Politics

Politics is highly important in our life. Every morning we start working day with news on TV, on the radio or read the latest news in our favourite papers. We cannot live without news. Political events affect everything - talks after dinner at the average family, stock exchange activities, and relations between countries and so on.

The latest gas conflict, for example, affected attitude of European countries suffering of cold and having problems at many branches of their industries towards the Ukraine.

Politics influence diplomatic relations between countries; political decisions can either improve these relations or break them.

All changes of domestic politics of one country are expected to influence its international relations with other countries. For example, the new president of the USA Barak Obama is bringing into life establishment of diplomatic relations with the Cuba and at the same time the problem of the American military prison in Guantanamo is to be solved as soon as possible.

Israel and Palestine are for years in the state of long-term contradiction and war, so the non-stability in the Gaza region has practically stopped the economic development of the area.

Language problems in Switzerland and Canada influence the domestic politics of the countries but they can also influence the international relations of these regions with other countries in Europe and American continent as well.
