Following the special issue on COP26 and the climate emergency, Diari de les idees<\/em> returns to its usual format analysing the major issues of the last fortnight. This publication highlights the migrant crisis on the border between Poland and Belarus \u2013 being one of the most fragile points in the entire NATO defence system \u2013 while at the same time tensions between Russia and Ukraine are rising as a result of Russian military exercises in the Black Sea. The authorities in Kiev have responded by sending troops to its border with Belarus, intending to prevent another migration crisis such as the one caused by Alexander Lukashenko\u2019s regime, who facilitated the arrival to the Lithuanian and Polish borders of thousands of immigrants, most of them coming from the Middle East. Such humanitarian and political crisis has its correlate in the other end of Europe, in the English Channel. The death of 27 migrants trying to reach the United Kingdom has translated into a new encounter between London and Paris. Both events are a weighty warning to a European community that still does not have an effective and more humane common migration policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this vein, Humza Julani denounces in Foreign Policy<\/em><\/a> the use of thousands of migrants as mere pawns of a geopolitical crisis that the European Union has labelled with the term of “hybrid war”. Being reminiscent of the 2015 migration crisis, which accounted for the arrival of 5.2 million people, the EU is concerned about the situation on the Belarussian border. Given the intensification of climate disasters, persistent poverty and widespread conflicts that define today’s world, the migration conflict encountered in the east of Europe could bode well for a new “normalcy” in terms of migration. Paul Mason in The New Statesman<\/em><\/a> warns that this context is fuelling regional instability. Moreover, the author notes that the Pentagon has already targeted a possible Putin-ordered invasion of Ukraine and considered the likelihood of a military offensive against Sweden, Finland and Georgia. In the face of these potential scenarios, the West fears that the unity of the Atlantic Alliance might not be guaranteed and that some of its members might not respond effectively to a potential conflict. In his view, the solution not only requires diplomatic firmness and severe sanctions but also cross-border solidarity so that migrants stranded on the border with Poland are welcomed into Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, in The Atlantic<\/em><\/a> <\/em> Anne Applebaum outlines the conditions that have allowed autocrats to achieve power in Venezuela, Russia, Belarus, China and Turkey. The author claims that these new dictators are different from the autocratic figure we are historically familiar with, since nowadays, the autocracies are not run by a single leader, but by sophisticated networks made up of kleptocratic financial structures along with security services and professional propagandists. Even if modern autocrats include those who define themselves as communists, nationalists or theocrats, what all the members of this \u201cbad guy club\u201d have in common is the desire to preserve and increase personal power as well as wealth. Another distinguishing feature in comparison to the dictators of the past is that today’s autocrats care very little about how they are being perceived. A clear example embodying this attitude is Russia, who not only ignores criticism from the West, but also mocks it. By the same token, while the Burmese junta is not ashamed of killing hundreds of protesters, the Chinese government boasts about the eradication of the popular democratic movement in Hong Kong. In the past, dissidents fought against a regime and in particular its leader; today they encounter a complex international structure where the autocrats help each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another source of tension worth commenting on is Ethiopia, as it is a country at risk of implosion. Le Monde<\/em><\/a>\u2019s<\/em> editorial considers that the crucial elements for a civil war to burst are taking shape. In particular, the African country presents a background of exacerbated nationalism combined with a discourse of blind violence and a process of essentialization carried out by pyromaniac political leaders. The newspaper warns the public that such a combination of factors could even lead to genocide. Numerous analysts consider the possibility of an ethnic conflict in the Horn of Africa similar to the Yugoslav Wars, marked by a cycle of wars and violence such as the Srebrenica genocide. Along the same lines, Nic Cheeseman & Yohannes Woldemariam examine in Foreign Affairs<\/em><\/a> if the country will be able to survive the current crisis while assessing its viability as a state. The Tigray People’s Liberation Front, which is no longer a ruling party but a rebel guerrilla confronted with Prime Minister Abiy, is forging federalist-type alliances with other insurgent movements. The authors consider that, for the time being, all possible outcomes jeopardize the viability of the Ethiopian state. Both in the case of a rebel victory and the event of a pact between the TPLF and the federal government would exacerbate tensions with the current members of the Tigrinya forces. On the other hand, a coup that overthrew Abiy or the plight of a negotiated stalemate in the conflict would not solve the underlying problems either. It is important to bear in mind that the distribution of power among the different ethnic groups living in Ethiopia has been a historic dispute in the country. However, the tensions