Tensions have
flared up again in Fiji with more talk this week that
another coup is not far away. Helen Clark and Winston Peters
have done some skilful negotiating to get Fiji's Prime
Minister Laisenia Qarase and army commander Frank
Bainimarama together in Wellington today for last-minute
talks, to try and avert a crisis. But with both parties thus
far refusing to bend to the other's demands, what's the
likelihood that talks will succeed?

Professor of Political Studies, Otago University.
The
Pope's high-profile visit to Turkey this week has sparked
protests from thousands of Turkish Muslims. They're angry
about a speech given by Benedict the 16 th in September, in
which he quoted a 14th century Christian emperor who
described Islam as evil and inhuman. In the same week, the
country's EU accession talks have hit a stumbling block
after Turkey refused to lift a trade emgargo against Cyprus.

Live Like
You Love Me is a sustainable living webzine that was created
out of the recent Future Leaders Programme, run in
partnership with the NZ Leadership Institute. The programme
challenged participants to find an issue they were
passionate about, and bring it to life.

Another project that's come out of the
Future Leaders Programme is Dear New Zealand. In this day
and age, dialogue is part and parcel of a participatory
democracy, and Dear New Zealand is all about giving a voice
to young New Zealanders who have something to say.
