Government instability in Europe: which are the most stable and the most unstable states?

  Government instability in Europe: which are the most stable and the most unstable states? Source: revista CULTURA  The whole world is experimenting with new political formulas to adapt to the technical and cultural developments that have already transformed societies. The search for the optimal state is carried out in a different way in almost every country. There are also some dominant ones: the Asian states are betting, at least for the time being, on the growth of authoritarianism and the political alienation of the electorate.

In practice, only 7 of the 4...

EU: Oil Consumption 2009-2023

  wansait.com There are two major components of oil consumption. In the chemical industry, oil is used for fertilizers, obtaining plastics and other materials. At the same time, oil is/was one of the main sources of energy, both industrially, in thermal power plants, and for vehicles. The EU’s plan to reduce pollution by 2030 mainly aims to reduce the consumption of oil and natural gas for energy production. The decline in oil consumption began decades ago and was accelerated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The conflict led to the drastic reduction of imports from Russia, to finding other suppliers for European countries and, above all, to accelerating the transition to renewable energies. The biggest consumers in 2009-2010 were Germany, with 115 million tons, France, with about 85 million tons, and almost equally Italy, Spain and Great Britain, with about 75 million tons annually. see full article

Drama Theater audiences in Europe

 infografie Revista Cultura Why do people go to the theater? Why do people go to the theater? How wide is the participation? What do audiences like and attract to theaters? How big are the ticket sales and how dependent are the theaters on allocations from the state or local government budget? How sustainable are drama companies?

The research included data on infrastructure, resources, organisation, audience, audience, advertising and promotion, as well as viewer responses to closed-ended questionnaires...
