Democracy in Distress
Dominique Moisi Series: European Observer 2012-01-13Is democratic time too slow to respond to crises, and too short to plan for the long term?

A Russian Spring?
Dominique Moisi Series: European Observer 2011-12-30Russia is not Egypt, and Moscow is not on the eve of revolution as Cairo was less than a year ago.

America in the Asian Century
Dominique Moisi Series: European Observer 2011-11-15
Paradoxically, only a more confident America can accept a reduced global status, because reconciling oneself to change is always easier once one has taken the steps needed to adjust to it.

Sorry States
Dominique Moisi Series: European Observer 2011-10-19National repentance is in the news again, as it has with remarkable frequency in recent years.

Turkey, not the EU, is currently making its presence felt in the world.

What Failed in Norway?
Dominique Moisi Series: European Observer 2011-07-29
It would be facile to link the tragedy in Norway solely to the rise of far-right political forces there, but it would be naïve to rule out any connection between the two phenomena. We know all too well what horrors grow from the combination of fear, hatred, and de-humanization.... read Comments: 0 Recommended: 0 Read: 11104 -
Israel’s Lonely Prosperity
Dominique Moisi Series: European Observer 2011-07-27It is difficult not to be struck by the contrast between the “Asian”-like energy of Israel’s economy and civil society and the purely defensive nature of its approach to political change, both within and outside the country. While Israel has never been so affluent, dynamic, and confident, it also has never been so isolated internationally.... read Comments: 3 Recommended: 1 Read: 15986 -
A Europe of Women?
Dominique Moisi Series: European Observer
2011-06-22
In economic-development circles, experience and common sense suggest that progress, accountability, and hard work starts with and depends on women.
