Subject: THE NON-WEST AND THE WEST
SUMMARY
This week on www.openDemocracy.net, the complexities of China and the
Islamic
world are put under the microscope of expert commentary.
----------------------
WHERE IS CHINA GOING?
The globalisation of China is one of the huge stories of the 21st century.
Jean-Pierre Lehmann, just returned from Beijing, writes a generous,
historically-informed survey of the country's condition, concluding with a
qualified optimism that this immense country is on the road to an open
society.

DEMOCRACY IS FOR EVERYONE
In the text of a lecture delivered at London's Goethe Institute, the Spanish
scholar Gema Martin Munoz argues that the west needs to learn that politics
in the Arab and Islamic world are far more diverse than 'fundamentalism'
conveys.

THEY HAVEN'T GONE AWAY, YOU KNOW
Paul Rogers sees in recent Pakistan attacks and Moroccan arrests evidence
that the al-Qaida network is planning for the long-term.
