Страна приближается к очередному торжеству демократии, которое должно обновить власть на местных выборах. А это более 200 000 избирательных кампаний одновременно!
Но сегодняшний наш разговор пойдёт не о ставшей традицией подлости лидеров украинства, а о ближайшем будущем самой Украины и том, как и почему Россия будет «колонизировать» эту запущенную землю, населённую наивными людьми.
Международная правозащитная организация Freedom House опубликовала опубликовала аналитический доклад «Страны переходного периода в 2010 году» (Nations in Transit 2010), в котором отметила общую тенденцию к снижению демократических процессов в исследуемых государствах.
Последний месяц украинские СМИ, возможно, с чьей-то умелой подачи, растиражировали информацию о том, что руководство Украины и России пришло к неким секретным договоренностям относительно распределения сфер влияния в Молдове и Приднестровье.
Замазывание советского периода одной только черной краской - это некий сознательный идеологический маневр, цель которого - полностью снять с государства социальную ответственность, ответственность за воспроизводс
Некоторые думают, или делают вид, что думают, что проводились праймериз к выборам кандидатов в депутаты городской думы. На самом деле проводились праймериз на выборы мэра Нижнего Новгорода.
Если исходить как из более или менее очевидного, что к реальной экономике и реальной модернизации «программное» выступление Медведева на форуме в северной столице отношения не имеет.
Любой, кто хоть чуть-чуть знаком с «технологиями» разведки и основами конспирации отлично знает главный закон разведсети – никаких горизонтальных связей!
In hosting the 2010 G-8 summit of major economies, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper called for an “accountability summit,” to hold the G-8 responsible for the promises that it made over the years. But the G-8 has neither fulfilled its promises, nor taken responsibility for its failure to do so.
Two years ago, sovereign wealth funds were the bogeymen of world finance – until the global financial crisis made worries about them seem to vanish. Now that the crisis is abating, concerns about the SWFs and their behavior are returning.
Fashion has been transformed by the recent emergence of retail chains that hire good designers to make throwaway clothing and accessories that are right on trend. But what has been liberating for Western women is a system built literally on the backs of women in the developing world.
Players should not be exempt from ethical criticism for what they do on the field, any more than they are exempt from ethical criticism for cheating off the field – for example, by taking performance-enhancing drugs.
Russian leaders harbor grand ambitions of nurturing innovation, luring great scientists back to the country, and catching up with the developed countries.
While most major economies in their early stages of growth suffered crises, China’s story seems abnormal (or accidental), and has elicited periodic predictions of an “upcoming crash.” But there is nothing more abnormal about China’s 30-year unbroken pattern of growth than effective macroeconomic intervention in boom times.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/project-syndicate/most_recent/en/~4/KOJmxDyRVFE" height="1" width="1"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/project-syndicate/most_recent/en/~4/sDDEXbkGnaU" height="1&qu
BERLIN -- Germany used to be at the heart of European integration. Its statesmen used to assert that Germany had no independent foreign policy, only a European policy. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, its leaders realized that German reunification was possible only in the context of a united Europe, and they were willing to make some sacrifices to secure European acceptance. Germans would contribute a little more and take a little less than others, thereby facilitating agreement.
The American Psychiatric Association’s official diagnostic manual – the DSM, often called the “bible of psychiatry” – in effect defines what is psychologically normal and abnormal in the US and, increasingly, in much of the rest of the world.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s visit to Ukraine on July 4-5 provides an important opportunity to re-affirm America's commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and democratic evolution.
European leaders, led by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, declared in May a systemic crisis of the euro, thereby invoking a clause of the EU Treaty intended to help member countries facing the effects of natural disaster.
The G-20 summit in Toronto is a chance for a long, hard look at how green investments are assisting economic recovery and job growth in many countries, while generating environmental gains as well, including on climate change.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s visit to Ukraine on July 4-5 provides an important opportunity to re-affirm America's commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and democratic evolution. Such a signal is of critical importance, because Ukraine’s hard-won independence and ability to pursue closer Euro-Atlantic ties are under threat.
European leaders, led by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, declared in May a systemic crisis of the euro, thereby invoking a clause of the EU Treaty intended to help member countries facing the effects of natural disaster. But there is no crisis of the euro, only a search by markets for a new equilibrium on interest-rate spreads – which are still far below pre-euro levels.
Like the French army in the spring of 1940, the French World Cup team’s strategy and technique were outmoded. Substituting war for soccer, the comparison that comes to mind is that of the aging French military establishment, behind the Maginot Line in 1940, unable to confront General Heinz Guderian’s masterful command of blitzkrieg tank attacks.
Barack Obama made a significant mistake in naming the Republican ex-senator Alan Simpson to co-chair the president’s deficit-reduction commission. Simpson was a noted budget arsonist when he was in the Senate, and he has recently expressed views that make no sense whatsoever.
Success breeds confidence, and rapid success produces arrogance. That, in a nutshell, is the problem that both Asia and the West face in China, whose unimpeded economic rise owes everything to its established status as a military power.
Players should not be exempt from ethical criticism for what they do on the field, any more than they are exempt from ethical criticism for cheating off the field – for example, by taking performance-enhancing drugs. Yet, in soccer, ethical rules don't seem to apply.
In these hard economic times, when ordinary people are struggling to make ends meet, there is a nagging sense that universities are luxuries. In fact, universities may be the most consistently high-performing products of long-term capital investment.
The conventional wisdom that sub-Saharan Africa has moved beyond military coups may be wishful thinking. In the past two years, Africa has seen successful coups in Niger, Guinea, Madagascar, and Mauritania, with a handful of indirect interventions, failed coups, and whispered threats elsewhere.
The oil company BP is discovering that American exceptionalism, when it runs rampant, is a tsunami to be avoided. But, while many Americans wrongly equate BP with Europe, and Europe with failure, it is nonetheless true that Europeans suffer the consequences of their own exceptionalist fantasy.
John Maynard Keynes' main contribution to social democracy lies not in the specifics of policy, but in his insistence that the state as ultimate protector of the public good has a duty to supplement and regulate market forces. Today, that means stopping financial markets from behaving badly.
Turkey’s growing relevance in the Middle East is the measure of the Arabs’ failure. As Islamist democracies whose governments emerge from popular elections, Iran and Turkey – and their Hamas and Hezbollah allies – can claim an advantage over the incumbent Arab regimes, all of which suffer from a desperately yawning legitimacy deficit.
Investors nowadays are not sure which to worry about more in the US: future inflation or future deflation. The good news is that the answer – for at least the next few years – is “neither.”

