Bosnien und Herzegowina - Situationsbeschreibung

Geteilter Staat - auch in der Corona-Krise

Wie geht Bosnien und Herzegowina mit der Corona-Krise um? Eine gemeinsame Bekämpfung von Covid-19 erfolgte nicht. Auch jetzt entscheidet jeder für sich - ein Gremium für das gesamte Land wurde nicht gebildet. Eine Abstimmung von Maßnahmen war nicht wahrnehmbar. Die Zahlen der Betroffenen blieben zum Glück gering. 152 Personen sind in Bosnien und Herzegowina an Covid-19 verstorben, fast 2.000 Personen sind genesen, die Zahl der Infizierten liegt unter 3.000. Die Zahlen der Neuinfizierten sind sehr gering.

COVID-19 crisis exposes U.S. vulnerabilities in its supply chain

Is globalization still the model for the United States?

In this election year in the United States one is reminded of President Trump’s iconic slogan of his 2016 election campaign, “Make America Great Again.” He promised he would bring well-paid manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., increase U.S. exports and reduce the American trade deficit. COVID-19 has confronted his efforts with the highest unemployment levels in America since the Great Depression in the 1930’s. This serious dilemma has renewed a sense of urgency to create more manufacturing jobs in America and to become less reliant on outside sources for critical goods.

De-escalation zones in Syria

Background and status quo of a paradox. In fact, the protection for the Syrian population that had been promised when the zones had been created was not provided at any time.

In May 2017, as part of the Astana peace talks, Russia, Iran and Turkey agreed on the establishment of four so-called de-escalation zones in Syria. These zones were designed to be areas in which all hostilities should cease and in which civilians should be protected from attacks. The deal had been preceded by a massive deployment of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime, followed by increasing international pressure on Syria and its ally Russia.

Restoration of Russia and the new world order

Contribution of KAS Moscow to the series "The World HandCOV'd"

Over the past 20 years, the Russian government has managed to dodge the impending state collapse and leave behind the economic chaos of the 1990s. This reinstatement as a major power was achieved primarily through incremental but effective upgrade of the armed forces. However, there is still a critical dependency on raw material exports.
