Briefing Paper (in German: Analysen und Stellungnahmen) are always four pages long and discuss ongoing and controversial issues in international relations. By including recommendations, the series primarily aims at policy makers, practitioners, and representatives of the (professional) media industry. Besides, the series is also open to everyone interested in developmental issues.
All editions of the series can be downloaded in full text and for free on our website.
In 2022, “Briefing Papers” and „Analysen und Stellungnahmen“ were merged in the new publicatiojn series „IDOS Policy Brief“.

Refugee crises are caused by wars, political repression, terrorism, food shortages and natural disasters. What can development policy, including humanitarian aid, do in order to combat these root causes?
In New York, member states are engaging in a dialogue on the reform of the UN Development System. What are the contentious issues, and how could a reform which makes the UN "fit for purpose" and also works towards overcoming the North-South polarisation within the UN system be structured?

While the upcoming UN climate summit in Paris is a crucial moment to sign a new global deal on climate, the real homework will only begin afterwards. The EU should lead by example. Five building blocks are of particular importance.
Impact investing intends to finance projects, organisations and social enterprises to intentionally create a measurable social or environmental impact alongside a financial return. Their advocates see impact bonds as a useful instrument for financing the 2030 agenda, but many challenges remain.

Putsches cause international actors to push for military withdrawal. Achieving this requires more than sanctions – designating parts of the military as cooperation partners, addressing structural challenges within the country and selecting context-appropriate tools to do so are also essential steps.
This briefing paper argues that civil wars ending through military victory do not necessarily provide the better chances for sustainable domestic peace. Peace negotiations, demobilization, addressing underlying grievances and building local trust can all be key to overcome legacies of violence.
