Vivaldi gibt den Ton an – Belgien hat eine neue Regierung

Länderbericht Belgien

Fast 500 Tage nach der Parlamentswahl steht die sieben Parteien umfassende sogenannte „Vivaldi-Koalition“. Mit Alexander De Croo (Open VLD) wird ein flämischer Liberaler Premierminister. Ein erstaunliches Bündnis, das dort wider Erwarten zusammengefunden hat. Ob die Koalition in Moll oder Dur das Land durch die immensen Herausforderungen wird führen können, oder das Bündnis am Ende eher das Schicksal Beethovens Unvollendeter teilen wird, bleibt abzuwarten.

The World HandCOV’d: COVID-19: Implications for Germany’s Security and Defense Policy

The paper is part of the project The World HandCOV’d: Assessing longer-term implications of the pandemic disruption for international security

Key takeaways: - The Bundeswehr needs to be structurally involved — going beyond administrative assistance — in the fight against future pandemics and accordingly empowered and (financially) equipped. - The structures and capabilities of the Bundeswehr should become more flexible so that the Bundeswehr is able to ensure national and alliance defense and homeland security, as well as execute dedicated foreign deployments and training missions at the same time. - Health must be considered, much more than before, as an integral part of foreign and security policy. As part of the network-approach, experts who deal with pandemic prevention and biological hazards should also be on the National Security Council. - Even if Europe is busy coping with the pandemic affecting its own countries, it must not neglect the support of the states in the neighborhood (and beyond). Implementing this and explaining it to the European population is an immensely challenging — but necessary — task for European decision-makers.

Bolivian Policy Brief 02/2020

Tecnología y logística electoral en contexto de pandemia en Bolivia

Los sucesos de octubre y noviembre del año 2019, posteriores a la jornada de votación de las anuladas Elecciones Generales, añadieron un episodio más al listado de crisis políticas por las que Bolivia ha transitado a lo largo de su historia. Teniendo éste la particularidad de haber sido atravesado por una pandemia de nivel global que, como consecuencia, abre paso a un momento que establece un escenario signado por una crisis que, dada su complejidad, ha sido denominada multisectorial o multifactorial porque, sin duda alguna, involucra múltiples variables que fueron generando un escenario de incertidumbre y riesgo a lo largo del 2020.

Spanien im Griff der Pandemie

Covid-19 bedroht nicht nur Menschenleben und die Volkswirtschaft, sondern auch die demokratische Kultur des Landes

Der Kampf gegen COVID-19 in Spanien verschärft die politische Situation im Land. Vor dem Hintergrund der Pandemie präsentieren sich die spanische Politik und ihre Akteure auf eine Weise, die nicht nur die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung und die Volkswirtschaft gefährden, sondern auch die demokratische Ord-nung und Kultur des Landes: Denn der teilweise unbedachte Umgang mit den Institutionen der freiheit-lichen Demokratie und die ungenügende Verständigungsbereitschaft zwischen den politischen Lagern erschüttern zunehmend den notwendigen demokratischen Grundkonsens.

Bergkarabach – der unendliche Krieg im Südkaukasus

Zivilbevölkerung unter Beschuss

Seit fast einer Woche gilt eine „unbefristete Waffenruhe“ im aserbaidschanisch-armenischen Krieg. In Moskau und im Beisein des Außenministers der Russischen Föderation wurde diese Kampfpause ausgehandelt. Von einem Waffenstillstand sind die Parteien weit entfernt. Ziel sei es zunächst, gegenseitig Gefangene und die Leichen der Getöteten zu übergeben. Ist nun wieder alles beim Alten und der Konflikt zumindest „eingefroren“?
