Submitted by christian on Fri, 03/25/2016 - 17:20

A l’occasion d’une conférence organisée le 15 mars 2016, Junior Consulting Sciences Po a présenté les résultats d’une étude qualitative sur la perception du lobbying par les décideurs publics, réalisée pour le compte de l’AFCL auprès de 55 personnes issues du Parlement (élus, collaborateurs et fonctionnaires), de cabinets ministériels, d’administrations centrales et d’Autorités administratives indépendantes.

Cette étude qualitative montre d’abord que pour la quasi-totalité des personnes interrogées, la représentation d’intérêts est « utile » et « nécessaire ».

SUICIDE BOMBERS PSYCHE

Submitted by christian on Wed, 03/23/2016 - 16:03

There is no single psychological or demographic profile of suicide terrorists. No organization can create a person’s basic readiness to die and the task of recruiters is not to produce but rather to identify this predisposition in candidates and to reinforce it. Recruiters exploit the religious beliefs of the would-be bombers using the person’s faith that he/she will receive a reward in paradise in order to strengthen and solidify preexisting sacrificial motives.

WE NEED MORE EUROPE AND NOT LESS TO COMBAT TERRORISM

Submitted by christian on Tue, 03/22/2016 - 17:39

In the face of brutal Jihadist terror, we need more Europe and not less. We need more Europe in coordinating anti-terrorism policies. We need more Europe to strengthen cooperation among national intelligence services and to reinforce control of our external borders. We need more Europe through an effective PNR mechanism that goes hand in hand with right to data protection. We need more Europe in allowing member states the flexibility to have extra spending on counter-terrorism exempted from EU fiscal rules.
