Polarisation is weakening institutional trust, fragmenting civic norms, and reducing societies’ ability to solve problems collectively. This is the new fragility. At the same time, governments and civil society organisations are adopting digital tools to support public participation. These deliberative technologies hold real promise, but in polarised environments they also carry risks. Their success depends on the same principles that have guided peacebuilding efforts for decades. Copyright © 2025 IPS-Inter Press Service.

Visita histórica de Putin a India: ¿“asociación especialmente privilegiada” o “G2”? por Alfredo Jalife-Rahme Occidente aún no comprende el desarrollo de Asia. Permanece anclado en certezas pasadas.

El plan de las Naciones Unidas para la capitulación de la República Árabe Siria Red Voltaire | 6 de diciembre de 2025 عربي Deutsch ελληνικά français italiano Nederlands Português

El plan de las Naciones Unidas para la capitulación de la República Árabe Siria Aunque parezca difícil de creer, la caída del presidente sirio Bachar al-Assad, presidente electo y reelecto, no fue fruto de una revolución ni de la arremetida de yihadistas extranjeros. Fue resultado de un plan británico puesto en aplicación por los discípulos de Leo Straus. El documento secreto que hoy publicamos fue redactado, en 2015, en la cúpula de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), bajo la dirección del alemán Volker Perthes y bajo la autoridad del estadounidense-israelí Jeffrey Feltman. Lo que se describía en ese plan, sólo ha podido concretarse 10 años después, con Ahmed al-Charaa.

El Pentágono adopta la visión del mundo de Donald Trump por Thierry Meyssan Red Voltaire | París (Francia) | 10 de diciembre de 2025 عربي Deutsch ελληνικά français italiano Nederlands русский

El Pentágono adopta la visión del mundo de Donald Trump por Thierry Meyssan Donald Trump, a quien los dirigentes europeos consideran un populista sin experiencia política, acaba de dar a conocer su nueva Estrategia de Seguridad Nacional, un texto mal escrito pero de un considerable alcance filosófico. Trump se reafirma como hábil diplomático y propone, siguiendo la línea del presidente Andrew Jackson, sustituir la guerra por el comercio.
