161. On the edge: delays in election results and electoral violence in Sub-Sahara Africa

     

     Saibu, Ghadafi (2023)
     Discussion Paper, 19/2023

     In the complex process that unfolds across the stages of elections management, the length of time elapsing between elections and results announcement is often tensed. But, does the length of time passing between elections and announcement of elections results increase the risk of electoral violence?

163. Successfully "holding the line": the EU and the outcomes of COP28

     

     Koch, Svea / Steffen Bauer (2023)

     At the previous “COP27” UN climate change conference, the EU took many by surprise with a gamble it appeared to have taken. Europe conceded to developing countries’ demands with regard to establishing a designated funding mechanism to deal with loss and damage resulting from climate change literally in an overnight turnaround. It had expected to yield returns with regard to mitigation ambition, yet, these did not materialize at COP27. Still, at COP28 the EU needed to be seen to walk the talk and deliver on loss and damage finance while return on investment remained uncertain until the very end of COP28. This blog critically appraises the EU's consistency in „holding the line“- a metaphor used by civil society organisations to refer to the need to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, as stipulated in the Paris Agreement - and the EU’s role in securing the outcome of COP28. It also provides an outlook towards COP29 in Azerbaijan and argues why and how the EU will need to step up its game to brace itself for the next round of tough international climate negotiations.

165. Aid for trade might facilitate ‘deep’ trade agreements, but it’s not that simple

     

     Stender, Frederik / Tim Vogel (2023)

     International trade, vital for inclusive growth, faces shifts as preferential trade agreements (PTAs) expand beyond tariff reduction. “Deep” PTAs now cover diverse policy areas, requiring significant domestic reforms, but compliance can strain developing countries. Frederik Stender and Tim Vogel write that trade-related assistance could help implement these agreements, but increasing commitments could also jeopardise the effectiveness of aid for trade at the bilateral trade level.

169. Kohärenz stärken: wie ein integrierter Ansatz in der deutschen Afrikapolitik gelingen kann

     

     Bergmann, Julian (2023)

     Die deutsche Afrikapolitik braucht ein neues Ambitionsniveau für kohärentes Handeln. Notwendig ist ein integrierter Ansatz, der unterschiedliche Politikfelder stärker miteinander verzahnt. Dafür braucht es ein ressortübergreifendes Narrativ und neue Institutionen und Verfahren zur Koordinierung der deutschen Afrikapolitik.
