Another Sea: the Arab Spring, the European Debt Crisis and the Tragedy of Neoliberalism
About This Novel
Will the "changing weather in the Mediterranean" create a "spring" or bring a "winter" to the world? This is a book of testimony depicting the changes at both ends of the Mediterranean. The author will discuss the resistance of Southern European citizens in the face of the European debt crisis and the "Arab Spring" movement in North Africa. The two incidents may seem unrelated, but in fact they involve deeper international political and financial issues. The Mediterranean is undoubtedly charming: it is a stage for multi-ethnic and multi-national trade and cultural exchanges. However, since the rise of the distant Atlantic world, the Mediterranean world has declined. In the twentieth century, it even became the frontier of the global capitalist system. Today, the European debt crisis and the "Arab Spring", which are the biggest aftermath of the US financial tsunami, are all happening here.
