Along the Burma road / Banerjee, Dilip   Journal Article
Banerjee, Dilip Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract Yunnan was one of the worst-hit areas during World War II, almost completely destroyed by Japanese bombing. By today the province has been rebuilt, however, and the old Burma Road - that icon of the war, used to transport support material for the Allies into China - has been upgraded into a six-lane highway. Once it crosses the Chinese border, however, this potentially lucrative land link between China and India falls into disrepair, despite years of plans to upgrade it. On the Indian side, the Ledo Road (or Stilwell Road, after an American general), links up to the Burma Road, and is indeed motorable. But it too falls into disrepair on the Burma side.

Is the European Union an obstacle on the road to greater Europe / Remy, Gilles   Journal Article
Remy, Gilles Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract WE ALL KNOW which states make up the European Union, so everything is clear about it, while "Greater Europe" remains so far a fuzzy idea. De Gaulle who looked at the problem from the geographic and historical points of view meant Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals. Today, half a century later, there are people who still doubt Russia's European nature. In an interview with Dmitry Rogozin (before he was appointed vice premier) a French journalist was taken aback by the remark 'When in Vladivostok I do not doubt that I'm in Europe; in Marseille, however, I'm not that sure."
