The Afghan-Pakistani Relations

Trapped in their Security Dilemma

Die Konflikte in Afghanistan und Pakistan überlagern sich seit Jahrzehnten und haben eine friedliche Lösung in Afghanistan erschwert. Die Eskalation in Kaschmir kam zu einem denkbar ungünstigen Zeitpunkt; die Friedensgespräche zwischen Taliban und den USA befinden sich in einer möglichen Endphase und stellen die verfassungsmäßige Ordnung, das internationale Engagement in Afghanistan sowie die regionale Sicherheitsarchitektur neu zu Verhandlung.

Education for all?

Uganda's Plan for Africa's Refugee Crisis

For years now, the landlocked country has been among those countries hosting the highest number of refugees and offering a safe haven in the midst of trouble spots such as the Democratic Republic Congo and South Sudan. Currently, an estimated 1.3 million refugees reside in Uganda. Since 61% of refugees are minors, the humanitarian crisis affects specifically the young generation. Such circumstances put additional pressure on Uganda’s constrained education system. Uganda has begun to address these issues by focusing its refugee management policies on education and the country has herein developed an internationally-praised action plan. What is the state of refugee education in the developing country Uganda, whose own citizens are already troubled by shortcomings in the education system?

From Work to Working it

Eminent Women in Uniform Share Experiences that Prove They're more than just a Pretty Face

Women are intelligent, creative, strong, self-driven and talented. They are also to be seen beautiful and aesthetic. Why is it, then, that women are often valued based on their looks rather than their abilities or accomplishments? The fact remains that a woman’s identity isn’t based on something as superficial as beauty, and it extends a lot deeper than her appearance. Conversations with the following women who work in the field of technology, engineering, security and state affairs confirm that, indeed, behind a woman’s exterior is a whole plethora of talents and traits - asserting herself in male-dominated occupational fields thus achieving impressiveness.

Uganda’s Rising Middle-Class: A Roaring Lion or a Sleepy Kitten?

Several authors write about Sub-Sahara’s rising middle class as “African Lions” with the potential to drive prosperity . But how does the potential of Africa’s Middle Class really look like? Is a ‘rising African middle class’ overhyped? When describing the economic development of a country, one of the key parameters is looking at the distribution of different income classes, since they provide a lot information about the actual disposable income and economic reality of the population in comparison to the GDP or other macroeconomic measures. ©photo by Jim Joel Nyakaana

„The Troubles“ again? – Der Brexit und die Terrorismusgefahr in Nordirland

Der Brexit reißt in Nordirland alte Wunden auf: Er schürt Unruhe unter der Bevölkerung und fördert Extremismus und eventuell sogar einen neuen Terrorismus. Eine neue Kampagne von Anhängern nationalistischer Milizen bzw. Überresten nationalistischer Paramilitärs hält die Region und Großbritannien seit Januar 2019 in Atem. Die seit Januar 2017 anhaltende Regierungskrise in Nordirland gilt als die längste Zerreißprobe einer Demokratie zu Friedenszeiten ohne handlungsfähige Regierung.
