Jean Poperen, c'est les deux à la fois : l'intellectuel qui a structuré une tendance persistante du PS dans les années 70-80 *et* le maire de Meyzieu ancré dans le concret. Un socialisme qui ne choisissait pas entre la théorie et le terrain. La Fondation @j_jaures lui rend hommage. jean-jaures.org/agenda/jean-po…

Exactly the kind of strategic adaptation @drjacktaggart @TomChodor and I analysed last year in a couple of articles for @phenomenalworld and Global Policy. We also showed the limitations of this conditional embrace of industrial policy for development. Links below:

Mocked, dismissed, disparaged, France has long thought differently about the world, and seldom been afraid to say so. Do not expect fellow Europeans to give it credit, even when they agree economist.com/europe/2026/02…

Wolfgang Streeck's response to my question asking if he's a nationalist: DSJ: How do you respond to left critics who see you as being a nationalist? WS: I don’t care about clichés; I say what honest thinking leads me to conclude is true. Otherwise, the answer depends in part on what is meant by nationalist. If nationalism means feeling superior to others on account of your origin, this is both morally destructive and politically explosive. There are people in the United States who believe that their country is morally special, “the indispensable nation,” a “shining city on a hill,” somehow in charge of setting things right everywhere, the “American way.” But if nationalism means to accept a special responsibility for the country, the society, that has brought you up, then it is, in my view, an essential element of citizenship—only in this case, I would prefer to speak of patriotism rather than nationalism. In the case of Germany, of course, something else plays a role. As a German, you are expected to feel some lasting responsibility for the unprecedented breakdown of civilization—of humanity—that occurred in your country. However you may define that responsibility, in my view it includes reminding oneself of the possibility that something as unimaginably terrible as this could really happen, right where you grew up a few years later, in what everybody would have thought was a civilized country. Being that close to the scene of the disaster, you have, I firmly believe, some special duty to remind yourself and perhaps others of this apparently real possibility. I consider this expectation legitimate, which played a role when I decided not to take on American citizenship, because it would have seemed to me like an all-too-cheap cop-out. In this context, I cannot avoid confessing that I have a strong emotional attachment to Bertolt Brecht’s “Kinderhymne,” or “Children’s Hymn,” written in 1950 as an alternative national anthem for the young German Democratic Republic. There are decent English translations, but inevitably they cannot fully render the masterful poetic craftsmanship of the original. Here is the first verse, first in German, then in English: Anmut sparet nicht noch Mühe Leidenschaft nicht noch Verstand Dass ein gutes Deutschland blühe Wie ein andres gutes Land. (Spare no grace and spare no labor, Passion, heart, nor intellect, That a just and noble Germany Like all others may be kept.) thenation.com/article/cultur…

Why are far right parties leading so many opinion polls? They aren't nostalgically trying to create a better yesterday but are v modern & adapted to the world of 2026. Unless mainstream parties understand them they won't be able to resist or defeat them. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
