Jürgen Habermas and Edgar Morin warn of the proliferation, in the media and on social networks, of warmongering speeches opposed to any search for compromise, even diplomatic. How can we ignore the calls for dialogue and reason from our two greatest European philosophers? The press is, however, a fundamental pillar of any true democracy. "Journalistic information is too precious a good not to be confused with propaganda", was it counter-propaganda. / Pierrick HAMON is General Delegate of I-Dialogos

The world of information has been marked in recent years by upheavals linked to the digital revolution. Patrice CARDOT presents the results of the study he has just carried out on the issues and challenges posed to information and journalism in France, in the 21st century, with precise analyzes and proposals. Conducted in the form of an investigation carried out by an independent investigative journalist, this study is part of the context of the States General of Information launched in France on October 3, 2023 in order to lay the foundations of a model of media and digital space for generations to come, and which brought together professionals, researchers and citizens.

From this crisis new balances of power will emerge as well as new institutions, both of a “regional” (i.e. continental) and universal dimension. The hypothesis of a reissue of the American empire in the form of a strengthened NATO or an “alliance of democracies” seems plausible to me, as does the creation of a Sino-Russian bloc. / Giuseppe GILIBERTI is professor at the University of Urbino (Italy) and researcher at the Istituto di Studi Mediterranei (ISMED-CNR) in Naples./ updated on 05/22/2024

History is on the way and the right to self-determination of peoples is real. However, there is no magic recipe, the Overseas Territories find themselves today in a logic where local choices are forbidden to them, such as those of the Amazon Summit. What is their room for maneuver if they do not make themselves heard within the framework of the Republic? Currently, there are questions about French interests in the former African colonies. The answers, unsatisfactory, lead to a rejection of France in favor of other powers. / Aug 28, 2023

India has the constitutional framework as well as the natural, financial and human resources needed to achieve its own development. India holds a know-how that has proven itself by radiating throughout Asia, and now throughout the world. But this was abandoned when this immense country entered the liberal system. Has India then lost its "soul" and in a certain way its values? Yet it is these latter that seduce so many people in search of meaning, this "spirituality" that it would not have known how to benefit from itself? /Augustin Brutus Jaykumar, in Pondicherry on September 18, 2024

Interview with H0-SACK-WA/BADAMIE, first female Doctor of Letters from the Amerindian community of French GUYANA: “The path to linguistic dignity should go through a “New Francophonie” of linguistic creation and political cultural resurgence. This is why France should enter into discussions with the Overseas Territories and those involved in this heritage. It must rethink its Francophonie, to reestablish a real ancestral linguistic symbolism, as being the foundation of a new influence” / 02.20.2024.

How can our fellow citizens maintain hope in the future when newspapers, radio and television continue daily to pour out a torrent of information that I would describe as pessimistic at best and deadly at worst? Instead of the media of despair, let us prefer the media of hope and solutions. Like what “Reporters of hope, journalism that makes you want to act” does, let us demand that the national and regional media also become media that bring hope. It's urgent! Jean-Claude MAIRAL, Co-president of I-Dialogos / 08-05-2024

Throughout the world, the Media play an essential role, with a responsibility of which they are aware. But some should - particularly after this succession of coups in Africa - handle it with more dexterity, and sometimes even professionalism. In fact their role, with that of social networks perceived as dangerous competitors, is increasingly questioned. / Interview with Ms. Reine BENAO SAKANDE, co-founder of I-Dialogos, former Member of the National Assembly of Burkina Faso and the ECOWAS Parliament.

The heads of state of the European Union have always been inclined to favor intergovernmental governance of the EU. They had thus gotten into the habit of choosing a President of the Commission, then a President of the European Council, who would not overshadow them. But in 1983 we quickly understood in Brussels that the new president would not be easy going by presenting himself straight away with a well-articulated strategy. / Article published in the new Italian magazine “LAB/Politiche e culture” partner of I-Dialogos. / Pierrick HAMON, Paris, January 21, 2024

Dialogue and convergence require a rapprochement and mutual recognition of the two unions: the European Union and the Euro-Asian Union, in order to identify possible divergences and convergences within the framework of bilateral discussions, on the one hand, and a constructive dialogue within the OSCE, on the other hand. To this should be added the desirable convergence of the States of the two unions for a Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok, a new pole of balance and wisdom in a world which greatly needs it. Let's dream about it, it's not forbidden! / Ariel FRANCAIS, Vienna (Austria) / published again on 03-23-2024

For Martin ZIGUELE, former Prime Minister of the Central African Republic, visiting Paris, it is precisely because Africa is sick of this absence of democracy that the fight for democracy must go beyond political forces. It must be the fight of every African, and the role of organized political and social forces is precisely to continue to raise awareness and mobilize populations. As for the OIF, it should evolve towards the Commonwealth model to meet the objectives of solidarity, democracy and development of its members. Interview. Nelle published on 05/12/2024...

We are witnessing a complete collapse of diplomacy between the United States and Russia, and an almost total collapse between the United States and China. Europe, which has become far too dependent on the United States, is simply following Washington's line. The absence of a real diplomatic strategy creates a dynamic of escalation that could lead to nuclear war. The priority for world peace is, however, to reestablish American diplomatic dialogue with Russia and China./ Jeffrey Sachs is a professor at Columbia University in Washington and Special Advisor to Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the UN / March 23 .2024..
