In a way, the decline of the center-left was somewhat foreseeable. The market-regulatory policies ushered in by the center-left after World War II created a remarkable period of stability within the European economy.

The Death of the European Center-Left BY ANDY WANG
Can Europe’s Center Left Survive Another Crisis? BY DANIEL FINN
The Great Recession sent Europe’s social-democratic parties into a tailspin, exposing the contradictions of their political model. Now they face the pressure of another economic downturn, without having recovered from the last one or developed a convincing new vision.
Ψήφος Αποδήμων - Ώρα για οριστική λύση | Του Δημήτρη Αβραμόπουλου
To ζήτημα της ψήφου των αποδήμων, θα έπρεπε να έχει κλείσει οριστικά, εξασφαλίζοντας στους Έλληνες της δισποράς τα αυτονόητά τους δικαιώματα, Παρόλα αυτά, επανέρχεται στην επικαιρότητα. Η μικροκομματική του διαχείρηση από την πλευρά του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ προκαλεί προβληματισμό για την ίδια τη λειτουργία του πολιτικού μας συστήματος· υπονομεύει το θεσμικό του υπόβαθρο και αναδεικνύει τον κομματικό του χαρακτήρα.
The Future of the Dollar U.S. Financial Power Depends on Washington, Not Beijing By Henry M. Paulson Jr. May 19, 2020
International investors immediately sought refuge in the U.S. dollar, just as they had done during the 2008 financial crisis, and the U.S. Federal Reserve had to make huge sums of dollars available to its global counterparts. Seventy-five years after the end of World War II, the primacy of the dollar has not waned.
The Right Way to Fix the EU Put Politics Before Economics By Matthias Matthijs, 18/5/2020
On the continent, most consider the British decision to leave a tragic mistake. Even so, the Brexiteers’ core contention—that the European Economic Community they joined in 1973 has grown far beyond an international union of sovereign states and into something far more ambitious and intrusive—is hard to deny.
Europe needs to be a superpower, not a superstate by Timothy Garton Ash, 11/5/2020
Faced with an increasingly powerful and authoritarian China, global warming, the potentially existential challenge of AI, not to mention an aggressive Russia, chaotic Middle East and Trumpian United States, this argument is more compelling than ever. In a world of giants, you need to be a giant yourself. If we Europeans don’t hang together, we will hang separately.
The New Spheres of Influence - Sharing the Globe With Other Great Powers By Graham Allison
In the heady aftermath of the Cold War, American policymakers pronounced one of the fundamental concepts of geopolitics obsolete. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice described a new world “in which great power is defined not by spheres of influence . . . or the strong imposing their will on the weak.” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared that “the United States does not recognize spheres of influence.”
The Pandemic Will Accelerate History Rather Than Reshape It Not Every Crisis Is a Turning Point by Richard Haass, 7 April 2020
We are going through what by every measure is a great crisis, so it is natural to assume that it will prove to be a turning point in modern history. In the months since the appearance of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, analysts have differed over the type of world the pandemic will leave in its wake.
Old Divisions Threaten Europe’s Economic Response to the Coronavirus by Erik Jones, 6 April 2020
On March 18, the European Central Bank announced that it will buy an additional 750 billion euros’ worth of European corporate and government bonds this year. That means the ECB will spend a total of 1.1 trillion euros on eurozone bonds over the next nine months, the most it has ever spent on assets in so short a period of time.
Οι ήρωες πίσω από τις μάσκες του Αλέξη Παπαχελά, 5/4/2020
Θα έχουμε πολλές «Θερμοπύλες» μπροστά μας ως χώρα. Η ηγεσία είναι στοιχείο απαραίτητο και, ευτυχώς, το έχουμε στον τόπο μας σήμερα. Οι «Θερμοπύλες» όμως, είτε στις εντατικές είτε στον Εβρο, δεν κρατούν χωρίς τους ήρωες της πρώτης γραμμής καλοπληρωμένους, καλά εξοπλισμένους και με μια κοινωνία στοιχισμένη πίσω τους!
For Autocrats, and Others, Coronavirus Is a Chance to Grab Even More Power, The New York Times 31/3/2020
In Hungary, the prime minister can now rule by decree. In Britain, ministers have what a critic called “eye-watering” power to detain people and close borders.
Democracy in critical care as coronavirus disrupts governments, Politico 24/3/2020
