peer agreement (net): +2neocolonial designs Explanation: In the plural, "visées," can mean "intentions" or "designs." See: https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/visée "Designs" can mean "a plot or hostile scheme, often to gain possession of (something) by illegitimate means." See: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/designs I think "designs" works well because it has a negative connotation that seems appropriate here, especially given that these visées are described as "écueils" or "pitfalls" - that is, something to be avoided. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 37 mins (2013-05-07 15:29:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here are a couple of links in which "neocolonial designs" is used in similar sense: From http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2008/0812/p01s08-woeu.... : "For Georgians, whose forces are retrenching after failing to retake the separatist province of South Ossetia, the war appears just the latest futile effort to unite their country against what they see as Moscow's neocolonial designs." From http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-hughes/un-fiddles-whil... : "And it's highly likely Russia's stance has been shaped by domestic political forces and a Putinian grudge against NATO for embarrassing Moscow by exploiting the Libyan ordeal to suit Western neocolonial designs." |
