I wish there was a treaty we could sign
L. B., Treaty
I do not care who takes this bloody hill
I’m angry and I’m tired all the time
I wish there was a treaty, I wish there was a treaty
Between your love and mine

Understanding Brexit: Mansfield case study
Mansfield was selected as a case study of a town that has undergone significant industrial restructuring during the last four decades, following the decline of traditional industries such as coal mining and textiles. Mansfield still faces acute challenges in terms of attracting high value-added businesses and increasing the skills and earnings of the local population. the remarkably high share of the Leave vote in the area cannot be understood without taking into consideration some structural characteristics of the Mansfield economy in the post-coal mining period.

The End of Globalization
The 2016 U.S. presidential elections triggered emotions I had not felt for years. In 1998, Venezuela, where I’m from, elected a populist president who, like U.S. President Donald Trump, ran a campaign based on anti-establishment sentiments. Countries like Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Nicaragua followed suit, and I began to wonder about the extent to which the benefits of neo-liberalism were really reaching the general population. Systematic research on the possible “end of globalization” was not taken seriously, at least not by many of the Western drivers of today’s political-economic order. But now Brexit in the UK and Trump have shaken faith in the conventional wisdom and have many asking, “Is this the end?”

Pregled dogajanj v EU – od begunske krize do parlamentarnih selitev
Na vrhu šefov držav in vlad EU v Bruslju so se prejšnji teden uspeli dogovoriti o nadaljnjih ukrepih pri spopadanju z begunsko krizo v Evropi (sodelovanje s Turčijo, povečanje pristojnosti in nalog agencije EU za zunanje meje Frontex). O prihodnosti Velike Britanije v EU niso razpravljali, ker britanski premier Cameron za zdaj še ni predstavil svojih zahtev, zato bodo o tem razpravljali na decembrskem vrhu. Zunanji ministri EU so se odločili, da za štiri mesece zamrznejo sankcije proti predsedniku Belorusije Lukašenku ter 170 drugim osebam in 14 organizacijam. Skupina evropskih poslancev pod vodstvom nekdanje poslanke Strasbourga Catherinne Trautmann, ki se zavzema za dokončno selitev Parlamenta iz Bruslja v Strasbourg, pa naj bi še v tem mesecu predstavila svoje načrte.
