Les cryptomonnaies et autres Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) ont fait couler beaucoup d’encre ces derniers mois.
Die EU hat maßgeblich zum Verhandlungserfolg des Paris-Abkommens im Jahr 2015 beigetragen und sucht nun nach Wegen, die Umsetzung international voranzubringen. Dazu sollte die Klimapolitik in Einklang mit möglichst vielen außenpolitischen Vorhaben gebracht werden, auch der Handelspolitik. Freier Handel mit Umweltschutzgütern oder die Anwendung nationaler Emissionsstandards auch im Außenhandel können den Klimaschutz global beschleunigen. Da die rechtliche Flankierung dieser Agenda durch die Welthandelsorganisation (WTO) und ihre Streitschlichtungskompetenz nur auf längere Sicht möglich sein wird, sollten sich die EU und ihre Mitgliedstaaten vor allem an zwei Fronten engagieren. Erstens sollten in den Foren der Vereinten Nationen (VN) und der WTO die Querverbindungen zwischen den Politikfeldern noch transparenter werden. Zweitens hat die EU mit ihren regionalen Freihandelsabkommen einen Hebel, um mit ihren Partnerländern die Umsetzung der Klimaziele voranzutreiben. Bestehende Handelspartnerschaften sollte die EU auf ihre »Klimaverträglichkeit« hin überprüfen. Gelingt es der EU, an dieser Schnittstelle die Außenbeziehungen zu gestalten, kann sie sowohl ihre Rolle in der Klimapolitik aufwerten als auch in der Handelspolitik proaktiver agieren.

Norway’s Foreign Minister, Ine Eriksen Søreide, was honored at an evening reception at IPI on March 14th during the annual Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) gathering at the United Nations. Foreign Minister since October, 2017, Ms. Eriksen Søreide is the first woman to occupy the post, and in her remarks, she emphasized why she thinks that women’s participation in peace processes is so important.
“It is about building resilience, it is about making peace, and it is about making peace last,” she said. “Those three factors are very important, and for all of those to happen, women have to be part of this, fully integrated, from the beginning to the end.”
By way of example, she mentioned Norway’s involvement in the peace process in Colombia. “Norway is one of the guarantor countries,” she said, “and what we did was try to, from the beginning, integrate women into the whole process, and this guided our diplomatic efforts.
“I wanted to make a very particular point of this,” she said “because it’s easy to think that this is about women as victims, but it is not only about that, it is also about women as community leaders. Bear in mind that the peace process in Colombia was partly driven forward by women’s organizations and civil society organizations.”
Looking out at the large crowd that filled the room, she said she was pleased to find so many men there. “It is of vital importance that we engage men,” she said, “and I think it is even more important to engage young men, and the reason I am saying that is where we see across the world today that women’s rights are under immense pressure, is mostly in areas where young men are getting increasingly marginalized.”
She noted that while most people ascribed Norway’s wealth and economic growth to its oil, there was, in fact, a more compelling argument for this audience. “The most important thing is having women as part of the work force,” she said. “That accounts for a larger part of our GDP than oil does. So that is a bit of a lesson to everyone. To include women in the work force produces more economic growth, which leads to less marginalized groups in most regions and countries, and that is a win/win situation.”
Prior to her current job, she was the minister of defense, the third woman in a row to fill that post, and she recounted with some delight a happy consequence of that fact. “We’ve had female defense ministers – no female foreign minister until now – but so much so that young girls had a tendency to ask – and they’ve asked me several times– ‘Can a man be minister of defense in Norway?’”
On March 15, 2018, the Syrian armed conflict entered into its eighth year. Since 2011, attempts to facilitate a political solution to the Syrian conflict have either failed or stalled. Amidst this deadlock, one track that has not stalled is the civil society track. Against the odds, progress can be observed at this level as Syrian civil society has become better organized and more tightly interconnected, and as its voice in the process has grown stronger.
This issue brief looks at progress on this track through the Civil Society Support Room (CSSR), a novel approach to including civil society in a peace process that could become a model for other processes to follow. The paper outlines three of the CSSR’s central functions, three key contributions it can make to the peace process, and the three main challenges encountered. It also proposes three measures for the CSSR moving forward:
¿Cuáles han sido las claves de la victoria de Vladimir Putin en las elecciones presidenciales celebradas el pasado 18 de marzo? ¿Puede esto suponer un cambio en el actual sistema político ruso?
Sur le papier, le rituel est fidèlement respecté. La chancelière entame comme il se doit son quatrième mandat par un passage obligé à Paris. Les conditions pour une relance franco-allemande semblent propices.
The collapse of the talks in Crans-Montana caused significant concerns to the Turkish Cypriots that believe in the Federal solution of the Cyprus issue. These segments of the community, which hope that the establishment of a united federal Cyprus will lead to the resolution of all their socio-political and economic problems are searching for a political framework through which they will channel their dissatisfaction and their aspirations. At the same time, the Turkish Cypriot community, being cut off from the international scene, depends solely on Turkey and the Anatolian economy which is currently facing systemic problems. Within this context, the Turkish Cypriots understand that the need for the social, political and economic reconstruction of “TRNC” is urgent.
