Le Monde diplomatique
.svg)
The monthly newspaper Le Monde diplomatique (referred to as “Le Diplo” by its French readers ), published in various language editions in France and several other countries , publishes detailed analyzes and commentaries on international politics and cultural issues.
French edition
The first issue appeared in May 1954 with the headline "Old Diplomacy - New Diplomacy". In 2015, an average of 159,095 copies were distributed, of which 128,511 were sold in France. 38 editions in a further 16 languages (26 including online editions) lead to a total circulation of around 2.2 million worldwide.
Le Monde Diplomatique is 49% owned by the association L'association des Amis du Monde diplomatique , most of whose members are also readers of the newspaper, 51% are owned by the French daily Le Monde . The independence of the publication is to be preserved through the limitation of the advertisements and through the capital participation on the part of the readership.
The paper takes a critical stance towards economic liberalism and globalization and takes a position on the left . An editorial from 1997, which criticized the deregulation of the financial markets, written by the editor-in-chief Ignacio Ramonet , led to the establishment of Attac , a non-governmental organization that campaigns, among other things, for the introduction of the Tobin tax (also: financial transaction tax). The magazine is therefore referred to, among other things, as the "Kampfblatt" or "Zentralorgan" of globalization-critical circles.
more publishments
The magazine “Manière de voir” appears in French every two months . The series, which began in 1987, consists of themed issues, mostly with articles that have already been published. The similar German-language half-year series "Edition" has been published since 2007, but contains a larger proportion of new texts.
In the tradition of political geography , the newspaper also publishes the Atlas of Globalization under its name . It presents the global political, economic and social situation in the form of cartographic images with short texts. The editions, which appear every three years, differ greatly from one another. In France, editions appeared in 2002, 2005 and 2008. The German editions, again with their own share of texts and graphics, appeared in 2003, 2006, 2009 and 2012. The 2015 atlas was created without a French template. The thematic atlases Climate (French 2007, German 2008) and 20th Century (French 2010, German 2011) appear every three years .
Editions of the Meat Atlas and similar supplements have been published since 2013 , each in cooperation with the BUND , the Heinrich Böll Foundation , the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation and other organizations. They are under a Creative Commons license (CC-BY-SA).
Editions by language
The first non-French-language editions only translated the French contributions; as do most issues that appear as a supplement to a daily or weekly newspaper. However, where Le Monde diplomatique also appears as a separate newspaper, the editorial offices make their own contributions, which are each marked as such.
