Challenges for the development-security nexus in EU foreign policy

17 November 2020

Key EU documents recognise the importance of the link between these two main domains of EU external affairs. This is part of a wider framework of the so-called triple nexus between humanitarian aid, development and security, which the European Commission aims to enhance to better respond to protracted crises.

“Pray in Your Homes”: Religion and the State in North Africa in Times of COVID-19

24 July 2020

COVID-19 has led governments across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) to take a number of measures to battle the pandemic.

27 May 2020

COVID-19 triggered a collapse in oil prices from approximately 60 to 20 dollars per barrel between January and April 2020. Signs of a rebound are visible but prices remain well below the breakeven for many producers. If prices stay this low for long, or if they fall again after a partial rally in a relapse scenario, the world may witness a crisis within the crisis, with even further adverse effects on the world economy.
