The recent statements from President Trump and his deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller concerning Greenland repeat claims made a year ago. My analysis in Ethics & International Affairs of the claims from Trump regarding Greenland still holds. www.ethicsandinternationalaffairs.org/online-exclu...

How should we understand events like the public Quran burnings in Denmark and Sweden and the Danish law passed to stop them? Can the realism/moralism distinction in political theory be applied to such cases? The answers to these questions are connected, I suggest: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
