 * * * * AI AND THE TECHNO-UTOPIAN PATH NOT TAKEN
         
         Evgeny Morozov, August 2024  
         When artificial intelligence emerged in the mid-1950s, enhancing human
         potential was not on the agenda. However, some technological pioneers
         dared to think differently. →
     
     
     * * SYRIAN REFUGEES AREN’T WELCOME IN LEBANON
         
         Charles Lawrie, August 2024
         As Israel’s war on Gaza grinds on, hostilities between the Israel
         Defence Forces and Hizbullah in Lebanon are escalating (see The
         Lebanese don’t want war with Israel. Does Hizbullah?, in this issue).
         In their shadow, the Western press has barely covered the spectre of
         the deportation of Lebanon’s (...) →
       
       
       * ‘JUST CALM DOWN’
         
         Benoît Bréville, August 2024
         Since Emmanuel Macron dissolved France’s National Assembly, tensions
         have been running high. Politicians have been attacked, their offices
         vandalised and activists beaten up. Threats proliferate online;
         political leaders trade insults. In the media, journalists and
         commentators fret that a surge in political violence could (...) →
       
       
       * SOUTH PACIFIC: THE FIGHT FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE
         
         Géraldine Giraudeau, August 2024  
         As major powers jockey for position in the Indo-Pacific, the region’s
         smaller states face catastrophic climate change. →
     * 
   * * Current issue: August 2024
       …Middle East, Hizbullah and the heightening tensions on
       the Israel/Lebanon border; China, the big player in the Balkans; South
       Pacific, are its resources a blessing or curse? exactly where did the AI
       path divide? being Jewish in South Africa under
       apartheid; California fights to keep its beautiful beaches accessible to
       all; why does Argentina have the highest concentration of shrinks in the
       world? Franco-German TV channel Arte, in search of viewers; art of the
       immersive, want to step inside your favourite painting?…
   
   
   * * THE LEBANESE DON’T WANT WAR WITH ISRAEL. DOES HIZBULLAH?
       
       Emmanuel Haddad, August 2024  
       Rising tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border may provoke regional war,
       meaning devastation in (...) →
   
   
   * * SOUTH AFRICA: WHEN APARTHEID MET ZIONISM
       
       Charlotte Wiedemann, August 2024
       What does it mean to be Jewish in a country that sees Israel through the
       lens of its own experience of apartheid? →
   * 


 * * * CALIFORNIA’S DISAPPEARING BEACHES
       
       Isabelle Bruno & Grégory Salle, August 2024  
       Californians love their coast – what leisure activity could be more
       democratic than going to the beach? In reality, wealthy landowners are
       doing their utmost to keep beachfront spaces private and exclusive. →
   
   
   * * ISMAIL HANIYEH ASSASSINATED
       
       Wendy Kristianasen, June 2006
       Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh has been killed in Tehran, Iran,
       where he had been attending the presidential inauguration. One of the
       three Hamas leaders who the International Criminal Court (ICC) (...) →
     
     
     * A GREEN REVOLUTION FOR THE COOK ISLANDS?
       
       Glen Johnson, August 2024  
       The Cook Islands are on the front line of climate change: their
       inhabitants are already experiencing the brunt of its impacts. So will
       their offshore mineral riches prove a blessing or a curse? →
     
     
     * SUBSTANCE BEHIND THE SENSATION?
       
       Evelyne Pieiller, August 2024  
   
   
   * * ARGENTINA ON THE COUCH
       
       Anne-Dominique Correa, August 2024  
       Political upheavals, economic crises and military juntas have all taken
       their toll on Argentinians’ mental health. No wonder, then, that the
       country has the world’s highest concentration of therapists. →


* * CRONY CAPITALISM IN MODI’S INDIA
    
    Camille Auvray, April 2024

  * ITALY RETURNS TO THE OLD AUSTERITY POLITICS
    
    Stefano Palombarini, April 2021
    After experimenting with having Brussels manage the far right within the
    Draghi government, Italy’s next trick may be to elect a government led by

* * ARTE: ALL IN THE BEST POSSIBLE TASTE
    
    David Garcia, August 2024  
    Franco-German television channel Arte had plans to democratise European
    culture. But then its politics settled into a cliquey Atlanticism. →


* * CHINA UPS ITS STAKE IN THE BALKANS
    
    Jean-Arnault Dérens & Laurent Geslin, August 2024  
    For a decade, over half of China’s investment in Europe has gone to the
    Balkans, particularly Serbia. The priority sectors are energy,
    infrastructure and mining, with scant regard to environmental impacts. →

  * RACE TO UNBLOCK EXPORT BOTTLENECK IN UKRAINE
    
    Élisa Perrigueur, July 2022
    If Ukraine’s ports are not re-opened soon, its grain reserves will rot and
    African countries may face famine and food riots. For now, exports mainly
    rely on a dilapidated land transport system. →

IMMIGRATION: A WORLD OF ILLUSIONS, CONFRONTATION AND INSTRUMENTALISATION

‘Immigrant invasion’, the ‘rush to Europe’, the ‘great replacement’ — a spectre
is haunting the West, the spectre of people seeking social housing and benefits.
But who are these immigrants? Where are they going, and what are they escaping?
Why do they take such great risks? Political leaders in the UK, France, (...) →
