After Paris:
Understanding not Revenge
Jeff Noonan
1. At the basis of all concrete identities: "Muslim," "Sunni," "French citizen," etc., lies a core human being, a capacity for self-making within the objective contexts of natural and social life. Selves are made, identities forged, reproduced, modified, and developed through processes of work and affective-symbolic interaction with other people within and across societies. Work relations and social interactions are contradictory -- they are both creative and alienating, mutualistic and antagonistic, peaceful and violent. When politics loses sight of or ignores for partisan advantage the underlying human capacity for self-making and re-making it fixates on the abstractions. A fixation on the abstract markers of particular identities leads to their reification, and their reification leads in turn to false,...

The Prime Minister is listening -- but pressure needs to keep mounting.

Friends,
About two weeks ago, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was adamant about going to the upcoming Paris Climate Summit -- the most important international climate meeting of the decade -- with the Harper government’s plan for climate action in-hand.
Since then, however, public pressure has forced the Prime Minister in a different direction. Last week, Environment & Climate Change Minister Catherine McKenna announced that the Harper government’s plan would merely serve as a baseline, and that the Liberal government would strive to build upon it at the Paris Climate Summit. Soon afterward, Prime Minister Trudeau announced that he will also meet with the provincial premiers a week before the big summit, in order to strengthen Canada’s position at the negotiations (he'd previously planned to meet with them months after the summit was over).

Arab Spring and Syrian Refugee Crisis:
Ten Theses for Discussion
Gerardo Otero and Efe Can Gürcan
Our goal is to formulate ten theses on what we believe constitutes the historical background of the Syrian refugee crisis within the context of the Arab Spring. One central argument is that Western meddling in this process was turned into a violent contest for state power that has resulted in grave human tragedy. The recent Paris attacks with over 100 fatalities -- resulting in a state-of-emergency declaration and arson of refugee camps in retaliation -- indicate that the Syrian refugee crisis has already taken on a greater importance for global politics.
1. The Arab Spring was initially a hopeful phenomenon of social mobilization against authoritarian regimes. It started...
