WHETHER OR NOT THE COLLAPSE OF ALGERIA'S DEMOCRATIC EXPERIMENT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED, IT WAS NOT. THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY NOW FACES THE DIFFICULT TASK NOT OF INSTALLING DEMOCRACY BUT OF RESTORING PEACE. THE ALGERIAN LEADERS APPEAR TO BE WILLING TO SACRIFICE THE WELFARE OF THE ALGERIAN PEOPLE FOR AS LONG AS THEY FEEL THEIR CONTINUED HOLD ON POWER IS INSECURE. SHOULD TENS OF THOUSANDS MORE ALGERIANS BE SACRIFICED IN THE HOPE THAT THE REGIME WILL ULTIMATELY LOSE HEART AND AGREE TO HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE AND POLITICAL COMPROMISE? UNFORTUNATELY, WESTERN LEADERSHIP'S FAILURE TO INTERVENE ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTRY'S FLEDGLING DEMOCRACY SIX YEARS AGO HAS RESULTED IN A TENSE FOREIGN POLICY SITUATION.

Der Beitrag analysiert den Charakter der libyschen Opposition gegen Qadhdhafi, um Rückschlüsse auf mögliche Umsturzversuche und nachfolgende Regime zu ziehen. Einer politischen Instabilität, die von Staatsstreichen und Gegenputsche gekennzeichnet ist, räumt die Autorin bei der Einschätzung der libyschen Perspektiven die größte Wahrscheinlichkeit ein.

The purpose of this article is to present and reaffirm the importance of shared public health management on the Brazil-Bolivia border. To this end, bibliographic and documentary surveys were carried out, as well as interviews with 14 experts who form the Community of Inquiry, an investigation method developed by John Dewey that provides a useful lens for studies on shared management, as it emphasizes the plurality of actors beyond the actions of the State, demonstrating how public health problems are dealt with in the region. Specifically, we detail part of COVID-19's first operations (February to June 2020) in the municipalities of Corumbá and Ladário (Brazil) and Puerto Quijarro and Puerto Suarez (Bolivia). Recognizing the political dimension of the problematic situation, we rekindle the importance of governance for combating the COVID-19 pandemic and for the shared management of other urgent local epidemics, such as dengue and H1N1 on the border.
