In today's broadcast we'll talk about two terms rule of George W. Bush administration and the hopes and concerns related to the recently launched Barack Obama presidency. We will discuss the rule of neo-conservatives in the United Zjedonoczonych and their importance for political and economic processes in the world. We will try to answer the question of whether and how the "Bush doctrine" was unique in American history, and how much earlier was the result of geopolitical and economic strategy of the United States. Whether and how the neoconservatives have managed to transform American society, the extent to deepen pre-existing problems (eg, social inequality, human rights workers, racism, restriction of civil liberties, etc.).
In the context of the current political shift in the United States pose the question whether Barack Obama presidency and the fact that Democrats have a majority in Congress is a sign of "return on the left" in American politics, and if so what would that phrase mean on the basis of concrete solutions to economic and political-legal, social change and political philosophy. Whether and in what way Mr. Obama is a "new quality" and to what extent part of the system, a man of the establishment. What can we expect from Obama and his political camp on the international stage in the light of the financial crisis on the basis of policy toward the Global South, Russia, Europe, under the protection of the environment, etc.
We will also what the current situation, including the pre-electoral mobilization Obama supporters in the U.S. mean for social movements and civil society organizations in the United States and the world. How to Obama quotes a radical anti-war movement antybushowski, alterglobalist movements, anti-racist, feminist, etc., and also what is the Polish perspective in assessing changes in the ocean?
