A Global Influencer? Global Britain and the Integrated Review

After officially leaving the last of the EU’s structures in December 2020, the UK is now finally able to put its ‘Global Britain’ agenda into practice. Since the slogan was coined there has been much debate on what Global Britain is supposed to mean for the direction of the country. Is it a conscious pivot away from Europe in favour of renewing ties to former colonies like Australia and New Zealand, a so-called Empire 2.0? What will that mean for security, trade and British influence in the world? The UK government hopes to answer these questions with the publication of its Integrated Review: Global Britain in a Competitive Age.

Pragmatic and wary of Change: Icelanders' Views on International Cooperation

A KAS-funded public opinion poll about Icelanders' foreign policy preferences

What are Icelanders' views on Iceland's partnerships on the global stage? Which global partners would they prefer Iceland to cooperate with more? How do they weight different policy priorities vis-à-vis states like the US, China, and Russia, and how do they value Iceland's current and future relationship with the EU? In this KAS-funded report carried out in cooperation with the Institute of International Affairs at the University of Iceland (IIA), Dr. Silja Bára Ómarsdóttir, Professor of International Affairs at the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Iceland, presents the findings from a public opinion poll carried out by the Social Science Research Institute at the University of Iceland (SSRI) between 16 November to 9 December 2020.

Romania's judiciary before the ECJ

An investigation into the so-called “judicial laws”, the legality of the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM), and rulings of the Romanian Constitutional Court

Since joining the European Union, Romania has been in the process of evolving towards harmonization with the fundamental principles for which the EU stands. The European Commission has been supporting this process through the Cooperation and Control Mechanism (CVM) from the moment of the accession in 2007. As part of the monitoring, which was originally planned to be short-term but now lasted for almost a decade and a half, the European Commission reports annually on the progress of the member states Bulgaria and Romania with regard to the situation of the rule of law: At the moment, several cases dealing with central aspects of the Romanian judicial system are pending before the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ). In addition to an assessment of the controversial judicial reforms in Romania in 2017-2019, the question of the extent to which the CVM recommendations of the EU Commission are binding is another subject of decisions to be expected shortly. The analysis of the cases pending before the Court of Justice in Luxembourg and the applications of the Advocate General already allows for a number of conclusions to be drawn.

COVID-19 und kein Ende

Brasilien im multiplen Krisenmodus

Brasilien durchlebt aktuell die schlimmste Phase seit Beginn der Pandemie mit erschreckend hohen Todeszahlen und einer Vielzahl grassierender Virusmutanten, welche vermehrt zu Reinfektionen sowie schweren Verläufen führen. Als globales Epizentrum der Pandemie steht das Land international in der Kritik. Mit Marcelo Queiroga soll nun der mittlerweile vierte Gesundheitsminister der aktuellen brasilianischen Regierung die Probleme beheben und Schwung in die schleppende Impfkampagne bringen. Die teils gefeierte Rückkehr von Ex-Präsident Lula auf die politische Bühne lässt den Präsidentschaftswahlkampf Fahrt aufnehmen und setzt die Regierung Bolsonaro zusätzlich unter Druck, wird aber von vielen Brasilianern auch vehement abgelehnt.

Der Wahlkampf in Israel 2021

Wahlen werden erneut rechts entschieden

Zum vierten Mal innerhalb von zwei Jahren werden die Israelis zu den Urnen gebeten. Einmal mehr bestätigt sich der Trend, dass in Israel weniger politische Programme als Gruppierungen um Führungsfiguren gewählt werden. Die Gretchenfrage in der israelischen politischen Landschaft lautet: „Wie hast Du’s mit Bibi?“ Mit Gideon Sa’ars Tikva Chadascha („Neue Hoffnung“) formiert sich eine neue Partei gegen Premierminister Benjamin Netanjahu (Likud), die die gleiche Klientel im rechten politischen Spektrum anspricht. Allerdings halten sich die Königsmacher rechts von Netanjahu viele Optionen offen. Die Vergangenheit hat gezeigt, dass es noch zu früh ist, den durch einen Korruptionsprozess angeschlagenen Premier abzuschreiben.
