Hello!
I know that we are speaking of Europe, but some things are left in writing. written 1 Thing, written 2 Thing, Thing written 3 . In a European perspective
not miss the nice 'strip' invented twitter summarizing the negotiations on the EU budget and the current state of impasse. " Read it at the fantastic blog 'L'expérience européenne' .
also because I have a few days following the theme of 'European Defence', I advise you to you read the latest , especially paper that Germany and Sweden have taken to 'offset' tactics 'individualistic' Great Britain and France on the subject ...
We've said that one of the possible consequences of Anglo-French bilateral agreement would be the mobilization of other Member States. Except that some do it through diplomatic channels and state, others by way 'community'.
Finally two articles in the eurosfera offering a positive vision and a more critical about the historic filtration made by Wikileaks (Article 'critical' in the blog 'A bit more Complicated', where an interesting reflection on privacy as a value to protect and context, and the article in Europa451 in defense of international transparency and consistency between a public position and covert diplomatic strategies.) Personally I still think that the politics of today and the 'democratization' of our societies is to leave to make distinctions between 'off' and 'on'. One I can use a different tone and adapted to each situation, but in the digital age and in an open, transparent and mature, the liar and manipulator and has nowhere to hide (and more if they come to abuse of power, cover-up or judicial pressure-elements that may pose legal evidence of criminal conduct-). In that sense I still think that the leaks have rendered meaningless by reflect the content (and not so much for his character 'secret' or vocabulary irresponsible sometimes show as being in part a conversation 'private', but by the truths that shine and are inconsistent with the versions that are used to 'legitimate' certain political decisions). (On this I wrote a post a few days ago, and I advise the same line position 'middle' blog ' l'Européen Fabien').
The truth is that there is such a wealth of information, and almost all relevant times from what little I've read, I do not know which way to go: Special El País, Le Monde Special , The Guardian Special , New York Times Special . We are in a dream situation for analysts and historians, and sociological and political implications more deeply that we think a priori. Under these conditions perhaps see an end of 'diplomacy' ... I am also sure that more than one will think twice before 'play' the empires and to suggest-even in private, any strategy for handling the principles of legality and international legitimacy.
