The Quad: An emerging multilateral security framework of democracies in the Indo-Pacific region Art der Veröffentlichung Briefing Kalenderdatum 18-03-2021 Verfasser D'AMBROGIO Enrico Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten Schlagwortliste ASEAN | Australien | China | die Vereinigte Staaten | Gemeinsame Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik | Geopolitik | Indien | Japan | Pazifischer Ozean | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region Zusammenfassung The Indo-Pacific region houses the largest share of global GDP, the world's busiest trade routes, largest population and most powerful militaries. After having successfully worked side by side in coordinating the 2004 tsunami relief, in 2007 Australia, India, Japan and the US (the Quad, short for Quadrilateral Security Dialogue) held meetings with each other to discuss security-related issues, and their navies held a military exercise. Although the grouping ended its activities prematurely in 2008, China's growing assertiveness in the region prompted it to remain active in bilateral and trilateral cooperation on security issues. Meetings among senior officials resumed in November 2017 in Manila. In November 2020, the Quad navies held a major military exercise. The first Quad summit took place in March 2021. The grouping has emphasised that its goal is to maintain the liberal rules-based international order, which China seeks to undermine through a revisionist challenge of the status quo. Its efforts are not focused on creating institutions or military alliances, but rather, on generating gradual convergence of cooperation on multiple issues, including Covid-19, climate change, critical and emerging technologies, counterterrorism, cybersecurity and disaster recovery. Establishing further cooperation with other like-minded countries in the region and co-existing with ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) are among the Quad's future challenges. The EU is not a traditional security player in the Indo-Pacific; however, as the region is particularly relevant to its trade, it has a strong interest in avoiding disruption of the sea lanes. The Indo-Pacific could be an area of cooperation with the new US administration. France, Germany and the Netherlands have published strategies or guidelines for the Indo-Pacific region, which has stepped up expectations about the forthcoming strategy for the region by the EU as a whole. Briefing EN China's growing role as a security actor in Africa Art der Veröffentlichung Briefing Kalenderdatum 08-10-2019 Verfasser GRIEGER Gisela Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten Schlagwortliste Afrika | China | Finanzhilfe | Handelsbeziehungen | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Verteidigungspolitik Zusammenfassung China has emerged as an important economic, political but also security actor in Africa as a result of its 'Going out' policy officially launched in 2001, and the massive roll-out of its signature connectivity strategy, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), since 2013. The presence of Chinese citizens and economic assets in Africa has grown substantially due to China's expanding trade with, and China-funded infrastructure projects in, African countries. Many of those countries are plagued by intrastate armed conflicts, jihadist terrorism or maritime piracy off their coasts. The rising number of violent attacks against Chinese workers, calls from the domestic Chinese audience for action, and surging economic loss are some of the factors that have compelled the Chinese government to react. China has shifted from uncompromising non-involvement to selective and incremental engagement in bilateral, regional and international cooperation on peace and security by nuancing, on a case-by-case basis, the narrow boundaries of its normative foreign policy framework, including the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of foreign countries, that had made a previously inward-looking China for decades a free-rider on global security, provided by the US in particular. As in other fields, China has pursued a two-pronged approach to African security issues, to defend its economic and security interests and to expand its influence in Africa. On the one hand, it has contributed to existing multilateral structures and instruments to foster peace and security. It has participated in UN-led peacekeeping missions to Africa and in the UN-mandated counter-piracy action off the Horn of Africa. Both have provided the pretext for China to accelerate its massive blue-water navy build up, to be present in the Indian Ocean and beyond and to set up its first overseas military base, in Djibouti. On the other hand, it has expanded its military presence by engaging African countries bilaterally through joint drills, military training, and military infrastructure-building and multilaterally through the newly created China-Africa fora on security issues. Against this backdrop it remains to be seen how complementary or competitive the future EU-China security cooperation, which so far has remained in its infancy, will be in seeking 'African solutions to African problems'.

