Everything you need to know about diplomacy. I just found a hilarious one pager on “Terms used in multilateral negotiations and what they usually mean” – In fact I found it in my cupboard in a file that is 5-6 years old. After some googeling I found a very similar version in a 2009 book [...]
Sorry, time for a selfish plug. A post best characterised as a self-congratulatory ego trip which is so typical for the blogosphere - well, at least some would say that. In case you have not seen it, a couple of days ago my post on German UN diplomacy on Libya was featured here. Actually a [...]

Cameron will not risk it as he seems to be afraid of a negative [...]
In December 2010, the mysterious Brusselsleaks website appeared. The idea was simple: Think of wikileaks in a EU/Brussels context. Now BrusselsLeaks is back with a new website and a new logo! Well, the logo is rather basic and it looks like the Ukrainian flag turned upside down. A couple of weeks ago we wrote a lenghty [...]
Yes, this was the question. And after several months of contemplation I decided to give it a try! So, what is this flattr thingy you might ask – apart from all these little buttons? Well, it is a newish social micro payment system and provides an easy way to share money and make small donations. [...]
