„Eine geteilte Nation“

Die USA nach vier Jahren Donald Trump

Dieser Bericht liefert keine Prognosen darüber, welcher Kandidat Anfang November die US-Präsidentschaftswahl gewinnen und wie sich die Mehrheiten im Kongress verändern werden. Aber was bleibt von vier Jahren Donald Trump? Womit würde der US-Präsident bei einer Wiederwahl in die zweite Amtsperiode starten oder welches Erbe würde sein Herausforderer bei einem Wahlsieg antreten? Letztlich geht es natürlich darum, wo die Vereinigten Staaten nicht jetzt, sondern in weiteren vier Jahren national wie international stehen wollen.

Bleak Prospects?

Multilateral Cooperation in Latin America

All Latin American countries have extensive historical experience with multilateral cooperation, but willingness to engage in regional and international efforts greatly depends on individual governments’ policies and the degree of public interest. Although language, religion, and form of government are the same across almost all of these countries, this commonality has thus far contributed little to establishing effective Latin American multilateralism.

Editorial

International Reports 3/2020

75 years ago, the Charter of the United Nations was signed in San Francisco. It laid the foundation for a new international order based on the ideal of institutionalised cooperation. Cooperation instead of confrontation – that was the lesson learnt from the catastrophes of two world wars. How is international cooperation doing today? Is there any truth in all the gloom, all the voices bemoaning the end of the multilateral world order? Why is it important, despite all difficulties and weaknesses, to continue to defend this policy model?

Multilateral Approaches in Cyberspace

What is the Likelihood of an Internet Governance Regime?

With increasing digitalisation, there is an increased need for internet regulation to protect human rights and democratic principles. Given the growing restrictions on the digital space imposed by authoritarian states, global efforts to protect the original free and open character of the internet, while counteracting fragmentation and restriction of fundamental rights, must be supported.

On the Search for Order in the Middle East and North Africa

Sub-Regional and Sectoral Multilateralism as an Opportunity

To date, multilateralism has failed to establish itself as a model in the Middle East and North Africa, yet the major problems that beset the region cannot be solved by one country acting alone. Some forms of multilateral cooperation have emerged at the sub-regional level and in response to specific issues, such as security in the Persian Gulf, economic cooperation in the Maghreb, and natural gas production in the Eastern Mediterranean. Europe should support such initiatives as they have the potential to bridge the region’s geopolitical divides.

Strategische Autonomie im Übungsmodus

Sondergipfel des Europäischen Rates am 1. und 2. Oktober 2020

Beim ersten EU-Gipfel nach der politischen Sommerpause standen zwei Themenbereiche im Mittelpunkt: Außenpolitik und der Binnenmarkt. Im Gasstreit mit der Türkei sicherten die Staats- und Regierungschefs Zypern und Griechenland volle Unterstützung zu und riefen Ankara zur Einstellung der Provokationen auf. Mit Blick auf Belarus einigte sich das Gremium auf eine Liste von 40 Regierungsvertretern und Beamten, denen die Visumsvergabe künftig verwehrt wird. Zudem wurde beschlossen, die Integrität des Binnenmarkts zu stärken und das Tempo bei der Digitalisierung der Union zu erhöhen.

Tackling Global Challenges

Why We Still Need Rules- and Values-Based International Cooperation

We still need international cooperation because global challenges and problems cannot be solved nationally or regionally. Admittedly, issues such as security, finance architecture, free trade, health, and migration must be worked out at the local and national levels, and in the case of climate change also largely implemented at such levels. Nevertheless, comprehensive solutions can be reached only through international cooperation that produces generally accepted processes, e. g. to preserve – or, where necessary, to promote – peace and security.
