peer agreement (net): +1card shuffling(n.) / to shuffle the cards (v.) Explanation: meaning depends on the context...to assign new posts/roles to key players/ministers/groups/etc. in the region or to complicate matters or to stir things up -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2007-02-08 16:44:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Less literally and more idiomatically for the context given, I might say "Who pulls the strings in the region('s power game)?" or if it concerns money and backhanded deals, you could also say "who's paying the piper in the region?" (The original idiom is "he who pays the piper calls the tune) |

1 hr confidence:
here: responsible for sowing discord Explanation: I think the expression should be translated in different ways depending on the context. In the sentence you've mentioned I would probably say "responsible for sowing discord". But in the link you posted it could be translated as "alliances have shifted" - I think that's what's meant here. |
