Kelemen Hunor: a Velencei Bizottságnak jogköre nincs, de igaza van

Kolozsvári Rádió (Románia/Erdély) - mer, 29/01/2025 - 13:54

A Velencei Bizottság szerint a választások érvénytelenítése csak „nagyon kivételes” körülmények között történhet meg, és nem lehet kizárólag titkos információkra alapozni. Az online és közösségi médiakampányok révén elkövetett törvénysértések bizonyítása különösen nehéz. Az ilyen ügyekben a jól megalapozott és átlátható döntések kulcsfontosságúak. A Velencei Bizottság véleménye szerint az ilyen határozatoknak pontosan meg kell jelölniük a […]

Brexiters are outnumbered

Ideas on Europe Blog - mer, 29/01/2025 - 13:43

Our political leaders in the UK often point to the 17.4 million people who voted for Leave on a single summer’s day – 23 June 2016 – as the enduring mandate for Brexit.

But is that still a valid justification?

The reality is quite different. Over the years, the number of people who actively support Brexit has dwindled significantly.

Nearly a decade after the referendum, support for staying out of the EU has stagnated, while the desire to rejoin has grown steadily.

In fact, polling data from multiple credible sources shows that those wanting to rejoin the EU now form a clear and sustained majority – a majority far greater than the slim margin by which Leave prevailed in 2016.

This raises an important question: why haven’t successive Conservative governments – or the current Labour government – given us, the people, a new democratic opportunity to revisit Brexit?

Isn’t democracy meant to allow for the evolution of public opinion and offer voters the chance to change their minds?

Brexiters argue that we must wait 40 years before holding another referendum, yet history suggests otherwise.

After the decisive Remain result in the 1975 referendum, the UK revisited its membership in the European Community just eight years later. By that measure, we are already overdue for a fresh vote on Brexit.

So, what’s holding back our post-referendum governments?

Why has there been such resistance to offering a new democratic choice on a matter that so profoundly shapes the future of the UK?

Let’s open the conversation. Watch and share my new video linked below.

Les crépitements des balles baissent d'intensité à Goma

Radio Okapi / RD Congo - mer, 29/01/2025 - 13:17


Depuis ce mercredi matin 29 janvier, un calme relatif s’observe dans la ville de Goma au Nord-Kivu, après plusieurs jours passés sous tension à la suite d'affrontements entre les rebelles du M23 soutenus par le Rwanda et les Forces armées de la RDC (FARDC) et leurs alliés.


C’est depuis la veille au soir que des détonations ont cessé de résonner, à part quelques coups de feu sporadiques entendus tôt ce mercredi matin dans certains coins, notamment aux quartiers Katindo et Kasika.

Replication Data: Trade relations with regard to the Regulation on Deforestation-free Products

SWP - mer, 29/01/2025 - 12:23

The published R-Syntax file can be used to replicate the results reported in the study by Bettina Rudloff, "Die EU zwischen unilateralen Nachhaltigkeitsansätzen und Handelsabkommen. Wege zu besseren Partnerschaften, Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik", which investigates the economic implications of the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) on international trade, focusing on high-risk commodities such as cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soya, and wood. Using trade data from ITC, Eurostat, and UN Comtrade spanning 2018-2022, the study assesses trade exposure, revenue importance, and import relevance for partner countries and regions like Mercosur. The results emphasize the strategic relevance of EUDR-regulated trade flows for both the EU and its partners. This dataset supports replication of the findings and future analyses using similar methodologies.

We do not recommend reusing the data for further analysis, as it will quickly be replaced by more recent and correct data for subsequent years. However, the analysis file can be used to replicate the calculations for future years. 

Further information on the sources can be found in the download area and in the method report.

The data covers the following time period: 01.12.2017-01.01.2022.

Replikationsmaterialien: Globales Ringen um sexuelle und reproduktive Gesundheit und Rechte

SWP - mer, 29/01/2025 - 12:16

In zahlreichen Ländern kam es jüngst durch restriktivere Regelungen zu Schwangerschaftsabbrüchen zu einer Schwächung der sexuellen und reproduktiven Gesundheit und Rechte (SRGR). Diese nationalen Bestrebungen spiegeln sich in Diskussionen in internationalen Foren wider, da sie menschenrechtliche Standards und den Zugang zu Gesundheitsdienstleistungen berühren. Während Deutschland sich stets aus menschenrechtlicher Perspektive für den weitreichenden Schutz von SRGR ausspricht, fällt auf, dass die Bundesregierung SRGR in internationalen Foren inhaltlich wenig konkretisiert – ganz im Gegensatz zu den Opponent:innen. Der deutsche Ansatz der diplomatischen Zurückhaltung birgt die Gefahr, den Gegner:innen eines weitreichenden Verständnisses von SRGR ein Einfallstor für Umdeutungen des Inhalts zu bieten. Wenn die deutsche Bundesregierung ihren globalen Einsatz für Menschenrechte und individuelle Freiheiten auch in der globalen Gesundheit verfolgen will, ist ein aktiveres Eintreten gefordert. Ziel des Beitrags ist es, vor diesem Hintergrund zu untersuchen, in welchem Umfang sich Staaten mit SRGR in internationalen Foren am Beispiel des WHO-Exekutivrats auseinandersetzen. Dazu bedarf es einer detaillierten Analyse der Sitzungsprotokolle.

Die Daten decken den folgenden Zeitraum ab: 01.12.1994-01.01.2023.

Communicating Strategically about What? Europe and China in the Kenyan Media

SWP - mer, 29/01/2025 - 12:10

European actors are increasingly relying on strategic communication tools in their external relations, especially in key partner countries like Kenya. Based on a large-scale media screening and interviews with media experts, this paper examines which issues related to the EU/Europe and China have received the most media coverage in Kenya over the past decade (2013–2023). The paper finds, among other things, that European actors involved in communication efforts increasingly need to communicate about the EU’s role in global affairs and the impact of European decisions, products, and standards on African markets, without resorting to a “West versus China” framing. The research data here includes the embeddings for the articles as well as scripts to understand the topic modelling and the process. For legal reasons (copyrighted data) we cannot share the original research data.

The data covers the following time period: 01.01.2023-01.07.2023.

Replication material: Visualising the Dynamics and Potential of Economic Relations between Germany and Turkey

SWP - mer, 29/01/2025 - 12:04

This methodological report focuses on the analysis and visualization of trade data between Germany and Turkey from 2012 to 2023, specifically examining the export flows from Turkey to Germany in 2023, the import flows from Germany to Turkey in 2023, and the trends in the top sectors of trade from 2010 to 2023. Germany and Turkey maintain strong economic ties, particularly in trade, which forms a crucial pillar of their bilateral relationship. These economic ties, alongside shared political, cultural, and institutional dimensions, highlight the potential for even deeper cooperation.

The analysis is based on data from the UN Comtrade database, processed and aggregated to provide insights into key trends in bilateral trade. The Harmonized System (HS) 2012 classification was used to ensure consistency across the years, enabling the generation of figures that capture the dynamics of trade flows. This report details the methods used to clean and aggregate the raw data into intermediate products, allowing for the replication and further use of the figures and results. While Germany and Turkey's relationship is multi-faceted, this report emphasizes the economic aspect, providing a solid foundation for understanding the evolving trade patterns and their implications for future cooperation.

The data covers the following time period: 01.12.2023-31.12.2023.
