07/11/2013. Mauricio Rojas. The upcoming Chilean election of November 17 already has a clear winner. And I'm not referring to the person who will surely prevail in the election, Michelle Bachelet, but to the State, a State that promises to take care of our security, guarantee a wide range of rights, ensure better wages and good pensions, in sum, a big, powerful and generous benefactor State, like a mother who just wants our well-being and never abandons us. 

07/11/2013. Miguel Marín. Youth unemployment is a tragedy. It is so from an individual point of view because anyone who wants to work and cannot, suffers. And it is also a tragedy from a society standpoint, since when a certain level of magnitude and persistence over time is exceeded, youth unemployment curtails the potential for long-term economic growth and, with it, many opportunities for welfare and prosperity.

Giorgi Margvelashvilli's victory, of the Georgian Dream party, in the presidential elections of Georgia last October 27 with a large majority of 62% of the votes, has opened a new political cycle in this country of the South Caucasus.

28/10/2013. Javier Zarzalejos. I wouldn't want to point to anyone or anything in particular.

22/10/2013. Javier Zarzalejos. The judgement of the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) rules on a sensitive legal question in the worst possible way regarding the demands of justice and redress which should be faced by those real serial murderers who do not preach regret or show any sign of reintegration whatsoever.

17/10/2013. Carlota G. Encina. Nothing describes the current situation in Libya better than the bizarre hijacking episode of the country's Prime Minister, Ali Zeidan, carried out in theory by militias loyal to the government. After being released just a few hours later, Zeidan stated, in an understatement of events, that there was still plenty to do in Libya.

14/10/2013. Mira Milosevich. Joseph Nye defined power in political strategy as the ability to influence the behaviour of others in order to get what you want. He distinguished between hard power and soft power, stating that the former is the threat and, where appropriate, the use of military power, while the latter has to do with the peaceful ability to attract, convince or seduce.
