Bolivia: when is a democracy not a democracy?
By IGNACIO RAMONET

AN OCCUPATION THAT CREATES CHILDREN WILLING TO DIE
Facility 1391: Israel's Guantanamo *
By JONATHAN COOK
Representatives of the Israeli left and Palestinian political
forces signed a peace agreement in Geneva last month,
promising a Palestinian state in the territories occupied in
1967, apart from 2.5% of the West Bank ceded to Israel for
settlements. Its capital will be East Jerusalem and it will
control all the Old Town except the Jewish quarter and the
Western Wall. This shows peace is possible and the Israelis
have partners in building it. Ariel Sharon's virulent
denunciation of the agreement proves that it has embarrassed
his government: refusing it would mean continuing violence.

Israel: beyond hope *
By LEAH TSEMEL
During the past three years 382 Palestinian and 79 Israeli
children have died in the violence between the communities.
And all the children of the country live in daily fear.

DIVORCE BETWEEN SOCIETY AND POLITICAL LEADERSHIP
Old and new Europe against war *
By CATHERINE SAMARY
The Iraq war showed there was a convergence between eastern
and western Europe and that people were far more vocal and
active against the war than they have been for accession to
the European Union.
Translated by Barry Smerin
DEMOCRACY THAT DISMISSES THE ELECTORATE
Government without the people *
By ANNE-CÉCILE ROBERT
Rather than blaming 'populism' for the lazy and ignorant
election of unacceptable rulers, we need to revivify real and
active democracy nationally and internationally.
Translated by Barbara Wilson
THE OLD VESTED INTERESTS FUND ELECTION CAMPAIGNS
United States: politics without the policies *
By SERGE HALIMI AND LOÏC WACQUANT
It is usually the refusal of rulers to listen to the people
that gives demagogues a chance to gain power, sometimes
helped by the size of their personal fortune. Now California
has acquired a new governor through a media coup.
Translated by Harry Forster
CHANGED LANDSCAPE OF THE CAMPAIGN FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE
Another world is possible *
By FRANÇOIS HOUTART
Social forums form a federation of resistance to neoliberal
policies, and the Second European Social Forum in Paris this
month may help to build a Europe not governed wholly by
finance.
Translated by Gulliver Cragg
SOCIAL INEQUITY, GRINDING POVERTY, STATE NEGLIGENCE
Nepal: old-style Maoist revolution *
By CÉDRIC GOUVERNEUR
Poor, corrupt Nepal has been in chaos in the year since King
Gyanendra dismissed the prime minister and dissolved
parliament. Political parties want the electoral process
reinstated. Maoist rebels want an end to the monarchy.
Fighting broke out again after a ceasefire failed in August.
Since 1996 some 8,200 people have been killed.
Translated by Jeremiah Cullinane
THE NORTH AFRICAN COMMUNITY WANTS EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES NOT INTEGRATION
Franco-Arabs turn to the right
By KARIM BOURTEL
The French integration model is not working, and the
country's North African community suffers from
discrimination, poor schooling, unemployment and political
disenfranchisement. The left has failed to give its
representatives political power: can the right do better?

HOW BIG PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES CONTROL MEDICINE
Case notes on corruption
By PHILIPPE RIVIERE
Doctors rely on information supplied, and research done, by
major drugs companies: so 'Big Pharma' directly or indirectly
influences the choice of prescriptions for patients.
Translated by Gulliver Cragg

HOW AN ONLINE SEARCH ENGINE INFLUENCES ACCESS TO INFORMATION
Telling Google what to think *
By PIERRE LAZULY
Google seemed a brilliant idea - an internet search engine
based on an algorithm that quickly chose and displayed the
most relevant and popular websites. But the web-savvy can
easily manipulate it for the purposes of propaganda or
advertising.
Translated by Gulliver Cragg
For sale - to whom? *

'I MERELY WRITE DOWN THE WORDS AND TEST THEM'
South Africa's voice of freedom *
By MARIE LUISE KNOTT
JM Coetzee, the South African novelist who defines himself as
a 'secretary of the invisible', receives the Nobel prize for
literature next month.
Translated by Jeremiah Cullinane
We have art so that we shall not die of the truth' *
This is what JM Coetzee said when he accepted Israel's top
literary award, the Jerusalem Prize, in 1987. The prize is
awarded every two years at the Jerusalem book fair to a
writer whose work explores the freedom of the individual in
society.
JM Coetzee on novels and history *
A NEED FOR THE BEST OF EUROPE
Continental drift *
By CARLOS FUENTES
Translated by Gulliver Cragg
