Iraq’s New Government Between Domestic Constraints and External Pressures

Leading without a Base?

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi took office in May 2026 as a surprise candidate – with no political party, no seats in parliament and a cabinet left incomplete, in the middle of a war that pits Iraq’s two key part-ners, the US and Iran, against each other and has closed the Strait of Hormuz. So far, his lack of a politi-cal base appears to have worked in his favour rather than against him, however. What this means for his capacity to govern is a different question, and the answer seems to depend on the file: an advantage wherever power runs through the executive, a handicap wherever it must be assembled vote by vote.

Zwischen Reform und Realität – Politische Partizipation von Menschen mit Behinderung in Jordanien

Inklusion weltweit – aktueller Stand aus Jordanien

Jordanien hat in den vergangenen Jahren wichtige Reformprozesse angestoßen, um politische Teilhabe auszubauen und Menschen mit Behinderungen stärker in gesellschaftliche und politische Strukturen einzubinden. Neue gesetzliche Grundlagen, institutionelle Entwicklungen und internationale Initiativen prägen diesen Wandel und setzen Impulse für mehr Inklusion. Gleichzeitig stehen diese Entwicklungen in einem Kontext, in dem bestehende Strukturen, gesellschaftliche Rahmenbedingungen und laufende Umsetzungsprozesse die tatsächliche Teilhabe weiterhin limitieren. Vor diesem Hintergrund bewegt sich die politische Partizipation von Menschen mit Behinderungen in Jordanien im Spannungsfeld zwischen Reformanspruch und Realität.

Jordan’s Gas Discoveries and Its Changing Energy Landscape

Domestic and Regional Economic Implications

This paper explores how Jordan’s natural gas developments could reduce energy import dependence and strengthen economic resilience. While GDP growth remains modest and energy imports still dominate, the reassessed Risha Gas Field offers significant long-term supply potential. The key challenge is infrastructure and utilisation—particularly the need for a major pipeline to enable distribution and exports. The paper highlights opportunities across power generation, industry, and transport, positioning natural gas as a central driver of diversification, competitiveness, and energy security.
