Το φάντασμα της παγκοσμιοποίησης

St David’s Cathedral, Pembrokeshire, Buckler, John Chessel

 

Του Νίκου Τσούλια

Μέχρι τα μέσα της δεκαετίας του 1980 και πριν την διάλυση της Σοβιετικής Ένωσης ήταν η έννοια της διεθνοποίησης / του διεθνισμού – «ιδεολογικό αξίωμα» της αριστεράς – που κυριαρχούσε στη διεθνή σκηνή. Και το περιεχόμενο της διεθνοποίησης, που αποτελούσε και μια βασική ορίζουσα των κοινωνικών κινημάτων της Ευρώπης ήταν συνδεδεμένο με την γενικότερη προαγωγή των δικαιωμάτων των εργαζομένων και την ενίσχυση της δημοκρατίας και έτι περαιτέρω με την ανάπτυξη της φιλίας και της συνεργασίας των λαών αλλά και με την προοπτική ενός κόσμου ειρήνης, διαρκούς κοινωνικής προόδου και σοσιαλιστικών ιδανικών.

About the Day

What: In November 2011, during the UNESCO General Conference, the international community proclaimed 30 April as "International Jazz Day". The Day is intended to raise awareness in the international community of the virtues of jazz as an educational tool, and a force for peace, unity, dialogue and enhanced cooperation among people. Many governments, civil society organizations, educational institutions, and private citizens currently engaged in the promotion of jazz music will embrace the opportunity to foster greater appreciation not only for the music but also for the contribution it can make to building more inclusive societies.
