16 Government Types - Infographic Facts 16 Government Types The Way Governments Works Calais, Chypre, Estonie… Les murs envahissent peu à peu notre planète Les cloisons se dressent sur la planète, marquant les frontières, séparant les populations. Mais pourquoi mettons-nous autant d’énergie à nous emmurer ? Donald Trump n’est pas le seul à rêver d’un mur hermétique pour fermer ses frontières. Depuis la chute du mur de Berlin, une quarantaine de pays ont construit de telles barricades. Alors qu’on dénombrait 16 murs en 1989, on en compte près de 70 aujourd’hui. Au moins 30 constructions ont été décidées après le 11 septembre 2001 et 15 depuis 2015. A Nicosie, le plus vieux mur d’Europe « Le jeu, c’était de bien se cacher et de ne jamais être vue par les soldats, ni les grecs ni les turcs. « A l’école, on n’apprend qu’une seule version de l’histoire. Nicosie, la capitale de Chypre, est coupée depuis 1974 par la « ligne verte » tracée par les Nations unies à la suite de l’invasion par l’armée turque de la partie nord du territoire, après que la Grèce a tenté de forcer son annexion. Estonie, une cloison en gestation
Terrorisme en Europe : moins de morts au XXIe siècle que dans les années 1980 et 1990 Le Monde.fr | • Mis à jour le | Par Les Décodeurs Malgré les attentats survenus le 13 novembre en France, qui rappellent de tristes précédents (attentats de Madrid en 2004, de Londres en 2005, d’Uttoya en 2011...), on ne peut pas dire que l’Europe occidentale est plus touchée par le terrorisme ces dernières années qu’à la fin du siècle précédent. En réalité, on décompte moins de morts liés à des attaques entre 2001 et 2015 que dans les quinze ans précédents (1986-2000). L’année 1988 a notamment été endeuillée par l’attentat de Lockerbie. Au XXIe siècle, l’Europe a dénombré 592 morts dus à des attentats terroristes, dont 168 en France, selon la Global terrorism database. A l’échelle de la France en revanche, 2015 est de loin l’année la plus meurtrière depuis la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale.
Synarchism Synarchism generally means "joint rule" or "harmonious rule". Beyond this general definition, both synarchism and synarchy have been used to denote rule by a secret elite in Vichy France, Italy, China, Hong Kong and Mexico.[1] Origins[edit] The earliest recorded use of the term synarchy is attributed to Thomas Stackhouse (1677–1752), an English clergyman who used the word in his New History of the Holy Bible from the Beginning of the World to the Establishment of Christianity (published in two folio volumes in 1737). The attribution can be found in the Webster's Dictionary (the American Dictionary of the English Language, published by Noah Webster in 1828). Webster's definition for synarchy is limited entirely to "joint rule or sovereignty". Rule by a secret elite[edit] In Vichy France[edit] This theory allegedly originated with the discovery of a document called Pacte Synarchique following the death (May 19, 1941) of Jean Coutrot, former member of Groupe X-Crise, on May 15, 1941.
Left–right political spectrum The left–right political spectrum is a system of classifying political positions, ideologies and parties, from equality on the left to social hierarchy on the right.[1] Left-wing politics and right-wing politics are often presented as opposed, although a particular individual or group may take a left-wing stance on one matter and a right-wing stance on another; and some stances may overlap and be considered either left- or right-wing depending on the ideology.[2] In France, where the terms originated, the Left has been called "the party of movement" and the Right "the party of order".[3][4][5][6] The intermediate stance is called centrism and a person with such a position is a moderate or centrist. History of the terms[edit] By 1914, the Left half of the legislature in France was composed of Unified Socialists, Republican Socialists and Socialist Radicals, while the parties that were called "Left" now sat on the right side. Ideological groupings across the spectrum[edit] See also[edit]
Terror management theory Social and evolutionary psychology theory Terror management theory (TMT) is both a social and evolutionary psychology theory originally proposed by Jeff Greenberg, Sheldon Solomon, and Tom Pyszczynski[1] and codified in their book The Worm at the Core: On the Role of Death in Life (2015). It proposes that a basic psychological conflict results from having a self-preservation instinct while realizing that death is inevitable and to some extent unpredictable. The most obvious examples of cultural values that assuage death anxiety are those that purport to offer literal immortality (eg, belief in the afterlife through religion).[3] However, TMT also argues that other cultural values – including those that are seemingly unrelated to death – offer symbolic immortality. Terror management theory was developed by social psychologists Greenberg, Solomon, and Pyszczynski.

