Common Future for Mankind and a Renaissance of Classical Culture: Executive Intelligence Review; Volume 43, Issue 27 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781535186728)

June 28-The Schiller Institute's international two-day conference gathered more than 300 guests from 24 nations and four continents for an intense and profound dialogue on how to stop the immediate danger of world war, by creating instead a new paradigm of global cooperation and development, based on a dialogue of civilizations and the unique creativity of mankind. Conference participants were very highly alerted to the escalation of western geopolitical confrontation against Russia and China, and the danger of thermonuclear war, and passed a resolution calling for an immediate end to sanctions against Russia and Syria. To end the war and to reconstruct war-torn Syria and the greater region of Southwest Asia, was a key focus of the conference, during which Dr. Bouthaina Shaaban, member of the presidency of Syria, addressed the conference audience and engaged in a moving Q&A via live stream video now available at: www.newparadigm.schillerinstitute.com. Conference participants were also invited to attend a "Musical Dialogue of Cultures," organized jointly by NICE e.V. and the Schiller-Institut e.V. as a public, freeadmission concert in a community church. The Camerata Geminiani, the international chorus of the Schiller Institute, and others performed classical European music in the Verdi tuning, along with choirs presenting folk songs from Russia, Ukraine, and China, before an excited audience of close to 500 guests and 150 musicians. It became clear, that only by creating a new paradigm for mankind, a renaissance of beauty, based on the sharing and promoting of each civilization's highpoints of their respective cultures, can humanity be saved from the abyss. The Conference Panels The first conference panel of five speakers on "The strategic crisis is more dangerous than at the height of the Cold War" was addressed by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder and president of the Schiller Institute; Chas Freeman, former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia; Col. (ret.) Alain Corvez, former adviser to the French Defense and Interior Ministries; Lt. Col. (ret.) Ulrich Scholz, former fighter pilot, NATO planner, and lecturer on air warfare; and American economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche. Speaking on the second panel, "The Crisis of the Trans-Atlantic Financial System and How To Overcome It," were Jacques Cheminade, candidate in the French presidential elections; Marco Zanni, head of the M5S delegation in the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee of the European Parliament; Daisuke Kotegawa, research director of the Canon Institute for Global Studies, Japan, and former representative of Japan to the IMF; and Leonidas Chrysanthopoulos, former Greek ambassador to Poland, Canada, and Armenia, and former secretary general of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization. The third panel, "The New Paradigm Represented by the 'One Belt, One Road' Policy," heard Dr. Ren Lin, researcher on the One Belt, One Road policy at the Chinese Academy of Social Science; H.E. Hamid Sidig, ambassador and extraordinary representative of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to Germany; and Egbert Drews, board member of MARWIKO AG, Berlin. Sunday's deliberations continued the "Silk Road-New Paradigm" panel with a strong emphasis on Syria and the need to end geopolitical confrontation and foreign-funded terrorism, and to create peace and prosperity in the region. After hearing her prepared video address on the situation in Syria, the audience had the extraordinary opportunity to engage in a moving, 30-minute live video dialogue with H.E. Dr. Bouthaina Shaaban of the Presidency of the Syrian Arab Republic, who asked everyone to bring about a new paradigm of creative human development ("an intellectual Silk Road") instead of war and destruction.
