言語や民族が異なる２８の巨大な連合体「ＥＵ」（欧州連合）。ＧＤＰ全体では米国をしのぐ世界最大の経済圏でありながら、経済は低空飛行を続けている。ギリシャ問題は当面の危機をしのいだものの、独・英・仏のリーダー３国もそれぞれの国内事情を抱えている。ましてやギリシャ、スペイン、イタリア、ポルトガルといった南欧諸国との格差は、ＥＵ協調にどのような影響を及ぼすのか。

　また、経済だけでなく15年1月に起こった、フランスの週刊新聞「シャルリー・エブド」へのテロ事件も記憶に新しい。宗教や民族間の共存は可能なのか。逆に混迷を深めるのか。

　本誌では現地ルポを交え、欧州の今を読み解く。

「日本礼賛本」がベストセラーになり、テレビでは外国人が日本を褒め称える番組が数多く放送されている。ネットの世界では「中国人が日本の美点を紹介した」情報が大人気。まるで日本礼賛ブームといえる状況だ。だが、ここはクールに日本の実力と立ち位置を再点検したい。

Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

What happens when the President of the United States governs one Tweet at a time? When the elected leader of the free world may not have a firm grasp on the names of government agencies, much less an understanding of their intricate inner-workings? In the days following the 2016 inauguration, government personnel searched for answers that didn’t exist, while White House staff scoured halls for employees who would never be appointed.

Fukuyama examines the effects of corruption on governance, and why some societies have been successful at rooting it out. He explores the different legacies of colonialism in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and offers a clear-eyed account of why some regions have thrived and developed more quickly than others. And he boldly reckons with the future of democracy in the face of a rising global middle class and entrenched political paralysis in the West.

以前、新潟県青少年健全育成県民大会というのに呼ばれて、青少年のつながり依存について講演してきた。この講演を最初にやったのは、今年1月の内閣府主催「青少年のインターネット利用環境づくりフォーラム」だったのだが、これがなかなか評判がよく、いろんなところからあの講演をやってくれと依頼が来るようになった。もう今回で4回目ぐらいである。さてこの青少年健全育成県民大会というのは、現役の保護者やPTAではなく、いわゆる「なんとか育成会」クラスの方々が集まる会のようで、全体的に年齢層が高かった。育成会にはいろんなパターンがあるのだが、一般的には元PTA役員などが、すでに子供は大きくなって学校から離れてしまったけど、地域の有識者として学校や子供達に貢献したいという主旨で集まったものであることが多い。さらにスポーツの振興会とかと一緒になったりするケースもあって、本当に色々である。（本文より） 小寺・西田の「金曜ランチビュッフェ　はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kode-nishi.html

As white supremacy, ultra-nationalism, rabid misogyny, and anti-immigrant fervor coalesce, a new and uniquely American form of fascism looms. Could our current moment actually bring about the end of democracy in the United States? Are Americans willing to surrender their freedom and dignity, along with their ongoing struggle for equality, justice, and mutual respect in the face of the rising tide of political and ideological extremism?

Ayn Rand’s complicated notoriety as popular writer, leader of a political and philosophical cult, reviled intellectual, and ostentatious public figure endured beyond her death in 1982. In the 21st century, she has been resurrected as a serious reference point for mainstream figures, especially those on the political right, from Paul Ryan to Donald Trump. Mean Girl follows Rand’s trail through the 20th century from the Russian Revolution to the Cold War and traces her posthumous appeal and the influence of her novels via her cruel, surly, sexy heroes.

In The Great Divide, Joseph E. Stiglitz expands on the diagnosis he offered in his best-selling book The Price of Inequality and suggests ways to counter America's growing problem. With his signature blend of clarity and passion, Stiglitz argues that inequality is a choice - the cumulative result of unjust policies and misguided priorities.

No one could have predicted even two years ago that an African American would take the oath of office as president of the United States in January of 2009. For many, the occasion marks the climax to the civil rights movement and the fulfillment of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream that Americans could be judged on the content of their character and not the color of their skin. This collection, with about 400 letters from Americans of all walks of life, is being created to stand as a symbol of this exciting moment in history.

Among the men and women prominent in the public life of early 20th-century America there are but few whose names are mentioned as often as that of Emma Goldman. Yet the real Emma Goldman is almost quite unknown. Here are powerful, penetrating, prophetic essays on direct action, the role of minorities, prison reform, puritan hypocrisy, and violence.

As the Beijing correspondent for The New Yorker, Evan Osnos was on the ground in China for years, witness to profound political, economic, and cultural upheaval. In Age of Ambition, he describes the greatest collision taking place in that country: the clash between the rise of the individual and the Communist Party’s struggle to retain control.

Virtually all human societies were once organized tribally, yet over time most developed new political institutions which included a central state that could keep the peace and uniform laws that applied to all citizens. Some went on to create governments that were accountable to their constituents. We take these institutions for granted, but they are absent or are unable to perform in many of today’s developing countries—with often disastrous consequences for the rest of the world.

A toxic ideology rules the world of extreme competition and individualism. It misrepresents human nature, destroying hope and common purpose. Only a positive vision can replace it, a new story that re-engages people in politics and lights a path to a better world. George Monbiot shows how new findings in psychology, neuroscience and evolutionary biology cast human nature in a radically different light: as the supreme altruists and cooperators.

The renowned fantasy and science fiction writer China Mieville has long been inspired by the ideals of the Russian Revolution, and here, on the centenary of the revolution, he provides his own distinctive take on its history. In February 1917, in the midst of bloody war, Russia was still an autocratic monarchy: nine months later it became the first socialist state in world history. How did this unimaginable transformation take place? How was a ravaged and backward country, swept up in a desperately unpopular war, rocked by not one but two revolutions?
