Corneliu Bjola. ARI82/2019 - 9/7/2019.

Emerging security challenges in NATO’s southern neighbourhood
Ian O. Lesser. ARI 79/2019-3/7/2019.

From the depths to the surface: conflict drivers in the MENA region
Joost Hiltermann & Maria Rodríguez Schaap. ARI 68/2019 - 12/6/2019.
Failing to acknowledge the 2011 Arab uprisings as a breaking point announcing the need for a regime overhaul in the region, and therefore a long overdue revision of Western policy, would be a mistake with serious adverse consequences.

Miguel Otero-Iglesias & Ilke Toygür. Expert Comment 20/2019 - 11/6/2019.

Subject and object: Europe and the emerging great-power competition
Luis Simón. Expert Comment 17/2019 - 30/5/2019.
The growing rivalry between the US and China compels Europeans to wake up to some hard facts. One of them is that we live in a world that is increasingly defined by great-power competition, in which the norms and institutions Europeans hold so dear may well take a back seat.
EU-Japan EPA and SPA: more than a partnership, a necessary turning point for both
Ana María Goy Yamamoto. Expert Comment 16/2019 - 29/5/2019.
