`Everybody does it'
`Everybody does it'
Despite having 5,000 years of recorded history to evolve, children are still responding to ``no” from parents with: ``But everybody else is doing it. (Fill-in-the-blank’s) mom is letting him do it. Why can’t I?” Parents are using the same rebuttals, stolen from their own parents: ``If everyone else jumped off a cliff (or a bridge, or in a river), would you do it, too?”

The right stuff in foreign policy
The right stuff in foreign policy
CAMBRIDGE - Some critics complain that U.S. President Barack Obama campaigned on inspirational rhetoric and an ambition to "bend the arc of history," but then turned out to be a transactional and pragmatic leader once in office. In this respect, however, Obama is hardly unique.

Safe drinking water - an unfinished agenda
Safe drinking water - an unfinished agenda
Without water there is no life. Clean drinking water and sanitation are basic human rights - essential to life and to all other rights. Lack of access to clean water and sanitation is a silent crisis that destroys livelihoods and claims more lives through illness than any war claims through guns.

What is the international community?
What is the international community?
PARIS - Despite the frequency with which the phrase "international community" is invoked, its precise meaning - like its origins - is difficult to discern. And, as France's recent intervention in Mali has shown, this ambiguity lies at the root of many of today's most urgent foreign-policy problems.

Missing America
Missing America
BERLIN - Madeleine Albright, the former U.S. secretary of state, once described the United States as the "indispensable nation." Current developments around the world are proving her right. But the proof has been almost entirely negative: Today, America's importance has become apparent from the absence of U.S. leadership in one crisis after another - an absence that is most i...

Syria: diplomatic code
Syria: diplomatic code
Sometimes, in diplomacy, a translator is not enough. You need a code-breaker. This is very much the case with the latest round of diplomatic statements about the civil war in Syria, currently the biggest armed conflict anywhere in the world. So here they are, deciphered.

Europe's lost Keynesians
Europe's lost Keynesians
CAMBRIDGE - There is no magic Keynesian bullet for the eurozone's woes. But the spectacularly muddle-headed argument nowadays that too much austerity is killing Europe is not surprising. Commentators are consumed by politics, flailing away at any available target, while the "anti-austerity" masses apparently believe that there are easy cyclical solutions to tough structural p...

Green sovereign wealth
Green sovereign wealth
PARIS - At the end of 2011, sovereign-wealth funds' assets under management amounted to $3 trillion, following 237 direct investments worth $81 billion that year. Some experts even estimate SWFs' assets to be worth $6 trillion. This means that SWFs, the avatars of state capitalism, are now twice as rich as the world's hedge funds, the totems of liberal capitalism’s excesses.

Europe's national wild cards
Europe's national wild cards
DUBLIN - Europe's needs and Europeans' desires are at odds. At a time when strong, coordinated action is needed to stave off financial collapse in the European Union, the popular support that drove European integration over the last six decades is waning.

Hugging a burning tree
Hugging a burning tree
PRAGUE - We are all brought up to recycle paper to save trees. We get countless e-mail admonitions: “Please consider the environment before printing.” Indeed, environmentalism was born with a call to preserve the forests.
