MoreJune 15, 2009 | Economic Crisis not Severe Enough to Change Kremlin PolicyEditorial Team: In the third part of our survey, experts agree that the economic crisis is a small window of opportunity for enhanced Western-Russian cooperation, but not (yet) severe enough to make Moscow more amenable. The Kremlin might continue with its assertive foreign policy to deflect from increasing social tensions. ... MoreMay 20, 2009 | Is Western Civilization in a State of Decline?Florian Kuhne: The global financial crisis is just one of many issues the West is facing which could mean it has met the “limits of growth”.

MoreApril 23, 2009 | Future of Democracy in Question After Financial CrisisBijan Daniel Khezri: Blind faith in democracy is coming to an end.

MoreApril 17, 2009 | Greening the DebtJakob von Weizsäcker: It is still possible to stop climate change in this current economic environment.

MoreGlobal Must Read ArticlesDecember 19, 2011 | 2012: An Economic Apocalypse?The economic outlook for 2012 is clear: everyone is in trouble. ++ The Eurozone is certain to recede further, which will also put pressure on the economic downturn in the US; the UK is majorly exposed. ++ China’s model is stalling, and its refusal to let the Yuan appreciate could trigger one of several trade wars. ++ Weak governments and popular unrest have made it difficult for countries ... MoreNovember 11, 2010 | G-20 Summit Should Not Overlook Poorest CountriesSouth Korea will be hosting the November 2010 G-20 Summit. ++ In this regard, the developed economies should focus on the needs of the world’s poorest countries, as they too are crucial to “rebalance” the global economy and restructure financial institutions. ++ The recent success stories among some low-income countries such as Sub-Saharan Africa show a positive economic trend. ++ What is ... MoreJune 29, 2009 | Strong UN Agreement on Crisis a Step ForwardA landmark agreement by all 192 UN states on the financial crisis last week was a small but important step forward as it acknowledges our global interdependence. ++ The UN said “we have allowed economic globalisation to outpace political globalisation - we do not have the institutions or the mindset to respond collectively in ways that advance the wellbeing of all” in a communiqué more ...

MoreApril 21, 2009 | China on Track to Be Global Financial LeaderThe global financial crisis has highlighted both the decline of the US and the dependence of the world on China’s economy. ++ Given that reform is inevitable, China will be a central player in whatever new global financial architecture emerges from the present crisis. ++ Five years ago, China was not even included in discussions on such matters. ++ Apart from reform to the IMF and the World ...
