On 5 September in Minsk, the Government of Ukraine and the pro-Russian separatists signed a ceasefire agreement previously negotiated between the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, and the Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko. This agreement portrays a new phase of the Ukrainian crisis: in the first place, NATO, the USA. and the European Union have definitively ruled out a military pulse with Russia to avoid the escalation to a possible armed confrontation. Meanwhile, the Government of Kiev has acknowledged that they have lost control of the South-East and has yielded to Russian military pressure. Finally, the agreement involves the establishment on pragmatic reality, rather than a moral and democratic vision. But this new situation raises three questions: 1) What does the ceasefire...
'China and Russia are as close as teeth and lips', Li Hui, Chinese Ambassador in Moscow, has stated referring to the increasingly close and intense collaboration between the two countries. The sanctions imposed to Russia by the West have strengthened the cooperation between the two countries in economic, political and military matters. Despite their historical disagreements and mutual mistrust during the Cold War, China and Russia have much in common: they share the modernitarian model (modern authoritarian regimes under the guidance of a single party undermined by corruption and cronyism), as Josef Joffe has already said; both are members of the BRICS, and they have nearly identical economic interests in Latin America, Central Asia and Africa. But more important is the fact that they...
Durante el último año la inflación se ha elevado sustancialmente en España. El IPC crece al 3,5%, frente al 2,2% de hace un año; el deflactor del PIB, lo hace a cerca del 5%; la inflación subyacente sube a casi el 3%. El diferencial de inflación con la eurozona es de 1,4 puntos, frente a los 0,5 puntos de hace un año. El cáncer inflacionista produce pérdida de competitividad de la producción española y se va a traducir en menor crecimiento y menor empleo. La causa principal de la inflación excesiva no es el choque de oferta petrolífero, sino la política económica del Gobierno: la política presupuestaria, demasiado expansiva en el actual contexto monetario de la eurozona, y la ausencia de reformas estructurales, que limita el crecimiento potencial de la economía española.
