Solidariteit is geen luxe: wereldwijde aanval op ontwikkelingssamenwerking is een strategische fout Kortzichtigheid heeft een prijs, stellen de directeurs van zeven Belgische ngo’s, waaronder 11.11.11, Memisa, Dokters van de Wereld en Damiaanactie. Els Hertogen en anderen waarschuwen voor het uitbli...

Minder ontwikkelingssamenwerking betekent niet dat de wereld stopt met branden. Alleen dat wij wegkijken terwijl ze brandt.

De prijs van besparen is duidelijk: instabiliteit, onveiligheid, verloren geloofwaardigheid, gebroken mensenlevens.

This tariff fiasco is crazy on so many levels. So @hankgreen.bsky.social decided to rank them.

As much as there is to laugh at, stay till the end, because he does a good job breaking down why this is so serious.

🚨Publication alert! 🚨

Happy to announce the publication of my first solo academic work! I critique how 'convergence' is deployed in debates about the Eurozone crisis and beyond, offering a constructivist edge to discussions about capitalist restructuring in the Eurozone.
