American brain drain?

1 week ago | ips-journal.eu | Polly Toynbee

Never let a good crisis go to waste. The crazier America seems, the more attractively sane Europe looks to much of the world. Expect a fall in US influence in culture and social attitudes, its soft power fading fast as well as its financial force. Here is where Europe will find itself a magnetic draw for those turning away in revulsion from Donald Trump’s US. One of Europe’s , with 1.66 million students from abroad studying at EU universities.
‘US sanctions remain the biggest obstacle’

1 week ago | ips-journal.eu | Jihad Yazigi

Western sanctions against Syria were initially imposed to target the Assad regime. Why are they still in place today? Sanctions were indeed imposed to target the Assad regime, but in a specific context: Bashar al-Assad’s violent repression of peaceful Syrians demanding political change. However, the context changed dramatically — the protests escalated into a complex civil war and a regional conflict involving proxy wars, radical Islamist groups and chemical weapons attacks.
ECOWAS: Fifty and fractured

2 weeks ago | ips-journal.eu | Zikora Ibeh

Unless last-minute diplomatic efforts can save the day, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) looks set to mark its 50th anniversary next month not only three member states short but also facing the onset of a trade war that threatens to undo its decades-long efforts at achieving regional integration and free trade. Since July 2023, the 15-member regional bloc founded in 1975 has been gripped by a crisis of legitimacy over its stance on the wave of military coups in the region.
The streets demand justice

1 month ago | ips-journal.eu | Nikola Mikovic

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić seems invincible. Over the past 13 years – during which he has ruled the Balkan nation as first deputy prime minister, prime minister and president – he always managed to find a way out of various political crises. But will he politically survive the ongoing student-led anti-corruption protests? Ever since Vučić came to power in 2012, Serbia has faced numerous anti-government protests.
Trolls of the state

1 month ago | ips-journal.eu | Kourosh Ziabari

Long before Elon Musk took over Twitter for an unbeatable handout of $44 billion only to rename it to X, hate speech had cast an ominous shadow on the Persian-language social media space. With the futuristic magnet’s dismissal of half of the company’s , 80 per cent of the engineers in the trust and safety department and almost the whole Ethical AI team, the floodgates of abusive language employed by users posting in Persian were opened.
How women should behave

1 month ago | ips-journal.eu | Michael Tesler |John Sides |Colette Marcellin

The 2024 election felt like more than just a victory for President Trump. It felt like a victory for a traditional view of gender roles. Trump certainly shares that view. During the campaign, he declared that women liked him because he was their ‘protector.’ He called the satellite radio host Howard Stern a ‘BETA MALE’ after Stern criticised him.
Fossil fuel supermajors in Nigeria: fleeing the crime scene

1 month ago | ips-journal.eu | Zikora Ibeh

In a move redolent of organised crime syndicates, fossil fuel supermajors operating in Nigeria’s oil industry are scrambling to ditch their crime scene, the Niger Delta from which they have been drilling the black gold with devastating effectiveness for 60 years, in order to start afresh somewhere else. By doing so, they would be abandoning millions of locals and villagers to deal with the colossal pollution and environmental degradation they are leaving behind.
Greece two years after Tempi

1 month ago | ips-journal.eu | Nick Malkoutzis

Mass protests are expected in Athens and dozens of other Greek cities and towns on 28 February, the second anniversary of the train crash near Tempi, central Greece, which caused the deaths of 57 people. It was the country’s worst rail disaster and a moment that shook the nation, but what has followed has compounded the human tragedy and fermented a political crisis.
Vučić’s balancing act nears its end

Jan 17, 2025 | ips-journal.eu | Nikola Mikovic

Faced with student-led anti-corruption protests, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić seems to count on foreign support to maintain his legitimacy. He is one of the very few leaders who appears to be equally backed by both Russia and the United States. But what does he have to offer them in exchange?
The economic consequences of Trump 2.0

Jan 13, 2025 | ips-journal.eu | Simon Johnson

US President-elect Donald Trump’s second administration starts at noon on 20 January. Trump’s non-stop election campaign since losing to Joe Biden in 2020 suggests a better organised redo of his first term, with the same focus on tax cuts to boost the economy, higher tariffs to reshape US trade with the world and deporting as many immigrants as possible to generate more opportunities for American workers. But times have changed, and reality is unlikely to match rhetoric.
