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 [...]
Why did Germany abstain at the United Nations? Germany was the only NATO/EU member to abstain together Russia, China, Brasil, India. Result: no common EU foreign policy (Ashton being absent from the wider debate anyway) despite the good opportunity for an interesting ESDP mission. The US seems to support the resolution but does not want [...]
And the story of OpenLeaks begins… with a leak of the website content. You could not make it up. Probably the website will go live rather soon. Anyway, check it out if you can’t wait anymore. It is a good summary of what openleaks is about, what it intends to do and how it differs [...]
Kosmolinks returns with a selection of the best wikileaks/cablegate articles/links. (see my initial reaction on cablegate/wikileaks here and some links to Julian Assange’s writings here).

They named it Cablegate and indeed it is a unprecedented leak of diplomatic material. Some initial thoughts (written at 3 am – sorry for the typos and [...]
Here is a short ACTA explanation in “plain English” by Public Knowledge’s Legal Director Harold Feld. Five minutes with Harold Feld – because this stuff is important – and you need to know. Oh, and this is not only a matter for the US, in fact the EU has been quite active in the negotiations [...]
The third edition of Th!nk about it has been announced. It is a blogging competition run by the European Journalism Centre which will focus on on the developing world and the Millennium Development Goals (MDG): The competition will bring together journalists, journalism students, academics and experts from 27 EU Member States, neighbourhood countries and beyond, [...]
OK, I admit it: I am a fan of those graphics. Here is another one that shows how walls divide the world and where the most ‘secure’ borders are located. (via TD): Accelerated through the fear from the attacks of 9/11 and all what followed, the so called ‘Western Society’ is constructing the greatest wall [...]
