Trump’s Pleasure. Or, The Politics of Jouissance. Psycho-Philosophical Essay
This text analyses the main traits of the specific “ Trumpian jouissance ” which is the driving force behind both the U.S. president’s public attractiveness and ambiguity. Donald John Trump’s political behaviour is characterised by a rather unique form of intense, transgressive pleasure called jouissance , which transcends normal limits and fuels his unpredictable actions, impacting both domestic and international politics. The phenomenon of joui…

What is transformation design? Applying transdisciplinarity to govern change
Transformation Design is an inter- and transdisciplinary approach aiming at establishing a positive interdependence of otherwise “incommensurable” or even opposed actors and forces in evolving societal systems. Its primary goal is to increase the “pan-resilience” of the overall system through the mutually productive interconnection of its constituent parts, for the sake of co-advancement. Contrary to previous, rather sector-focused approaches, co…
Futures thinking becomes a priority for all globalized societies
This essay provides a concise impression of the many contemporary attempts to revitalize futures thinking. Futures thinking—in the sense of a systematic anticipatory approach based on sound scientific expertise and backed by socio-philosophical reasoning which must carefully balance idealism and pragmatism—was asleep for some time but is now rapidly becoming a top priority for all societies, independent of their socio-political system, compositio…
The New Global Direction: From “One Globalization” to “Two Globalizations”? Russia’s War in Ukraine in Global Perspective
Roland Benedikter surveys the views of globalization experts, politicians, opinion leaders, intellectuals, and international media regarding Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. On this basis, he draws conclusions about the impact on – and prospect for – the overall course and further direction of globalization. Given the general turn toward re-globalization that the globe has witnessed already since the mid of the 2010s, the question is if the lib…
Religion in the Age of Re-Globalization: A Brief Introduction
Die Erneuerung der politischen Mitte: Das Auseinanderbrechen der Gesellschaft, das Format Volkspartei und die Zukunft der Demokratie
This book discusses the renewability of the political centre in European democracies. The recent environment of repeated bundles of crises, new social technologies, individualisation and the rise of populism has caused socio-psychological upheaval. As a consequence, the centre of open societies—the moderate middle ground—has been thinned out at the ballot box. This has led to the question: How might the political centre of liberal democracies be …
Re-Globalization: New Frontiers of Political, Economic and Social Globalization
Re-Globalization examines the changing face of globalization, with political, economic, and social balances in flux, and tensions increasing in many parts of the globe.
Using serious mobile games to improve health literacy in rural Sub-Saharan Africa: A literature review
The African gaming industry is beginning to flourish as a result of a rise in the availability of inexpensive phones and the number of mobile phone subscribers. It has enabled the development and implementation of mobile serious games to promote healthy behavior change in rural communities. This paper examines the use of mobile serious games in healthcare education, with a particular focus on those designed to increase health literacy in rural Af…
Guinea's Gold Sheds Light on the Difficulties of Reforming North-South Exploitation
Guinea is an exemplary case of North-South exploitation, as well as of the ambiguities involved on both sides. This is what is shown by the case of its foreign-stored gold reserves and the dubious attempts of Guinea's current military junta to take back control. The solution lies in reforms on both sides

The Five Origins of European Populism: The “Old Continent” Between Fixing Techno-Wars And A Global Order In The Re-Making
This essay deals with the five origins of European populism. It touches upon a number of themes in the lexicon of re-globalization and the changing warp of populist globalization as a process. It carries a lively normative message, principally as to the required comportment of the European Union during a period of global change and dislocation, which prefigures, or may give rise to a post-populist era
Freemasonry in Turkey's modern history of ideas: A factor of liberalization and individualization
This article provides a brief outline of the impact of Turkish Freemasonry on the development of modern Turkey since the eighteenth century. It draws a short and incomplete history from a qualitative viewpoint, including influential topics, approaches, and camps. As European influences were historically strong in shaping Freemasonry on the Bosphorus, the text makes Turkish Freemasonry a case of Turkish-European exchange and an example of specific…
Suicide terrorism: The actuality of an uncomfortable topic. What are the next steps for a better understanding of what we need
In recent years, the number of suicidal terror attacks in advanced societies has decreased, inducing the public to widely remove the issue from public post-modern debate. Yet as, among many other examples, the attacks on a church in Sri Lanka’s capital Colombo in April 2019 with more than 250 dead and 500 wounded have shown, the age of suicide terrorism is far from over. On the contrary, the archetype remains one of the most present influences in…
Political dialogue in Côte d’Ivoire: A difficult, but exemplary task. Could the Ivory Coast become a role model of multi-dimensional reconciliation for other African nations
In Côte d’Ivoire, eight years after the civil war, initiatives for improving the conditions of a still-polarised society through parallel civil and political reconciliation mechanisms are underway. Institutionalised reconciliation commissions are flanked by new electoral alliances and the return of well-known players. All of these trajectories have the ability to further dialogue if they overcome narrow group interests and dedicate themselves to …

Europe’s refugee and migrant crisis: Political responses to asymmetrical pressures
La crise des réfugié·e·s et des migrant·e·s qu’a connu l’Europe a été une des questions politiques les plus importantes et les plus conflictuelles de son histoire récente. Depuis ses débuts au moment du Printemps Arabe en 2011 puis de son intensification en 2015, elle a été présentée comme une crise des migrant·e·s. Cependant, la réalité est bien plus complexe et il s’agit bien plutôt d’une crise « mixte », touchant tout à la fois des migrant·e·s…
Saving West Africa from the rise of terrorism: Burkina Faso’s ‘Emergency Program for the Sahel’ and the need for a multidimensional strategy
Terrorism is on the rise in the Sahel zone. It is the effect of a multitude of factors partly stemming from global influences and partly home-made. Burkina Faso is a contemporary case of how efforts to pacify a developing region through an emergency program are undertaken both by African nations and the international community, focusing mainly on economic and military dimensions; and how a more multidimensional and transdisciplinary strategy is n…

Europe’s New Rogue States, Poland and Hungary: A Narrative and Its Perspectives
Poland’s Conservative Turn and the Role of the European Union
On 13 January 2016, for the first time in its history, the European Union launched an investigation against one of its full member states, Poland. The dispute is about new Polish laws that allegedly disempower the Constitutional Court and the public media, thus breaching EU democracy standards. The dispute reaches far beyond Poland and questions the further perspectives of integration of the Central Eastern European (CEE) states within the EU. At…

The global imaginary, new media and sociopolitical innovation in the periphery: The practical case of an Internet-based empowerment project in Palestine and Israel
This paper is concerned with a description of the way in which a particular group of marginalized peoples in Palestine are using digital network technologies as part of a campaign of non-violent resistance to their conditions. It is an engaging story of what is a case study in the way communications technologies are becoming part of broader struggles for liberation not just in the ‘connected’ centres, but also in more isolated areas. The aims of …
