Publications

The German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) publishes four independent publication series. IDOS researchers publish their current research results in Discussion Papers, Policy Briefs and Studies. Visiting scholars and cooperation partners also have the opportunity to publish their research results in one of the IDOS series. Publications from the series Analysen und Stellungnahmen, Briefing Paper and Two-Pager / Zweiseiter, which will be discontinued in 2022, will continue to be available online. The fourth publication series is for opinion pieces: The Current Column regularly comments on the latest developments and issues in international development policy.

IDOS researchers also regularly publish their research results in peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed German and international journals and publication series of other research institutes and institutions as well as with renowned book publishers. In addition, they use blogs and online platforms of partner institutions to communicate the Institute's research and advisory activities to an interested public.

    With or without you: how the G20 could advance global action towards climate-friendly sustainable development

    Bauer, Steffen / Axel Berger / Gabriela Iacobuta (2019)

    G20 represents 80% of global carbon emissions and 80% of global wealth. This briefing paper argues how the club's economic and political weight may be harnessed for ambitious action towards implementing the Paris Agreement and 2030 Agenda in spite of domestic agendas and geopolitical odds.

  7. Time for an update: how to revisit the EU's framework for international mediation engagements
    Time for an update: how to revisit the EU's framework for international mediation engagements

    Bergmann, Julian / Toni Haastrup / Arne Niemann / Richard Whitman (2019)

    The first two years of implementation of the EU Global Strategy focused on advancing the EU’s security and defence capacities as well as its civilian crisis management missions through the adoption of the 2018 Civilian CSDP Compact. While this prioritisation was reasonable, it is now time to focus on the EU’s diplomatic tools to prevent and resolve violent conflicts in order to achieve the ‘full cycle implementation’ of the EU Global Strategy. In this context, the tenth anniversary of the Concept on Strengthening EU Mediation and Dialogue Capacities provides an opportunity to reflect on the EU’s role as an international mediator. Drawing on research findings from the EU as International Mediator Research Network, we identify entry points for a revision of the EU’s framework for international mediation and more effective deployment of mediation as a tool of conflict prevention and crisis management.

    Högl, Maximilian / Benedikt Erforth / Niels Keijzer (2019)
    The Current Column, 06 June 2019

    The 2019 European elections did not lead to the wave of right-wing populism that many had feared they would. However, It is now time for the European Parliament to capitalise on the fresh relevance afforded to it by the European elections
