THE TURKISH QUESTION

An interview between Jens Stoltenberg, NATO secretary, and President Erdogan has brought to light the fundamental role of Turkey in maintaining peace in the Eastern Aegean: relations with Libya and the control exercised over Afghanistan and Ukraine. Festa and Sapelli comment on the moment of Turkey and its president, at home and in the relationship with Europe.

THE REFUSAL OF HISTORY

The celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of Napoleon's death sparked criticism from several American intellectuals. In particular, a professor at the University of Virginia recalled the racist, sexist and tyrant Napoleon. Festa and Sapelli take advantage of this to talk about "presentism", or the tendency to update the ways, uses and customs of other times, giving it a moral connotation.
