Libyan Imbroglio: Navigating the Complexities of Finance, Power Struggles, and External Interference

It delves into critical aspects such as the fragmentation of institutional structures, the pervasive influence of armed militias, and the deep-rooted corruption that undermines governance and economic stability.

Die zweite ­Verteidigungslinie Europas

Richtungswahl in der Republik Moldau

Der verheißungsvolle Fluchtort für viele Menschen in der Republik Moldau ist die Mitgliedschaft in der Europäischen Union. Die offizielle Aufnahme von Beitrittsgesprächen in diesem Juni – nur zwei Jahre nach Antrag – war gerade deshalb ein so wichtiger symbolischer Akt. Präsidentin Maia Sandu kann ihn „zu Hause“ als historischen Erfolg verbuchen. Es ist das klare politische Ziel ihrer Regierung, das Land so schnell wie möglich in die EU zu führen. Kann die Republik Moldau mit ihrer wechselhaften Geschichte, geprägt durch die sprachliche und kulturelle Nähe zu Rumänien, eine große russischsprachige Minderheit sowie die Vergangenheit als Teil der Sowjetunion, den Sprung nach Europa schaffen? Ein Blick auf die Chancen und Risiken eines ambitionierten Vorhabens.

Aliyev has a new Azerbaijani parliament elected: The voter turnout of 37% speaks for itself

In the parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan, which were moved up due to the COP 29, President Ilham Aliyev's ‘New Azerbaijan’ party, which has been in power since 1995, won on paper. Although it only won 67 out of 125 seats, there will de facto be no independent representatives in the new Azerbaijani parliament.

Spotlighting South African Women in Socio-Politics

Women's Month

In South Africa, Women's Month, observed in August, is a time to honour the contributions and achievements of women, particularly in the context of the country's struggle for freedom and equality. The month commemorates the 1956 women’s march against apartheid laws, which was a pivotal moment in the fight for racial and gender equality. Women's Month serves to acknowledge the progress made toward gender equality while also highlighting ongoing challenges.