have been recently exacerbated by hate speech. Ultimately, reuniting Ethiopia, both physically and symbolically, requires ensuring lasting peace while rebuilding the country and investing in infrastructure for the benefit of all citizens. In addition, it is crucial to forge a consensus on what the Ethiopian country represents by strengthening the common symbols. According to the article, this scenario will not be achieved by military conquest, nor through the creation of a confederation, which will only strengthen the centrifugal forces and the ability of the larger regions to secede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With regard to Catalonia, the ruling of the Supreme Court rejecting an appeal filed by the Government of the Generalitat against yet another verdict issued by the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia entails a severe blow against the use of Catalan in the education system.  Joan Ridao states in La Vanguardia<\/em><\/a> that the ruling of the Supreme Court is very relevant, as it is not a resolution issued to a particular case, but a decision that jeopardizes the Catalan model of linguistic conjunction as a whole. Hence, driven by their activism and upset by what they consider an alleged inhibition of the Generalitat, the magistrates of the Supreme Court have decided to supplant the Parliament and the competent education administrations, evading their exclusive function of interpreting and enforcing laws, and therefore entering an eminently pedagogical and not legal debate. Thus, certain sectors of the state fail to appreciate the benefits of the current model, which ensures oral and written Spanish proficiency to any child at the end of their compulsory education \u2013 even higher than that of some Spanish-speaking autonomous communities, as shown year after year by the General Diagnostic Assessment of the Spanish Ministry of Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fourteen years after the approval of the Law of Historical Memory, the Spanish Congress of Deputies is again debating the processing of a new decree, which, to some extent, amends and covers the major shortcomings that continue to exist in terms of democratic memory. In the CTXT<\/em><\/a> magazine, Jacinto Lara and Miguel Urb\u00e1n point out that the European countries who suffered authoritarian and fascist regimes similar to the Spanish one engaged in a process of judging their respective dictatorships and those responsible, in addition to developing an active policy of victim recognition. Consequently, the inability to access criminal justice in Spain by those who have suffered serious human rights violations is a significant anomaly worth revising. A special impunity regime has been built around this democratic exceptionality, as stated by philosopher Jon Elster in Closing the Books: Transitional Justice in Historical Perspective<\/em> (Cambridge, 2004): “The Spanish case is unique in terms of transition to democracy because there was a deliberate and consensual decision to avoid transitional justice.” Ultimately, a law that neither does guarantee the effective access of dictatorship\u2019s victims to criminal justice nor invalidates the rule of impunity put to use by courts, cannot be considered fully democratic or respectful of human rights, no matter how much progress it makes within regard to previous legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the European level, Simon Tisdall wonders in the pages of The Guardian<\/em><\/a> whether Europe is entering a new phase of instability, given that since the Cold War the continent did not seem as vulnerable to hostile forces as it does now. Indeed, the accumulation of external threats and internal divisions, along with the flagging security alliance with the U.S., the Russian subversion strategy, and the trade and technology war with China, are exposing some of Europe\u2019s key strategic weaknesses. In addition to the recent events on the Polish-Belarusian border and the rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine, instability on the European periphery is spreading in the Balkans amid fears that Bosnia and Herzegovina might witness new hostilities 26 years later of the Dayton Peace Accords. In this regard, Jeremy Cliffe in The New Statesman<\/em><\/a> perceives the deteriorating situation in Bosnia as a proof of the growing weakness of the West in responding to attacks that threaten the international order. A clear example can be found in the measures proposed by Milorad Dodik, the Serbian member of the country’s tripartite presidency, which are a menace to the survival of the multi-ethnic state. Dodik has announced that the Republika Srpska will withdraw from common state institutions such as the tax agency, the judiciary and the military. Bearing in mind this context, the French president\u2019s ideas on improving Europe\u2019s strategic political autonomy as well as security and military independence along with the construction of a stronger, more fiscally and economically integrated EU, offer a further promising path. However, while it is true that EU defence ministers discussed a strategic roadmap to increase joint capabilities a few weeks ago, the proposed agreement on the creation of rapid deployment forces still seems a long way off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, Pierre Buhler warns in Le Grand Continent<\/em><\/a> that the goal set by Polish and Hungarian leaders is not trivial at all. The “cultural counter-revolution” they defend is above all a political counter-revolution, one that in the past would have been considered reactionary. The decision of the Polish Constitutional Court to