81. Constellations of State Fragility: improving international cooperation through analytical differentiation

    

    Lorch, Jasmin / Sebastian Ziaja / Jörn Grävingholt (2024)

    The “Constellations of State Fragility” model, developed at IDOS, provides a multi-dimensional model to measure state fragility. In doing so, it avoids putting countries with different problems into the same "boxes". Moreover, the model is also sensitive to risks of fragility in the Global North.

    In this brief, we discuss ideas for the support of a just and green structural transformation in BMZ portfolios that are • innovative: they suggest new priorities or new types of policy support and • concrete: they can easily be incorporated into ongoing international cooperation programmes.

86. 2024 – Asia’s bumper election year

    

    Lorch, Jasmin (2024)
    The Current Column, 04 March 2024

    Free and fair elections lie at the very heart of democracy. Yet the subjection of an elected government to the rule of law, the protection of minorities and possibilities for civic participation are also key, because elections can also be a way for undemocratic actors to pursue their aims.

89. The EU’s Global Gateway and China’s Belt and Road: two strategies and two realities for the Southern Mediterranean

    

    Furness, Mark (2024)

The Global Gateway and Belt and Road strategies are mechanisms for building influence and accessing resources in a competitive global geostrategic environment. There are nevertheless important overlaps and potential synergies that could be exploited for the benefit of MENA societies as well as the EU and China.
