Iran After the deal
The agreement reached in Vienna on 14 July, 2015 between Iran and the P5+1 (United States, Russia, China, France, United Kingdom, Germany) has been greeted as an historical achievement. While offering a long-lasting negotiated solution to one of the biggest crises of the last decade, the deal represents an opportunity for a deep recalibration of the balance of power in the Middle East. It also paves the way to some sort of rapprochement between Iran and the United States. But the deal is also likely to have an impact on Iranian domestic politics, not least on its economy, which, after repeated rounds of sanctions, languishes in deep crisis.
Le nuove crepe della governance mondiale
Il 2015 ha assistito a una nuova proliferazione di crepe materiali e simboliche, drammatizzata dalle nuove minacce terroristiche e simboleggiata, nella stessa Europa, dalla costruzione di muri e barriere ai confini fra uno stato e l’altro. Ma è l’intero ordine internazionale a essere sprofondato in quello che appare sempre di più come un circolo vizioso. Da un lato, il moltiplicarsi delle crepe politiche ed economiche mette ogni volta in luce l’inadeguatezza degli strumenti esistenti di governance. Dall’altro lato, la mancanza o il ritardo delle risposte concertate approfondisce le crepe esistenti e rischia di crearne di nuove, come è già avvenuto di fronte alle crisi dell’ulti...
Sempre più un gioco per grandi. E l'Europa?
Sotto la spinta della retorica più aggressiva della nuova amministrazione degli Stati Uniti, il 2017 ha messo allo scoperto il peso sempre crescente che la tradizionale dinamica tra le grandi potenze sta riacquistando anche nel contesto internazionale del XXI secolo. Contrariamente alle previsioni e alle retoriche più ottimistiche del primo dopoguerra fredda, il “gioco tra grandi” ha riconquistato il centro della scena, spinto in parte dalla crescita e dalla rinnovata assertività di potenziali competitori globali degli Stati Uniti quali la Russia e la Cina, in parte dalla perdurante crisi del tessuto multilaterale della convivenza internazionale e, in parte ancora maggiore, dalla scom...
Putin's Russia: Really Back?
Attempts by Washington and Brussels to push Russia to the fringes of global politics because of the Ukrainian crisis seem to have failed. Thanks to its important role in mediating the Iranian nuclear agreement, and to its unexpected military intervention in Syria, Moscow proved once again to be a key player in international politics. However, Russia's recovered assertiveness may represents a challenge to the uncertain leadership of the West. This report aims to gauging Russia's current role in the light of recent developments on the international stage. The overall Russian foreign policy strategy is examined by taking into account its most important issues: Ukraine and the relationship with the West; the Middle East (intervention in Syria, and ongoing relations with Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia); the development of the Eurasian Economic Union; the Russian pivot towards Asia, and China in particular. The volume also analyzes if and to what extent Moscow can fulfill its ambitions in a context of falling oil prices and international sanctions.
Toppling Qaddafi
Toppling Qaddafi is a carefully researched, highly readable look at the role of the United States and NATO in Libya's war of liberation and its lessons for future military interventions. Based on extensive interviews within the US government, this book recounts the story of how the United States and its European allies went to war against Muammar Qaddafi in 2011, why they won the war, and what the implications for NATO, Europe, and Libya will be. This was a war that few saw coming, and many worried would go badly awry, but in the end the Qaddafi regime fell and a new era in Libya's history dawned. Whether this is the kind of intervention that can be repeated, however, remains an open question - as does Libya's future and that of its neighbors.
A History of Modern Tunisia
Kenneth Perkins's second edition of A History of Modern Tunisia carries the history of this country from 2004 to the present, with particular emphasis on the Tunisian revolution of 2011 - the first critical event of that year's Arab Spring and the inspiration for similar populist movements across the Arab world. After providing an overview of the country in the years preceding the inauguration of a French protectorate in 1881, the book examines the impact of colonialism on the country, with particular attention to the evolution of a nationalist movement that secured the termination of the protectorate in 1956. Its analysis of the first three decades of independence, during which the leaders of the anticolonial struggle consolidated political power, assesses the challenges that they faced and the degree of success they achieved. No other English-language study of Tunisia offers as sweeping a time frame or as comprehensive a history of this nation.
Networks of International Trade and Investment
In recent decades, the international economy has witnessed fundamental changes in the way manufacturing is organised: products are no longer manufactured in their entirety in a single location. Instead, the production process is often split across a number of stages located in countries that are frequently far apart from each other. By spreading out their manufacturing and supply chain activities globally through international investment and intra-firm trade, Multinational enterprises (MNEs) play a focal role in this reorganisation of production. Our ability to understand the global economy, therefore, requires an understanding of the interdependencies between the entities involved in such f...
The Eurasian Economic Union and the European Union
This volume analyzes the evolution of geo-political and economic integration in the Eurasian area. The Eurasian integration is a growing phenomenon and the largest scale analysis proves necessary to avoid simplistic judgments based only on the geo-political approach. The editors of this publication present different profiles of integration, such as the geo-political and constitutional aspect, the relations with the European Union, migration issues, energy flows, the compatibility between the Eurasian and the WTO law, and the comparison with the European integration model. The book presents a wide range of viewpoints through essays of specialists from Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus, Ital...
