The Israelization of International Relations: A View from a Small Country | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few days ago, when I landed at Budapest Airport on my way to an international conference devoted to serious questions of international politics, the first thing I saw was a huge civilian aircraft bearing a name unfamiliar to me: Isair. It was not difficult to guess, but I checked anyway. It was an Israeli air carrier. At this time of year, Budapest is a wonderful tourist destination, and the plane was packed ‘like a hive.’ And there they were: Israeli tourists. Of course, they have flooded Cyp
When Women Reach the Top, but Power Remains the Same: Murmu and Siljanovska-Davkova | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This may seem like a slightly belated reaction to India’s President’s visit to Macedonia 20-23 July. Yet the event deserves a brief reflection through a gender lens. The real inspiration comes from my engagement in a two-year project aimed at encouraging greater participation of women in politics — Gender Equality Mobilization (GEM), implemented together with academic and civil society institutions from Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia. Our aim is to encourage young women
The Abstraction of War: Ukraine, Proxy Dynamics, and the Erasure of the Working Class | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The history of warfare shows that conflicts end either with a clear victory by one side or through negotiations when both face the exhaustion of resources and the will to continue sacrificing lives. There is also a third way: a silent ending of hostilities, the establishment of a ‘cold peace,’ and the freezing of the conflict without an explicit acknowledgment of defeat. It is important to emphasize that wars do not begin out of the blue: they are merely the escalation of deep-seated contradicti
"We Are in a Good Place": NATO, Europe and the Dangerous Illusion of Nuclear Security (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Photograph Source: Estonian Foreign Ministry – CC BY 2.0 ‘I think when it comes to nuclear, we are really in a good place.’ With these words, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte described the state of the Alliance’s nuclear strategy at the pre-Summit press conference in Ankara on 6 July 2026. The phrase was intended to project stability, confidence, and reassurance. Yet, to anyone familiar with the history of the nuclear age, it reveals something far more disturbing: the dangerous normalization of
The Flamingo Revolution in Albania: Anatomy of another Colour Revolution | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When one has witnessed not only a colour revolution in her own country (Macedonia, 2015–2016) but also sensed its arrival during Ukraine’s Euromaidan in 2014, every new outburst of supposedly spontaneous revolt provokes scepticism. Regrettably, this scepticism is usually justified. Nearly two years ago, I wrote similarly about student protests in Serbia and later about Nepal. The point is this: for those of us on the periphery, when you have seen one ‘revolution’ of this industrial kind, you hav
