The blog

I blog in English and French about issues that interest me. The blog is a sort of notebook to react to commentary and books, and to develop my thoughts and take stock of events from time to time. It is also a place for debate and sharing with EU watchers, journalists, academics and commentators.

The broader focus is on the big picture politics of the European Union, in particular the use and abuse of power. I tend to cover the eurozone, France, the United States, Great Britain, and the media and blogs. A list of milestone or “major” posts is available on my “Best of the Blog” page.

In a previous incarnation, this blog used to be called Letters from Europe, which I began in September 2010 when I first arrived in Brussels, focusing exclusively European affairs. Other blogs I’ve written include France/Islam, a short-lived blog criticizing neoconservatives’ and others’ myths about France and Muslims, and my original personal blog launched way back in 2004 (where I notably published book reviews).

    Dear Letters,
    for the fifth year our EU information and education center is writing and publishing bulleting for the European Commission representation office in Slovenia. It is called EUekspres and you can find it on http://www.euekspres.eu. Unfortunately it is only in Slovene language. On Wednesday we are staring new year with a new web site and new topics. One of them are EU related blogs. We have two house blogers from Slovenia and we would also very much like to publish blogs with EU related topics from other EU countries.
    We found this one to be very interesting (http://euroletters.wordpress.com/2011/04/30/does-%E2%80%9Ceuropean-journalism%E2%80%9D-exist-guest-post/) and I would like to kindly ask you if there is a possibility to translate it and publish it on the EUekspres web site, of course with the full name and picture of the author and link to his/hers web page (blog).
    Since Wednesday is just a few days away, I would very much appreciate if you can give me the answer as soon as possible.
    Best regards,
    Matjaž Štefančič