declare certain articles of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) unconstitutional represents an unprecedented opposition in the history of the European Union between a Member State and the European order. This attitude is part of a broader Zeitgeist<\/em> that allows political leaders to carry out their projects using the tools and tactics of populism, souverainism, and supremacist nationalism. The will to transform Europe is therefore embodied in the attempt to progressively demolish what constitutes EU\u2019s backbone: the rule of law. In short, the challenge for the European Union is no longer transactional in nature, but genuinely ontological. What is at stake today is the very essence of the European project, and its future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving on to the economic field, Rui Tavares defends in the Portuguese newspaper P\u00fablico<\/em><\/a> that confronted to sharp economic contraction, the public authorities must inject money into the economy to ensure employment and prevent a recession. The author considers it to be one of those cases where what is morally necessary is also economically correct. Following this logic, the EU should maintain ambitious recovery policies as a permanent instrument of public investment. Taking into account that it is possible and even easy to issue European federal debt, which the markets are buying eagerly, there is no reason not to continue with social and environmental investments crucial for future generations. According to Tavares, at the beginning of the health crisis, many expected countries to retreat while national populism revived. Moreover, the ending of globalization as well as of the European project was a widespread opinion. Yet, with regard to Europe, we have witnessed an expansion of the EU\u2019s competences, and a greater integration of its functions. At the beginning of the pandemic, the European Union had no public health competencies; but today everyone is asking for a greater role of the EU in health matters. The joint vaccine purchase program, in spite of some setbacks, has been a major success, and many are even proposing that the same logic be applied to energy investments. Concerning globalization, the forecast may seem more reticent. It is worth noting that global trade has declined. At the same time, we are also suffering from disruptions in global distribution chains as well as from shortages of goods and raw materials, which are responsible for boosting inflation. Only governments willing to cooperate internationally will be able to offer a response to such dysfunctions since no country in the world has all the raw materials or industrial base needed to meet the demands of modern consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In The Economist<\/em><\/a>, Henry Curr considers whether the world economy will return to normal next year. Until now, central banks and economists believed that the factors causing the current inflation and slowdown in growth would be temporary and that the escalation of energy prices and unemployment would soften next year. Yet, the imbalance in global trade is not merely caused by a disruption in supply added to a shortage of labour but also by an increase in demand, which leads to an escalation in prices and wages. In fact, rich countries have not experienced such a sharp rise in prices and wages since the 1970s, and many now fear that this will continue in an upward spiral. Thus, central banks and economists face a new dilemma: either ignore inflation and take no action, or raise interest rates. According to Curr, everything points to the following scenario: although inflation will persist at the beginning of 2022, the forces that previously kept it low are expected to be restored within eighteen months and, in consequence, it will not be necessary to raise interest rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luis Gonz\u00e1lez Reyes in CTXT<\/em><\/a> believes that the current deprivation is due to the nature of the economic system that needs to grow constantly without having the physical and environmental capacity to do so. The shortfall is a consequence of the growing demand resulting from the post-pandemic economic recovery. Thus, the key is to analyse why this demand cannot be met. While it is true that multiple logistical, political, and economic factors are involved in the current transnational production model, according to the author, we should also consider an environmental perspective. Our production model is based on a planet with finite resources, and we seem to be reaching the limits of its exploitation. In fact, we are already beginning to notice the first consequences: the lack of materials, such as minerals; and energy, such as natural gas or oil, responsible for the current energy crisis. Moreover, climate change further exacerbates these limitations. Droughts, natural disasters and a disruption in the ecosystem balance, leading to the spread of zoonotic diseases such as COVID-19, threaten the system of production and supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linked to the previous argument, Michael Davies-Venn defends in Social Europe<\/em><\/a> <\/em> the need to socialize electricity since it is, according to him, the only solution to Europe’s energy crisis. The socio-economic repercussions of this crisis have led both the leaders of the member states and the EU itself to opt for public aid aimed at consumers, favouring, therefore, realpolitik<\/em> over political ideology. Yet, Davies-Venn opposes what he describes as ad hoc<\/em> reactions, which are incompatible with free-market rules. On the other hand, the author