Euro Sovereign Debt Crisis 2011
-Gauri Puranik
Current economic conditions have exposed the crack in the EU’s foundation. A single currency always implied greater political union and that has never happened. There is no federal European government, and so there is no way for the EU to set a central tax policy or budget. Each nation inside the euro is sovereign with its own political dynamics. It is an irony that a politically created project has no overall political framework.

Rupert Murdoch becomes News of the World
-Gauri Puranik
The Newsmaker becomes the biggest News: Rupert Murdoch, the 80 year old Media Mogul has definitely seen better days. The phone hacking scandal has fireballed into a much larger crisis that has seen the exit of top executives of News of the World and the UK Police Chief Paul Stephenson. It has brought much shame to the Prime Minister David Cameron and has put Rupert Murdoch and his son James in the Hot Seat, as a Government appointed Panel questions them regarding the scandal. .

2011 Assembly Elections: Key takeaways
-Dr Suresh Srinivasan
With India at the ‘crossroads’ of transforming itself from an ‘emerging economy’ to a ‘fast growing developing economy’, the 2011 Assembly election results provide a number of subtle messages, which need introspection.

With the UPA-II regime reeling under a series of corruption scams, the Lokpal Bill is once again in the news.

Iran's Nuclear Programme - A Threat or Farce?
- Revathi Sivakumar

On May 17, 2010, Iran announced an agreement it had negotiated with Turkey and Brazil. Iran said that it would ship and store 2,640 pounds of low enriched uranium to Turkey. In return, Iran would receive 265 pounds of material enriched to 20 percent from Russia and France. Last year, too, Iran had announced a similar deal, but had not kept to its commitment. Hence, experts suspect that this time too Iran is not sincere, and is just making announcements in order to deflect sanctions that are threatening to be imposed on it by the Big Five.

- Revathi Sivakumar

“The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia,” Otto von Bismarck, a former prime minister of Prussia in the 19th century had once said.
