time in a month, Lyndon LaRouche visited Italy, a country where he has high recognition and where, last year, the national Chamber of Deputies approved a resolution calling for a “new world financial architecture” oriented toward productive investment, not speculation—as LaRouche’s proposed New Bretton Woods system specifies. From May 5-8, LaRouche paid a visit to the northern Italian cities of Vicenza and Milan, holding public events and private meetings. In this trip, as in the previous one, LaRouche called on Italian leaders to break with the new “Roman imperial” policy of the Bush Administration, and to join ranks with its European allies in organizing for a Eurasian development policy (see EIR, April 25). Italy plays a special role in the Eurasian project, because of its natural projection into the Mediterranean Sea, toward the Mideast, which is the crossroads between Eurasia and Africa. A special feature of LaRouche’s visit this time was the expansion of the LaRouche Youth Movement to Italy. Vicenza: A High-Export Region On May 5, LaRouche was the main guest speaker at a conference at the Vicenza Chamber of Commerce, organized by EIR and by the International Strategic Politi- cal Economic Institute (ISIES), founded by a group of businessmen from the region. Vicenza represents a singularity known to LaRouche, who was there already in July 2001: A city of 200,000, Vicenza has a high density of small and medium- sized enterprises, and alone exports more than the nation of Greece.

  • Political Language of the Church in the Post-Soviet Period Boris Knorre and Tatiana Kharish Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia
    ISPS Convention 2017 Convention 2017 “Modernization and Multiple Modernities” Volume 2018 Conference Paper Political Language of the Church in the Post-Soviet Period Boris Knorre and Tatiana Kharish Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia Abstract This article analyzes the political language of the Russian Orthodox Church as a social / public instrument of influence. Against the backdrop of post-secular processes, it considers the specifics of the language of political church strategies that go beyond the traditional religious domain. The ways and communicative approaches in the field of government relations and public relations are shown, by which the Russian Orthodox Church establishes relations with the authorities in the post-Soviet period, and already today demonstrates itself not just as one of the institutions of civil society, but also as an institution vested with political functions and political authority. To construct its Corresponding Author: Boris Knorre social and political role, the Church acts situationally.

  • 1974-1988 Fifteenth Anniversary
    Fifteenth Anniversary 1974-1988 John Kenneth Galbraith Bill Moyers Stanislav Menshikov What tasks lay before the world's superpowers as they try to solve the common complex problems of poverty, homelessness, food production, education and drugs? Can the socialist and capitalist systems find parallels between their economies that could serve as the basis for cooperation and reform? This celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of New England Circle focuses on today's major international issue, the coexistence of Capitalism with Communism. Tonight, our Discussion Leaders are two of the world's most brilliant economists representing the two superpowers, John Kenneth Galbraith and Stanislav Menshikov. They will discuss the differences, similarities, strengths and weaknesses of the two contrasting systems. Dr. Galbraith is past President of the American Economic Association and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Dr. Menshikov, a comparative economist, has conducted econometric studies of the American, Japanese and Soviet economies. He has also served in the Secretariat of the United Nations and the Central Committee of the Soviet Union's Communist Party. Sharpening the dialogue between Drs. Galbraith and Menshikov is the nation's premier public affairs tele- vision journalist, Bill Moyers. Movers is a founding partner of Public Affairs Television, Inc. which he views as "an effort to use television to explore substantive challenges to democracy." Included in Moyers' vast experience as a reporter, commentator, publisher and Special Assistant to the President, is his service as a director of The Council on Foreign Relations. When New England Circle celebrated its tenth anniversary, we discussed the possibility of a "Spirit of Hope" as we reviewed the prospects for peace in a nuclear age.
