Fair Observer Monthly is a chance for you to sit down, look back and think about the month past. A month lasts 28 to 31 days, a suitably appropriate time to take stock of the world. We publish daily on our website and we select some of our best articles every month in our e-magazine. We will give you context and multiple perspectives on issues that matter. We will inform and educate you. Fair Observer Monthly does what we promise: make sense of the world.
In September, we take a special look at the US presidential election. In two pieces, Ellis Cashmore tells us how celebrity culture is affecting everyone involved in the campaigns — from Donald Trump to Kamala Harris to Taylor Swift. Emma Johnson shares her concern that Harris may not be connecting with her Democratic base on the Palestine issue. In the background, a recent Supreme Court decision heightening the power of the federal courts makes the choice of the next president — who will appoint federal judges for the next four years — all the more crucial. Atul Singh explains why.
Turning to Asia, Hassan Shad speculates on the impact the US election could have for Pakistan, given Trump’s close relationship with populist Pakistani leader Imran Khan. Peter Isackson talks about the case of a US citizen slain in Israel, and M. Habib Pashya shares why he thinks Indonesia will fail to implement a green energy transition.
We also focus on South America. Karin Schmalz continues her series on Brazil with an analysis of the country’s agribusiness industry, which runs a feudal system in rural areas. Helder Ferreira do Vale discusses strategies for bringing democracy about in Venezuela, and Luiz Cesar Pimentel tells how devastating fires are spread through the Amazon.
