2007-10-10 15:54 Losing touch
By Simon Tisdall (THE GUARDIAN, 10/12/07): Russia's latest outburst of passive-aggressive paranoia, aimed at Britain in particular, may reflect a dawning realisation in the Kremlin that western resistance to its perceived bullying of neighbours, disdain for civil and human rights, and cut-throat energy policy is growing after years of blind eyes, held noses and wishful thinking. The president-prime minister, Vladimir Putin, likes to stress Russia's resurgent power, buoyed by record oil and gas e …

2007-07-15 20:20 Living History
As analysts of society both ancient and modern we tend to forget about memory. Its an easy thing to do- the Bosnian and Kosovan wars of the mid-nineties have been replaced by the crisis in Iraq and that too will fade as surely as they do to be replaced by some other catastrophe. But whereas the memory of events fades quickly here- far from where the event happens- there are places in the world where the Serb occupation of Bosnia or even the Cambodian genocide of the 1970s still in reality condit …

2007-05-11 02:23 BDS Spreads as Blair Prepares to Step Down
Timothy Garton Ash, one of Europe's most astute political observers, recently described the extreme reaction of dinner guests to unpopular political leaders. ...The sole duty of any self-respecting commentator is to interrogate and then indict Blair - as if he were a cross between Radovan Karadzic, Augusto Pinochet and Adolf Eichmann... As at many a London dinner table, one's own superior virtue, and one's belonging to the tribe, is demonstrated by the unbounded vehemence of one's denunciation o …

2007-05-07 23:13 social networking and social change
It's hardly a surprise that large NGO's are starting to experiment with social networks, given the sheer numbers of people using them and their high media profile. But, judging by comments on the eCampaigning Forum wiki, there's some uncertainty about how non-profits should approach social networks, and especially how to get an effective return for the time that has to be invested in these relationship-spaces. NGOs are also anxious about the loss of control - in a participative space, what happe …

2006-12-03 16:24 Whose War on Whose Terror Reclaiming Our Rights
Yesterday, I was fortunate to have been one of the opening plenary speakers at the 'Reclaiming Our Rights' conference at the Human Rights and Social Justice Institute at the London Metropolitan University, organized mainly by the Campaign Against Criminalising Communities (CAMPACC). It was an excellent conference bringing together some of the leading dissident organizations involved in political activism against the anti-terror laws. Speakers included people like Craig Murray, former British Amb …