EU-Japan cooperation on global and regional security - a litmus test for the EU's role as a global player? Art der Veröffentlichung Eingehende Analyse Kalenderdatum11-06-2018 Verfasser LEGRAND Jérôme Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Sicherheit und Verteidigung Schlagwortliste Außenpolitik | China | die Russische Föderation | Gebietsanspruch | Gemeinsame Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik | Geopolitik | Informationskrieg | Informationssicherheit | internationale Rolle der Union | Japan | militärische Zusammenarbeit | Nichtverbreitung von Kernwaffen | Nordkorea | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Terrorismus | Verteidigungspolitik Zusammenfassung Within their partnership, the EU and Japan recognise each other as being essentially civilian (or ‘soft’) powers that share the same values and act in the international arena solely with diplomatic means. However, the evolution of the threats they face and the unpredictability now shown by their strategic ally, the US, have led both the EU and Japan to reconsider the option of ‘soft power-only’ for ensuring their security. They have both begun the — albeit long —process of seeking greater strategic autonomy. The EU’s Global Strategy adopted in 2016 aims clearly to ‘develop a more politically rounded approach to Asia, seeking to make greater practical contributions to Asian security’. Like the EU, Japan has identified ‘a multipolar age’ in which the rules-based international order that has allowed it to prosper is increasingly threatened. In line with its security-related reforms, Japan has decided to ‘take greater responsibilities and roles than before in order to maintain the existing international order’ and resolve a number of global issues. The EU and Japan may increase their cooperation at the global and strategic level and in tackling these challenges at the regional or local level. The Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) between the EU and Japan will provide opportunities for such cooperation, which should also be open to others. This is an opportunity for the EU to demonstrate that it is a consistent and reliable partner, and a true ‘global player’. The Council Conclusions of 28 May 2018 on ‘Enhanced security cooperation in and with Asia’ are a step in this direction but need to be translated into action. Eingehende Analyse EN A stable Egypt for a stable region: Socio-economic challenges and prospects Art der Veröffentlichung Studie Kalenderdatum 19-01-2018 Externe Autor Adel ABDEL GHAFAR Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Beschäftigung | Energie | Entwicklung und humanitäre Hilfe | Menschenrechte | Sicherheit und Verteidigung | Umwelt Schlagwortliste Anpassung an den Klimawandel | Arbeitsmarkt | Bevölkerungswachstum | Beziehungen der Union | illegale Zuwanderung | Jugendarbeitslosigkeit | Lage der Frauen | politische Grundrechte | politische Lage | Recht auf Bildung | Recht auf Gesundheit | Rechte der Frau | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Strukturanpassung | Terrorismus | Wasserbewirtschaftung | Wasserressourcen | Wirtschaftslage | Ägypten Zusammenfassung Seven years after the 2011 uprising in Egypt, a combination of domestic challenges, together with instability in the Middle East and North Africa region has stalled the country’s ongoing transition. Stability in Egypt is key for the region, and the country’s international partners such as the EU have a clear interest in helping move the country towards stability and prosperity. To that end, this study investigates the main challenges facing Egypt, focusing on social, economic, political and environmental challenges. The study analyses the implications of these challenges for Egypt’s stability in the coming decades. The study then examines the key drivers of EU-Egypt relations and provides a number of policy recommendations on how the EU can support Egypt’s longer-term stability. The study argues that the EU’s economic and security engagement with Egypt should not come at the expense of supporting democracy, human rights and the rule of law. The study also argues that EU programmatic assistance to Egypt should focus on youth, women, education, and entrepreneurship. Finally, the study also argues that the EU’s engagement is likely to be more successful if EU member states are more unified in their approach towards Egypt. Studie EN The United States and the Western Balkans Art der Veröffentlichung Auf einen Blick Kalenderdatum 17-11-2017 Verfasser LILYANOVA Velina Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten Schlagwortliste Außenpolitik | Beihilfepolitik | Bosnien und Herzegowina | die Russische Föderation | die Vereinigte Staaten | Erweiterung einer internationalen Organisation | Geopolitik | Herbeiführung des Friedens | Kosovo | NATO | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Westlicher Balkan Zusammenfassung The United States has contributed greatly to the post-war reconstruction of the Western Balkans and remains a key player. While the region is not as high on the US foreign policy agenda as in the 1990s, the USA has consistently shown commitment to its Euro-Atlantic integration. US engagement is seen as crucial in this historically volatile region, weakened by unresolved past and emerging challenges. Auf einen Blick EN 03-02-2022 Quelle : © Europäische Union, 2022 - EP 2
