So what's our problem?

"Hungarian Quarterly" divines the future of the forint; "Index on Censorship" gives libel law a bad press; "Samtiden" doubts whether Norwegian police women are any freer with the hijab; "Le Monde diplomatique" (Berlin) applies the belt to Europe's cordon sanitaire; "Mittelweg 36" sees solidarity outgrow the nation; "Roots" says yes to Europe, but not at any cost; "Kulturos barai" does not dismiss the idea of a new Lithuanian Grand Duchy; "Le Monde diplomatique" (Oslo) calls the European elections a farce; "Rili" wants to keep the market out of universities; and "Fronesis" explains what 2°C means in an expertocracy.
