After being named leader of the Labour party, Andy Burnham has officially become prime minister of the UK. That many people considered this day an inevitability doesn’t make it any less momentous.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends involving populations in the response to epidemics, and even co-constructing responses with them. This approach is in line with “ health democracy” that is enshrined in French law and developed by a movement combining ethics, human rights, and public health. As a reminder, health democracy is an approach that aims to involve service users, professionals, and public decision-makers in the development and implementation of health policies in a spirit of dialogue and consultation.
The UK’s new prime minister, Andy Burnham, has appointed John Healey as chancellor of the exchequer. His pick to fill the UK’s top economic post was something of a surprise: if we were to believe the speculation, the choice was between a minister with strong views on the economy – Ed Miliband – and a pragmatist with solid managerial credentials – Shabana Mahmood.
La baisse historique de l’aide publique au développement met les ONG en grande difficulté, alors que les besoins humanitaires continuent d’augmenter. Une étude menée auprès de trois ONG françaises montre que leur principal défi est de trouver le bon équilibre entre contrôle du siège et autonomie des équipes de terrain. L’efficience passe moins par de nouvelles économies que par une meilleure coordination, des innovations collectives et des investissements durables.
President Donald Trump’s obsession with unfounded claims of election fraud has defined his second term in office. But in recent months his fixation has moved from executive nominee litmus tests and executive orders reinforcing proof of citizenship to vote into legislation – dragging Congress into the fray.
En dépit de réussites factuelles (sur le temps d’attente dans les hôpitaux, la hausse du salaire minimum et la baisse de l’immigration), la perception générale des deux années que Keir Starmer a passées au poste de premier ministre est généralement mitigée. S’il est vrai qu’il a plusieurs fois changé de positions, c’est avant tout un manque de connexion émotionnelle avec ses concitoyens qui lui est reproché. La politique se réduit-elle donc à une question de charisme ? Si oui, peut-on le renforcer ou est-ce un don ? La littérature apporte une réponse intéressante.
The Trump administration has planned a series of commemorative events as part of its Freedom 250 initiative to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. These commemorations, according to Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley, were intended to “bring the country back together” through a renewed sense of patriotism, national unity and civic pride.
Why do France and the United States – two nations that claim to be founded on universal principles rather than common ancestry – place such extraordinary importance on their national holidays? And what do today’s battles over these celebrations reveal about the crisis of democratic national narratives?
Two contradictory things can be true at the same time. It is true that the findings of the independent Police Leadership Commission, which I co-chaired, are devastating in relation to the recruitment, training and development, promotion, monitoring and appraisal of the police service. Yet there is excellent policing taking place on our streets and protecting our businesses every day of the week.
Africa is home to many iconic national parks and marine reserves, such as Virunga in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Niokolo-Koba in Senegal, Kruger National Park in South Africa and Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Many of them were established during the colonial era, and nearly half are still managed by government agencies.
Marine Le Pen has confirmed she intends to run in next year’s presidential election in France, despite her appeal against a conviction for embezzlement of EU funds being rejected.
It was prototypical Nigel Farage. A cryptic announcement that a statement is about to be made, a wholesale hijacking of the news agenda hinting at a “will he won’t he?” state of affairs, followed by a blistering attack on “the establishment” (or, at least, Farage’s conception of the establishment), and a big finish – he is resigning as MP for Clacton, therefore triggering a by-election – in which he will stand once more (though it appears the other main parties will not).
A number of recent high-profile congressional primaries in the Democratic Party have resulted in the nomination of unexpected candidates. Many of these winning candidates have unseated entrenched incumbents, as 29-year-old Colorado attorney Melat Kiros did to U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, who has been serving in the House for three decades.
Two massive Russian attacks on Kyiv in less than a week, renewed Iranian threats in the Strait of Hormuz, and a security crackdown in Turkey are just three of the immediate issues shaping the context of the Nato summit in Ankara on July 7-8.
While Ukraine and Iran will be on Nato’s agenda, the authoritarian drift of its host, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, will be politely overlooked. But as ever, the summit outcome will be determined by the position of the United States.
