Why Europe Must Engage with Political Islam
This is the fifth in a series of ten papers published jointly by the EU Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) and the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) which aim to address ten critical topics for Euro-Mediterranean relations. The papers have been commissioned with a view to formulating policy options on a set of issues which are central to achieving the objectives set out in the 1995 Barcelona Declaration and the Paris Declaration of 2008, as well as defining new targets for 2020 in the political, economic and social spheres. This fifth paper focuses on the way Europe approaches the issue of Islamic political movements in the Middle East and North Africa. The key message that emerges from the report is that it is time for Europe to engage with political Islam in this region. Both authors of the main chapters in this report-- one from the Arab world and the other from Europe-- eloquently make the argument that there is no prospect of a credible democratic transformation of the Arab world without the full integration of Islamist movements into the political mainstream.
The Agenda for the EU-US Strategic Partnership
"This volume brings together contributions based on reports originally presented at the 2010 EU Washington Forum, where the EUISS sought to define a transatlantic agenda around four major internal and external challenges facing both Europe and the United States. The four main chapters focus specifically on Europe's 'unfinished business' in the Western Balkans and the eastern neighbourhood, the Middle East, transatlantic cooperation on the economy and nuclear non-proliferation"--Back cover of book.
Western Policy Towards Syria
Divided into two main parts, [this paper] begins by presenting the Western policy community with lessons from the trajectory of the Syrian conflict to date -- lessons fundamental to an effective fight against extremism in Syria and, more broadly, to the chances of reaching a settlement. The second part of the paper reviews, in turn, six 'inflection points' in the conflict that inform the policy parameters. These represent key developments that have contributed to the current military-political balance in Syria, and that will need to be taken into account in future policy deliberation. The aim of this section is not only to explore the rationale for -- and provide context and background to -- the authors' proposals for improving Western policy effectiveness in Syria. It also offers a necessarily detailed analysis of the conflict's complexities and dynamics over time, taking into account the evolving composition, alignment, tactics and/or priorities of its principal actors.
Managing Arab Sovereign Wealth in Turbulent Times-- and Beyond
"The custodians of Arab sovereign wealth have found themselves in a precarious situation, having to respond, first, to an external audience when it appeared that their influence in the world of finance had substantially increased; and, later, to a domestic audience when it appeared that they might have overplayed their hands."--T.p.

Summer of Unrest: Revolution Road
Peter Beaumont has been on the ground in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya as the 'Arab Spring' has blossomed. He has witnessed the uprisings in all their messy reality. In this ebook he explains what is going on in the region and explodes the myths that the uprisings can be interpreted as an easily explainable revolution. He draws linkages between the countries ruled over by authoritarian regimes that promise 'reform' which is actually impossible to deliver, the frustration and anger this has caused, and then how this fulminated and eventually exploded, triggering a domino effect across the region. BRAIN SHOTS is the pre-eminent source for high quality, short-form digital non-fiction. The Summer of Unrest series brings together stellar writers to explore the issues surrounding the austerity measures in the UK, uprisings in the Middle East and the nature of the protest movements springing up all over the world.