«Горячие темы» западных блогов – блеск и нищета Уоррена Баффета, снос домов ради жилья, банкротство BP, американский дефицит. // Дмитрий Балковский, специально для Bankir.Ru
Осознал ужасное - я за последний год дезадаптировался относительно летней Москвы. Тесноты, грязи, запахов макдональдса... Смотрю со смесью ужаса и отвращения. Весной все не так страшно. А вот летом - запах гниения.

The G-20 summit in Toronto is a chance for a long, hard look at how green investments are assisting economic recovery and job growth in many countries, while generating environmental gains as well, including on climate change. Leaders should re-affirm their recognition of the Green Economy’s power to create a fundamentally different development path for all countries.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s visit to Ukraine on July 4-5 provides an important opportunity to re-affirm America's commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and democratic evolution. Such a signal is of critical importance, because Ukraine’s hard-won independence and ability to pursue closer Euro-Atlantic ties are under threat.
European leaders, led by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, declared in May a systemic crisis of the euro, thereby invoking a clause of the EU Treaty intended to help member countries facing the effects of natural disaster. But there is no crisis of the euro, only a search by markets for a new equilibrium on interest-rate spreads – which are still far below pre-euro levels.
Like the French army in the spring of 1940, the French World Cup team’s strategy and technique were outmoded. Substituting war for soccer, the comparison that comes to mind is that of the aging French military establishment, behind the Maginot Line in 1940, unable to confront General Heinz Guderian’s masterful command of blitzkrieg tank attacks.
Barack Obama made a significant mistake in naming the Republican ex-senator Alan Simpson to co-chair the president’s deficit-reduction commission. Simpson was a noted budget arsonist when he was in the Senate, and he has recently expressed views that make no sense whatsoever.
Success breeds confidence, and rapid success produces arrogance. That, in a nutshell, is the problem that both Asia and the West face in China, whose unimpeded economic rise owes everything to its established status as a military power.
Players should not be exempt from ethical criticism for what they do on the field, any more than they are exempt from ethical criticism for cheating off the field – for example, by taking performance-enhancing drugs. Yet, in soccer, ethical rules don't seem to apply.
In these hard economic times, when ordinary people are struggling to make ends meet, there is a nagging sense that universities are luxuries. In fact, universities may be the most consistently high-performing products of long-term capital investment.
The conventional wisdom that sub-Saharan Africa has moved beyond military coups may be wishful thinking. In the past two years, Africa has seen successful coups in Niger, Guinea, Madagascar, and Mauritania, with a handful of indirect interventions, failed coups, and whispered threats elsewhere.
The oil company BP is discovering that American exceptionalism, when it runs rampant, is a tsunami to be avoided. But, while many Americans wrongly equate BP with Europe, and Europe with failure, it is nonetheless true that Europeans suffer the consequences of their own exceptionalist fantasy.
John Maynard Keynes' main contribution to social democracy lies not in the specifics of policy, but in his insistence that the state as ultimate protector of the public good has a duty to supplement and regulate market forces. Today, that means stopping financial markets from behaving badly.
Turkey’s growing relevance in the Middle East is the measure of the Arabs’ failure. As Islamist democracies whose governments emerge from popular elections, Iran and Turkey – and their Hamas and Hezbollah allies – can claim an advantage over the incumbent Arab regimes, all of which suffer from a desperately yawning legitimacy deficit.
Investors nowadays are not sure which to worry about more in the US: future inflation or future deflation. The good news is that the answer – for at least the next few years – is “neither.”

BERLIN -- Germany used to be at the heart of European integration. Its statesmen used to assert that Germany had no independent foreign policy, only a European policy. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, its leaders realized that German reunification was possible only in the context of a united Europe, and they were willing to make some sacrifices to secure European acceptance. Germans would contribute a little more and take a little less than others, thereby facilitating agreement.

Лето обещает быть беспокойным для членов партии «Единая Россия». Коммунисты будут отдыхать, справедливороссы будут отдыхать, «Правое дело» будет отдыхать, – а «Единая Россия» будет суетиться. Будут сводить мелкие счеты, писать заявы, и тому подобное.
Политическим лидером недели эксперты назвали мэра Дзержинска Виктора Портнова. Список неудачников возглавил глава администрации Канавинского района Нижнего Новгорода Борис Крохин.
