Is the Military-Industrial Complex Not Just the Means but Also an Important Cause of Forever Wars?

The military industrial complex is comprised of the arms industry and defense contractors, their supporting research establishment, lobbyists and assets.

Kemalism Vs Kemalism In Turkish Elections – OpEd

Turkish presidential election Sunday goes down to the wires

From a geopolitical perspective, the Turkish presidential election on Sunday may appear to be one of the most crucial non-violent political events of this year. But appearances can be deceptive in Turkish politics.

Migrants’ Mass Expulsions from Croatia Raise Legal Doubts

Croatia and Bosnia say the expulsion of hundreds of migrants and refugees from the first to the second country are regulated by a bilateral agreement – but NGOs, rights groups and a legal expert question its legality.

New and Better Generation of Politicians in Bosnia is a Myth

The younger generation of politicians in Bosnia has brought about no positive change at all in the country’s confrontational politics – and won’t do in future.

Among the many follies generated by the NGO sector in Bosnia in the post-war period is that a new generation of politicians in Bosnia will bring change. This sounded both polite and hopeful.
