2/ Samtidig har formatet jo den fordel, at man kan linke til andre artikler, som omhandler / uddyber det, som man kun selv berører lidt overfladisk

Njah, som fagansvarlig kan man skrive så langt, som man kan få redaktøren med på ;-) Men det skal jo have karakter af leksikon-opslag. Nogle korte og koncise - andre lidt længere, når emnet er mere kompliceret.

Danmark og USA - Indbyrdes relationer gennem historien - Lex Forholdet til USA har stor betydning for Danmark. Det gælder for vigtige områder, som sikkerhed og økonomi. Amerikansk populærkultur har også stor indflydelse i Danmark. Politisk har USA været opfatte...

Danmarks forhold til USA er ikke hvad det har været.
Men hvordan har det egentlig været? Det kan man læse om i denne artikel, som jeg har skrevet til lex.dk.

Can anybody recommend a short and comprehensive text, that provides an overview of the history of industrialisation - from a global and non-Eurocentric point of view?

Antonio Gramsci, the famous Italien marxist and political activist, was born on this day 135 years ago.
Here is an interesting article, explaining how he became known outside Italy - or more precisely: in the English speaking part of the world:

Det er trist at se den europæiske højrefløj gå Trumps ærinde Trump og hans danske og europæiske fanboys beskriver Europa som et kontinent i politisk og økonomisk forfald. Virkeligheden fortæller noget helt andet.

Pluralistic: Sorry, eh (13 Jan 2026) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

Cory Doctorow on AI:
"This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not."

Trump loves Saudi Arabia. It’s an authoritarian society, which punishes dissent and is owned by the wealthiest family on earth.

Trump hates Europe. The governments there are democratically elected.

The future of America must be a vibrant democracy. Not Trump’s authoritarianism.

Today, people all over Denmark and Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) took to the streets, to show our contempt for the American bullying of our nations.
We will not bow to threats. Greenland belong to its people!

Trump recently claimed that "EU was formed to screw the US".
Anyone with a glimpse of historical knowledge knows he's wrong.
But on the other hand: Maybe now is the time, just for once, to prove him right?
Fun fact: EU has roughly 110 mio. more inhabitants, e.g. consumers, than the US.

PS: Greenland has semi-autonomous status within the Danish Realm. Maybe someday, it will be fully independent. But that's up to the Greenlanders to decide. Not some random guy in the White House, who cannot even get the facts right.

The Danish National Archives holds a ground-breaking document proving that President Donald Trump is wrong about Greenland In a high-security storage facility at the Danish National Archives (Rigsarkivet) is a 100 year old sheet of paper with an American promise about Greenland. This is the fascinating story which Preside...

"They say they have rights to it. I don’t know if that’s true. I don’t think it is, actually." Says Trump about Denmark and Greenland.
But the US recognised Danish sovereignty over G. already in 1916. And we have the archives to prove that!

jo jo - men nu er den græske rente jo heller ikke hvad den har været ;-) Begge lande ligger og roder omkring de 3% - meget langt fra de 30+% som den græske rente var, da det stod værst til.....
Bortset fra det, så håber jeg da alt det værste for Macrons regering og dens økonomiske politik.

Guillaume Mouralis: “law and justice can be powerful tools of emancipation” When international justice is lacking, citizens’ tribunals appear as a means of kick-starting justice. Guillaume Mouralis analyzes the historical model of the Russell Tribunal.

Preparing for a public lecture I'm giving at the museum tonight, on the 1967 Russell Tribunal on US war crimes in Vietnam, I just stumbled on this interesting text.

Dahl er "dybt skuffet" over at regeringen ikke sætter spørgsmålstegn ved ICC - en institution DK har arbejdet for at fremme i årevis. Jeg er dybt skuffet over, at en del danskere bevidstløst efterplaprer den misinformerende israelske propaganda, der skød op som en gejser efter arrestordrene.

Så i øvrigt kortet gengivet første gang på det fine museum Mosede Fort, hvor det bruges til at fortælle om, hvordan de krigsførende magter under 1. VK ivrigt saboterede hinandens telegrafkabler.
Politikere og journalister kunne med fordel gå oftere på museum......

1. So - the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant - www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11.... The one strong prediction I have - this is going to lead to US financial sanctions against ICC employees, and possibly the ICC as an institution. That is going to get ugly for the EU.