utopian questionnaire Hoo. I'm temporarily befuddled and dazed by all the hard thinking I and others have put into large questions related to building the New Nice Totalitarian World State. Eden figured largely in the question, as alternative, source, hope, antonym, etc. The best thinker about Eden in a practical way, I think, is W.H. Auden in his essay "Dingley Dell and the Fleet" included in The Dyer's Hand (Vintage edition, 1968 [speaking of Eden], the one I have.) In addition to the thoughts in that essay, Auden opened the book with a roundup of ideas about writing and reading, in which he asserts that "the judgments, aesthetic or moral,that we pass, however objective we try to make them, are in part a rationalization and in part a corrective discipline of our subjective wishes. " So long as a man writes poetry or fiction, his dreams of Eden are his own business, but when he writes criticism he ought to describe his Eden so that others can judge it and him.

Swarmwise – The Tactical Manual To Changing The World. Chapter Two. Launching a swarm is an intense event, where you can get hundreds or thousands of new colleagues in less than a day. You have a very short window for appreciating their interest, or they will take it elsewhere. OK, so you have a provocative idea. A traditional method would be to go about an advertising campaign to generate interest. On the other hand, a swarm will form as long as you present a compelling enough idea that people feel that they can be part of. To traditional marketers, this sounds ridiculous. When I started the Pirate Party in Sweden, I took its website online and wrote two lines in a file-sharing hub’s lobby chat. Hey, look, the Pirate Party has its website up after New Year’s. The site had a manifesto which was rough and unpolished, but which came across as credible, tangible, inclusive, and world changing. The first website of the Pirate Party, translated for reference. And that’s it. Don’t worry about advertising. Onward to chapter 3 >>

Gapminder: Gapminder Foundation is fighting devastating ignorance with a fact-based worldview that everyone can understand. L'Afrique, continent fantasmé Les réactions suscitées par l’épidémie d’Ebola le montrent : l’Afrique effraie autant qu’elle fascine, comme si elle méritait un traitement à part dans la mondialisation. L’épidémie d’Ebola qui sévit en Afrique de l’Ouest depuis six mois oblige à repenser nos représentations de l’Afrique. L’image donnée par les médias, en effet, enferme à nouveau le continent dans une sorte de fatalité de la malédiction, qui tranche singulièrement avec les visions enthousiastes de ces dernières années. Une extraordinaire hétérogénéité Pourtant, cette maladie, malgré ses manifestations effrayantes et l’absence de traitement, est en réalité beaucoup moins contagieuse que toutes celles qui se diffusent par aérosols, comme la tuberculose ou la grippe : pour la contracter, il faut être en contact direct avec un fluide corporel d’un malade (les 5 S : sang, sperme, salive, selles, sueur). Ses trois visages Trois représentations de l’Afrique se chevauchent et se superposent ainsi dans la mondialisation.
Ceriscope - Sciences Politiques The Second Amendment Was Never Meant to Protect an Individual’s Right to a Gun This post originally appeared at The Nation. Gun rights activists gather at a public pavilion prior to a march to the Ferguson Police station on November 16, 2015 in Ferguson, Missouri. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images) In common with the other big rightward swerves by the Roberts Court, the 2008 ruling in District of Columbia v. The National Rifle Association had been waging an intense 30-year campaign to secure an individual’s constitutional right to keep and bear arms by winning over members of the public, high-level politicians and, ultimately, the Supreme Court. Heller’s 5–4 majority decision, written by Justice Antonin Scalia and joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, was less in sync with the founding generation than with the top priority of a powerful interest group closely aligned with the Republican right. As radical as the holding is, the majority could have done even more damage. The Nation.
Post-politics Post-politics refers to the critique of the emergence, in the post-Cold War period, of a politics of consensus on a global scale: the dissolution of the Eastern Communist bloc following the collapse of the Berlin Wall instituted a promise for post-ideological consensus. The political development in post-communist countries went two different directions depending on the approach each of them take on dealing with the communist party members. Active decommunisation process took place in Eastern European states which later joined EU. While in Russia and majority of former USSR republics communists became one of many political parties on equal grounds. Roots of the post-political consensus[edit] The global political landscape post-1989[edit] The disintegration of the Eastern communist bloc following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 announced the end of the Cold War era, and with it the great ideological stand-off between East and West, between the communist and capitalist worlds.
