Hanging on
20 May 2011Presseurop
He who makes mistakes must pay the price. Ever since the crisis erupted five years ago, this key law of the market economy has been trampled on. Politicians must now decide between prosperity and morality, writes Die Zeit.
Economic power is not the only criterion for global power. What matters is how political systems respond to new crises. And from this perspective, the EU is still in with a chance, writes Dutch historian Dirk-Jan van Baar.
What if Greece leaves the EU? Professor George Prevelakis argues that it is an eventuality that would prompt a new geopolitical upset in the Balkans. As for the EU, it would be forced to acknowledge its inability to “Europeanise” a member state of 30 years standing.
After the demonstrations in Greece and the Indignados in Spain, popular protest has spread across Europe and, with the Occupy Wall Street movement, crossed the Atlantic. Be it direct or representative, the very idea of democracy is under scrutiny, says José Ignacio Torreblanca.
They demand transparency and direct democracy, and almost one in ten voters in Berlin gave them their vote. The Pirate Party is no longer just a party for Net-nerds in hoodies, but represents demands from across society.
Upping sticks to work elsewhere is a natural part of life in the United States. But not in Europe, where people are often afraid to move away from their home turf. A Swedish journalist argues that this lack of mobility is a handicap in the current crisis.
The announcement by Italy of a flow of Chinese capital rushing in to support the Italian economy has raised hopes of Beijing riding up to rescue the euro. We must be wary of false hopes, however, writes La Repubblica. China is a prudent and discriminating investor.
Euphoria is premature, as the West is fated to make the same mistakes as in Iraq, argues Robert Fisk. And if Gaddafi remains at large, a guerrilla war eroding the new powers becomes inevitable.
The fall of Tripoli marks a victory for NATO and the EU countries that supported the war. But Europe, divided and weakened by the euro crisis, will have to find ways to manage the post-Gaddafi era without bringing chaos to its southern border.
What you can look up, you needn’t commit to memory. This old maxim is one that drives Google's business today. But the Internet revolution is still in its infancy, and soon the material of our everyday lives could be fodder for search engines. We should be cautious about what we hand over, warns FAZ.
Faced with the euro crisis, world leaders look at best paralysed and at worst irresponsible. But a situation this serious needs heads of government who can take the bull by the horns.
Right up until the last moment, Democrats and Republicans continued to give free reign to the spectre of American sovereign default. However, a Czech economic analyst argues that the US economy is less vulnerable than the economies of Europe, which are much more hetrogeneous.
After years of playing a secondary role in the Arab world, the EU now has an opportunity to exert a positive influence in a region where the United States and Russia have failed to respond to radical change. An Al-Hayat columnist outlines how Europe can make a difference.
Both the EU and US have struggled to cope with the economic crisis in their own distinctive ways. A monumental error, argues Gideon Rachman, since their problems are essentially the same.
Clueless faced with the debt crisis, wavering in Libya and Afghanistan: Europe is not only weakening but also becoming a problem for the United States. Such is the harsh verdict delivered by the New York Times.
No sleaze, no overweening ego – Barack Obama is admired by Europeans because he personifies the possibility of intelligent, public-spirited leaders, a far cry from their own. But they ignore his actual record, argues a Guardian columnist.
