Australia: Populate and We Will PerishChina’s premier called for a new economic world order
This year the Chinese foreign minister is one of the main participants at the Munich Security Conference, last year China’s premier called for a new economic world order at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Do you think Beijing has deliberately decided that it should use the forum of those big conferences for agenda-setting purposes?
It has outlined ist global agenda before. Hu Jintao delivered a speech to the UN General Assembly where he outlined what China believes to be the future of the world, the so-called harmonious world.

Dystopia emerged as a way to criticize the impossibility of the utopia
“You cannot have utopia in a society where you have humans because there is always somebody greedy, somebody who is immoral, who wants to dominate the world,” says University of Calgary English professor Ruby Ramraj. “Utopia is an idea, an imagined place, and really I don’t think you can find utopia on earth ever, no matter how many idealists we have, how many visionaries we have.” Read more
World leaders tackle the seemingly intractable problems of ushering in a new world order
Inside the National Prayer Breakfast – Clinton repeatedly addressed the importance of prayer and faith as world leaders tackle the seemingly intractable problems of ushering in a new world order where the oppressed, especially women and girls, appear to be losing ground in terms of respect, justice, and equality. Speaking very sincerely, almost to the point of tears at times, Sec. Clinton quoted Methodist stalwart John Wesley: “Do all the good you can, to all the people you can, in all the ways you can.” Read more
World leaders find LUV for new world order
The buzzword here is interconnected, but differentiated. While all the blocs are aware that they are interlinked in a way that the global recession proved, they aren’t all in the same boat, or even in the same ocean. For instance, a key theme was the great shift East of global power, and ‘rebalancing’ the global economy — mainly pushing China to revalue its currency, and the prevalent Western view that China’s high savings rate and huge reserves were a key driver for the global crisis — a point the French President Nicolas Sarkozy hammered home.

China is accused of a refusal to accept anything touching on its sovereignty
True, everyone has a different story about Copenhagen. Europeans are cross with America, India and others in a “low-ambition coalition”. But their strongest words are reserved for China, accused of a refusal to accept anything touching on its sovereignty and of secretly inciting small, poor allies to obstruct a deal. Read more
EU’s power in this new world order will be diminished
In order for this to happen, decisive action will be required,” the IIEA analysis says. “The EU will need to think strategically and tactically, with a cognisance of the realities in which it is operating” – specifically, the emergence of a “new world order” led by the US and China.
“Although the EU’s power in this new world order will be diminished, it still has many instruments at its disposal”, it says, adding that these should include proposals for carbon tariffs of up to 9 per cent on imports, as favoured by French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
The analysis argues that this would be compatible with the World Trade Organisation’s rules.

A member of a World Health Organization (WHO) panel of experts that is pondering new global taxes on e-mails, alcohol, tobacco, airline travel and consumer bank transactions, has charged that she was given only selective information at group meetings, that deliberations were rushed and that group was “manipulated” by the international pharmaceuticals industry.

Since “the end of history” and “the new world order” that global trouble just keeps on coming
GOVERNMENTS have learnt since “the end of history” and “the new world order” that global trouble just keeps on coming, regardless. Sometimes from neighbours, more often from further afield. Where should Canberra be looking especially closely, to be ready for tripwires that lie waiting in the next two or three years? Read more
Waiting in the wings was the full power of globalization
The answer, strangely enough, may be connected to the heady events of 20 years ago, when the collapse of the Berlin Wall signaled the end of the Soviet Empire. The specter of worldwide communist domination had finally been defeated. And waiting in the wings was the full power of globalization–as Tom Friedman explained in The Lexus and the Olive Tree–set to replace the Cold War as the new world order. Read more
A Massachusettes New World Order
Could the Haiti earthquake’s aftershocks have made their way up the Atlantic coast and, upon hitting Cape Cod, turned inland and shaken Massachusetts into a new world order?
It certainly felt like something akin to a tectonic shift when I saw the news that my home state, dubbed the People’s Republic of Massachusetts due to its liberal tendencies, had voted into the US Senate an unknown Republican state legislator to succeed the 46-year term of Democratic stalwart Ted Kennedy. And there has been plenty of tears and anger since. Read more
