Medier og militarisme – et eksistentielt valg
Min klumme i Arbejderen den 7. juli 2017.
Video-rapporter fra Art Basel 2017
Jeg eksperimenterer for tiden med video – såvel vedrørende international politik og fred som foto og anden kunst. De skabes på min iPhone og jeg er fascineret af de muligheder, denne rivende hurtige tekniske udvikling giver os – for både at nyde, lære, skabe kontakter og lave alternativer til de traditionelle medier. Vil derfor lige nævne at jeg løbende poster […]
Ritzau og DR lyver. Så enkelt er det.

Intellectual nonsense about Syria
There should be a lower intellectual level to the statements by a US Secretary of Defence. There should be a debunking of the unethical behaviour that repeatedly state that there is only a political solution to Syria and continue to use only violence. There should be a discussion about international law here. There should be a discussion of what is […]
Terroren: Der er bedre veje end udenrigsminister Samuelsens krigskaffe
Udenrigsminister Anders Samuelsen siger til DR den 4. juni 2017 at det ikke dur med “dialogkaffe” når man skal bekæmpe terrorisme. Efter at 7 mennesker er blevet dræbt i endnu et angreb i London – hvis gerningsmænd og motiver vi endnu ikke kender – mener han ifølge Ritzau/DR at der skal sættes “hårdt imod hårdt”. Med denne tilgang – krigskaffe […]
Ved Niels Helveg Petersens død
Det er klart der i dag skrives smukke og på mange måder rigtige nekrologer. Hér et et eksempel fra Danmarks Radio med overskriften at Helveg Petersen var indbegrebet af det Radikale Venstre. Men den anti-militarisme, som engang var et grundlæggende element i de Radikales program og politik, var ikke så “indbegrebet” i hans tænkning. Niels Helveg Petersen blev 78 år […]
The future of U.S.-Europe relations
“The Debate” with Jim Walsh, MIT and Jan Oberg, TFF Lund, Sweden – May 30, 2017 Last night “The Debate” on PressTV was devoted to the future of European-US relations in the wake of the NATO Summit, President Trump’s words and omissions and the – historic – words, in particular, of Chancellor Angela Merkel immediately after. Undoubtedly, we are at a turning point in these relations in general and for the NATO alliance in particular. To discuss these issues – past, present and future perspectives – were Jim Walsh, senior research associate at MIT’s Security Studies Program, Massachusetts, and Jan Oberg, director of TFF, Lund. Thanks to PressTV’s excellently structured program and interviewer we touched upon a series of aspects and dimensions around which we found both agreements and slight disagreements – all in a sober tone fit for public education and personal reflection. We hope this debate will stimulate your own thoughts about the future of war, security and peace. We’d be grateful for your sharing it to media people, students and other academics as well as to decision-makers in the field that you may know. See it here – The Debate