strongly advocates treating electricity as a non-exclusive public good and proposes that the EU should legislate so that citizens can promote their own energy cooperatives. What is more, he argues that the European Commission should allow states to (re)nationalize power companies, which would advance the eradication of energy poverty and lead to a more harmonious implementation of a common energy and climate policy. Ultimately, Davies-Venn argues that it is politically and economically unsustainable to ensure that rising prices are evenly distributed among the population while maintaining the free electricity market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the disappointment caused by COP26, Henry Monbiot argues in The Guardian<\/em><\/a> that it is necessary to support the diffusion of new technologies, as they tend to be self-accelerating, given that the improvement of efficiency, economies of scale and industrial synergies reinforce each other. In this sense, as batteries are further developed, their price drops while the availability of electric vehicles increases. Likewise, governments are more willing to implement policies that complete the energy transition as they become more popular. However, changing the energy source used by vehicles alone does not mitigate other negative environmental impacts. A truly green transportation system requires increasing walking and cycling, as well as prioritizing public transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For its part, The Economist<\/em><\/a> points out that despite its low popularity among environmentalists, nuclear power could contribute to the fight against climate change. It is worth remembering that the oil crisis of the 1970s prompted many countries to invest more in their nuclear capacity. In ten years, nuclear power consumption increased by 130%. However, after a peak in 2006, the use of nuclear energy diminished considerably, to the point that in 2019 it accounted for only 4.3% of global primary energy. The Economist<\/em> argues that nuclear energy should be part of the strategy to displace fossil fuels because, while it presents drawbacks like any other source of energy, it is reliable and safe if properly regulated. In order to overcome the time and cost constraints of its implementation, small modular reactors are being developed, which can be produced in factories and are easily transportable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Wolfgang M\u00fcnchau in El Pa\u00eds<\/em><\/a> <\/em> believes that crypto technology along with Artificial Intelligence are the main factors responsible for the political destabilization of our time. Decentralized finance, or DeFi, is on its way to occupying important parts of the financial sector, since it involves the elimination of intermediaries, just as supermarkets did with local businesses. On the other hand, if central banks fail to control the endemic instability caused by a fatal loop of financial deregulation and asset purchase, global demand for unofficial currencies as a security deposit will increase. This is where cryptocurrency comes into play. M\u00fcnchau believes that the main source of destabilization does not strictly come from technology, but from its interaction with politics. Growing distrust towards official institutions, including central banks, has created a demand for an alternative to traditional money. Cryptocurrencies have been used to launder money, but also to finance opposition movements in autocratic regimes. If this type of currency exists, it is because capitalist societies have been unable to produce stability while pseudo-democratic regimes have been increasing. Thus, it can be argued that cryptocurrency is a collateral result of politics.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, the Financial Times<\/em><\/a> warns about the possibility that the next pandemic is lab-made, resulting from genetic engineering. The newspaper exposes the case of the Wisconsin Influenza Research Institute<\/em> as an example. This particular lab has carried out experiments since 2013 genetically combining different pathogens to study how their transmissibility or their capacity for infection increases. According to scientific justification, manipulating the genetic makeup of certain viruses while isolating their individual characteristics allows us to know what makes them more deadly and how to identify future threats. As long as this procedure is safely done, guaranteeing all the biosafety and biosecurity regulations, it should not present any problem. However, a dangerous incident took place in Wisconsin\u2019s laboratory: one of the researchers accidentally pricked his fingers with a needle containing a deadly modified influenza virus. Although the accident did not have serious consequences, both the NIH (National Institute of Health) and the government were highly concerned. Besides, because of this episode, a small number of politicians and intelligence officials started to wonder whether such an accident on the other side of the world might have triggered the Covid-19 pandemic. As Richard Ebright, professor of chemical biology at Rutgers University, announces, \u201cit does not matter whether Covid-19 actually leaked from Wuhan. Just knowing it could have should be enough for us to change our approach\u201d. Despite the serious dangers that genetic engineered pathogens might present, these research centres receive large sums of public money coming from government health agencies. Many specialists criticize the investment of the White House administration in such experiments amid rising safety concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
