The European Commission’s Internet platforms consultation later this month will seek opinions on a broad range of topics — from transparency and security to cloud computing and the sharing economy, according to a draft questionnaire seen by POLITICO.
Varoufakis’ fans get ready! The ex finance minister is preparing to launch a European movement that will develop into a political party. Yanis Varoufakis will push for a Pan-Εuropean network for fight austerity. Instead of running for the upcoming elections, he will put his energy into political action on European level.
by Chiara Camponeschi and Hillete Warner There are countless ways vibrant neighbourhoods and strong communities help people live better lives. In the age of “connected loneliness,” having neighbours to borrow that proverbial cup of sugar from is not only a way to share resources more effectively, but a great way to see the neighbourhood itself transformed into a powerful resource in its own right.
Whenever you are in a room with European officials and discuss the euro, there is usually somebody who raises his finger and says: “This is all well and good, but it is ‘against the rules’.” It then gets very quiet. “Against the rules” is a big
“A progressive Europe—the Europe of sustainable growth and social cohesion—would be one thing. The gridlocked, reactionary, petty, and vicious Europe that actually exists is another. It cannot and should not last for very long.”
The Düsseldorf-born philosopher, a former assistant of the prominent Frankfurt School theorist Theodor Adorno, rose to prominence during the student protests in the late 1960s. His works on the establishment of a pan-European political and cultural identity, such as Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere, went on to influence and shape policy debate around the European Union. At the start of the millennium, Habermas was one of the leading drivers behind calls for a European constitution.
Angela Merkel and Jean-Claude Juncker seek to justify their Greek bailout deal, but what kind of family asset-strips one of its members in broad daylight?
"How can we address the high prices of medicines that are straining health budgets? How can openly sharing green knowledge help an agreement at the climate change talks in Paris this year? How could TTIP further privatize knowledge and what can we do about it? What does it mean to say the Internet belongs to everyone?
The citizens of Greece face a referendum Sunday that could decide the survival of their elected government and the fate of the country in the Eurozone and Europe. Narrowly, they're voting on whether to accept or reject the terms dictated by their creditors last week. But what's really at stake? The answers aren't what you'd think.
"The discussion list “Effimera: criticism and subversion of the present”, proposes a meeting/workshop on AGAINST CRISIS, SUBVERT UNHAPPINESS . Analysis of failure and a map of existential collective escape routes in Europe - October, 3-4, 2015, Milan (Italy)
We now produce as much data every day as we used to in years, or even centuries: not only scientific data but also data about our surroundings in our daily lives.
George Monbiot: The UK government’s bid to weaken EU laws to limit toxic pollution wouldn’t appear in any manifesto. It reveals a party working in the interests of corporate coal rather than the public
The Commons encourages the democratic governance of knowledge for the common good and identifies it as a shared resource and collective responsibility.
Whether the crushing of Syriza in Greece for daring to challenge the dominant narrative of the crisis would help or hinder the emergence of a movement for the long awaited political reform of Europe remains to be seen. The only ‘contradiction’ that remains in the eurozone is the utopian expectation that a monetary union will work under German hegemony without political union. ‘Muddling-through’ is no substitute for rational policymaking in the second largest economy in the world.
Open Science in EU projects. The European Commission published a report on a public consultation on Open Science and how it affects Horizon 2020 projects
After a bruising few days, the Greek government has come up with a new proposal. Helped by the French, who appear to have decided that under no circumstances should Greece be forced out of the Euro, they have produced a detailed document that includes commitments to reform of pensions and taxation. The distinction between this and the European Commission’s unofficial proposal of June 26th is vanishingly small: longer timeframes for elimination of the EKAS supplementary pension and ending of VAT subsidies for the islands makes this proposal a little less like a cliff edge, but as far as I can see that’s about the only difference. Faced with a stark choice between crossing its “red lines” or being forced out of the Euro, the Greek government has caved in.
For many decades, the view was widespread on the left that there was a distinct European variety of capitalism which could be positively contrasted with the Anglo-American more 'free market' variety. The labour movements of northern Europe were usually seen as being the decisive force behind greater state economic involvement, more capitalist cooperation with unions, and more egalitarian social welfare and labour market regimes.
Paul Mason: Sunday’s referendum is taking place against the background of a kind of financial warfare. If the idea is to terrorise the population, it has only half worked
