On September 7, 2016, US intelligence officials forwarded an investigative referral to former FBI officials James Comey and Peter Strzok concerning allegations that Hillary Clinton approved a plan to smear then-candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian hackers, according to information given to Sen. Lindsey Graham by the Director of National Intelligence.

When we talk about elections, we often focus on the campaign horse race, who is up or down in the polls, the back and forth between candidates, and maybe a little about which issues matter most to voters. Sometimes there’s even a little discussion about rules that have denied voting rights for hundreds of thousands of Americans of color.

What we rarely talk about is how we vote.

Trump’s October surprise has come a few days early, with The New York Times publishing a lengthy report on the president’s tax information spanning two decades. The Times reports Trump often paid little or no federal income taxes during the period the information covers, that his companies are hemorrhaging money, and that he is responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars in debt.

C’est le cas d’Élise Van Beneden, jeune avocate de 34 ans, présidente depuis quelques mois d’Anticor, l’association de lutte contre la corruption, active dans une centaine de dossiers aujourd’hui à l’instruction ou sur le point d’être jugés.

The Islamic State’s infamous rule over vast areas of Iraq during 2014 and 2016 not only led to a humanitarian crisis, but also left the country’s economy depleted.

Six months after parliament passed the Coronavirus Act 2020, which gives the government powers to impose lockdowns and other restrictive social distancing measures (measures that have been accompanied by stiff fines), thousands of Britons packed London’s Trafalgar Square bearing signs reading “We Do Not Consent” and “Think Before It’s Illegal” during a rally that was billed as a “We Do Not Consent” anti-lockdown demonstration.

A l’occasion des élections sénatoriales du 27 septembre 2020 qui renouvèleront la moitié de ses membres, nous vous proposons de relire cette tribune du politologue Thomas Guénolé, en date du 29 juin dernier.

On a souvent tendance, quand on parle des « règles » en économie, à utiliser un même mot pour décrire des réalités très différentes. Olivier Favereau[1] avait proposé, il y a de cela plus de 30 ans, une distinction et une séparation entre différentes règles. Compte tenu de l’importance que jouent les règles dans les comportements tant micro que macro-économiques, c’est un sujet capital[2].
