A very busy and exciting week is about to approach. The next session of the UN General Assembly kicks off next Tuesday and then there’s a bunch of other major world events scheduled around it. First one of course is the Social Good Summit starting today and the Clinton Global Innitiative’s 2013 Annual Meeting will also take place in New York City these coming days. So, there are plenty of world affairs to blog about. I will try to follow the UNGA to be able to give you a detailed analysis like the ones I did last year. While waiting,…
Happy Sunday! I hope you are all having a great weekend! Again, I was quite busy at work this past week,as the number of new posts show. I am going to have to work out a new schedule for blogging to be able to keep this thing going. Thanks for everyone for sticking around and a warm welcome to all my new followers! Most of the world affairs news are still on Syria. There were two major events this week, the G20 summit and the EU Foreign Ministers Council, but still only guesses on the possible interveniton. We will probably…
Happy September, people! How do you feel about fall approaching? I am half sad and half happy as always at this time of the year. Summer is my absolute favorite season, I love the hot weather and oh how I will miss my summer wardrobe! 🙂 But then I am also eagerly waiting for ‘the season’ to begin and for things to re-accelerate. We could call this one a Syria special issue since the news and world affairs blog posts were all about Syria this week. I found some really good analysis among them. On world affairs: Congratulations President Obama…
9 questions about Syria you were too embarrassed to ask I’ve never imagined there could be anything entertaining written about Syria at this point, but this one is the best I’ve read so far. Informative and entertaining at the same time.
After last week’s four-day-long weekend this one lasts only one day in Hungary. A pretty annoying practice really, although I have to add yesterday was the first “working Saturday” when I actually worked. On past ones I only went to work or not even that. The one day weekend turned out to be quite unpleasant though, so I don’t even mind it’s almost over already. Unfortunately, I also had some major PC issues this past week and I wasn’t even able to use my laptop for a couple of days. Lessons learned: 1. A dysfunctional keyboard for a graphomaniac like…
Happy weekend dear readers! Especially for everybody in Hungary who are just in the middle of a four-day-long weekend due to a public holiday on Tuesday. Hope you are all having a great time! I have some serious thinking to do during this weekend, still in the middle of serious profession-wise decision making. Although I still have no idea where it is going to take me (even geographically), I enjoy this process a lot. I know something good is going to come after either way. I am looking forward to being able to reveal everything, but until then, I’ll keep…
Happy Sunday and Happy Summertime Everyone! I still can’t give away too much details, but this is probably one of the most exiting time periods in my professional life so far, so exciting that I am still not quite sure where it is going to land me. At the same time I also have to make difficult decisions in my personal life trying to end an old and really damaging cycle. Meanwhile, it seems like the real summer holiday season have finally come in world affairs, so this is going to be a real brief weekly round-up now: On world…
Hello everyone, how are you all doing this Sunday? I just read recently on two separate professional blogs how interviewing for a job can be character-building and how they recommend to not only keep your profile updated even if you’re not looking for a job, but to go out and interview every once in a while. Just to see how you’re doing. Well, although currently I am indeed seriously looking, I can tell you, there is something to this. If the interviewers are good, and the whole process is professional and everything, you can learn a lot in interview situations….
Happy Sunday people, how is summer going for you all? I hope you are having a wonderful weekend either you’re working or vacationing these days. Here’s a collection of some of my favorite reads this week. World affairs news of the week: This Could Actually Work – Why John Kerry’s Middle East peace push isn’t a fool’s errand OK, I know it’s too early to really rejoice about this, and that the last talks barely lasted a few weeks with no concrete result, but still. Democrat administrations had such great achievements on that front in the past, I am just…
Happy Bastille Day to everybody reading from France! Just when I announced layoff season last week, things got going again. Which I don’t mind at all since I can’t take off time for a holiday this year anyway. Let’s see what I have found worthy of reading and sharing this week. On world affairs: Laura Dean’s Cairo Diary Please keep following Laura Dean’s Cairo Diary on Lawfare. Yes, I am recommending this for the second time, but it really is that good! How We Are Failing Syrian People Yet another piece on how the international community is failing to do…