Facing Russia’s Strategic Challenge: Security Developments from the Baltic to the Black Sea Art der Veröffentlichung Studie Kalenderdatum 17-11-2017 Externe Autor Nicolás De Pedro, Research Fellow, CIDOB, Spain; Panagiota Manoli, Research Fellow, ELIAMEP, Greece; Sergey Sukhankin, Associate Expert, ICPS, Ukraine; Theodoros Tsakiris, Research Fellow, ELIAMEP, Greece Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Sicherheit und Verteidigung Schlagwortliste Außenpolitik | die Russische Föderation | die Ukraine | Energieversorgung | europäische Sicherheit | Gemeinsame Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik | Geopolitik | Kaliningrad-Frage | Krim-Frage | militärische Zusammenarbeit | NATO | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Sicherung der Versorgung | Verteidigungspolitik | Östliche Partnerschaft Zusammenfassung The EU and NATO are facing an increasingly uncertain and complex situation on their eastern and south-eastern borders. In what the EU has traditionally conceived as its ‘shared neighbourhood’ with Russia and NATO its ‘eastern flank’, Moscow is exhibiting a growingly assertive military posture. The context of the Baltic and the Black Sea regions differs, but Russia’s actions in both seem to be part of the same strategy aiming to transform the European security order and its sustaining principles. The Kremlin seems to follow similar policies and tactics, mainly through the militarisation of the Kaliningrad Oblast and Crimea as the centrepiece of its strategy of power projection vis-à-vis NATO and the EU. An all-out war remains an unlikely scenario, but frictions or accidents leading to an unwanted and uncontrolled escalation cannot be completely ruled out. Tensions and military developments take place in both the Baltic and Black seas, but are not only about them. Russia is testing the Euro-Atlantic response and resilience at large. To assess how far it might be willing to go, it is necessary to evaluate how Russia perceives the West and its actions, taking into account the deep and entrenched clash of perceptions between Brussels and Moscow, and the worldview of the latter. Studie EN The African Union: Defending peace, democracy and human rights Art der Veröffentlichung Auf einen Blick Kalenderdatum 16-11-2017 Verfasser ZAMFIR Ionel Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten Schlagwortliste African Court of Justice and Human Rights | Afrika | Afrikanische Charta der Menschenrechte und Rechte der Völker | Afrikanische Union | Demokratie | Governance | institutionelle Struktur | institutionelle Zuständigkeit | Menschenrechte | multinationale Truppe | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region Zusammenfassung The creation of the African Union (AU) in 2002 sparked hopes for the start of a new era in African integration. New institutional mechanisms and norms have been put in place to accomplish the AU’s ambitious objectives in the area of peace, human rights and democratic governance. Despite the promise of these objectives, they have yet to become fully effective and legitimate, as many member states still need to fulfil their commitments and sign the necessary legal instruments. Auf einen Blick EN Northern Ireland PEACE programme Art der Veröffentlichung Kurzdarstellungen zur EU Kalenderdatum 01-11-2017 Verfasser AZEVEDO Filipa | HAASE Diana Politikbereich Raum der Freiheit, der Sicherheit und des Rechts | Regionale Entwicklung Schlagwortliste Aufschlüsselung der EU-Finanzierung | Erhaltung des Friedens | EU-Beihilfe | EU-Programm | Nordirland | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | wirtschaftliche Entwicklung Zusammenfassung The purpose of the EU PEACE programme is to support peace and reconciliation and to promote economic and social progress in Northern Ireland and the Border Region of Ireland.

Sie umfasst bilaterale politische Beziehungen zwischen der EU und den zehn einzelnen Partnerländern sowie die Union für den Mittelmeerraum, die einen Rahmen für die regionale Zusammenarbeit bildet. Im Jahr 2011 baute die EU ihre Unterstützung für einen demokratischen Wandel im Rahmen der ENP als Reaktion auf die Aufstände in ihrer südlichen Nachbarschaft aus, und 2015 wurde die ENP erneut überarbeitet.

Afrika Art der Veröffentlichung Kurzdarstellungen zur EU Kalenderdatum 01-09-2017 Verfasser RAMET Valérie | URBINA TREVIÑO Gonzalo Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Entwicklung und humanitäre Hilfe Schlagwortliste Abkommen AKP-EU | Afrika | Afrikanische Union | dauerhafte Entwicklung | EEF | Erhaltung des Friedens | Handelsbeziehungen | interparlamentarische Beziehungen | Menschenrechte | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | wirtschaftliche Entwicklung Zusammenfassung Die Beziehungen zwischen der EU und Afrika werden durch das Cotonou-Abkommen und die Gemeinsame Strategie Afrika-EU geregelt, die beide politische, ökonomische und entwicklungsrelevante Dimensionen umfassen. Die EU ist aktiv darum bemüht, Frieden und Sicherheit in Afrika zu fördern, und führt verschiedene politische Dialoge mit der Afrikanischen Union (AU), unter anderem zu Themen wie Demokratie und Menschenrechte. Migration ist inzwischen zu einem wesentlichen Bestandteil der Beziehungen zwischen der EU und Afrika geworden. Die Entwicklungszusammenarbeit der EU mit Afrika erfolgt nach wie vor hauptsächlich über den Europäischen Entwicklungsfonds. Kurzdarstellungen zur BG, ES, CS, DA, DE, ET, EL, EN, FR, HR, IT, LV, LT, HU, MT, NL, PL, PT, RO, SK, SL, FI, SV EU Workshop: Sectarianism in the Middle East Art der Veröffentlichung Eingehende Analyse Kalenderdatum 14-07-2017 Externe Autor Dr Toby MATTHIESEN, St Antony's College, Oxford University, Dr Simon MABON, Lancaster University ; Dr Renad MANSOUR, Chatham House, Dr Raphael LEFÈVRE, Oxford University Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Menschenrechte | Sicherheit und Verteidigung Schlagwortliste arabische Welt | Beilegung der Streitigkeiten | Bürgerkrieg | Gemeinsame Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik | Geopolitik | Geschichte der Gegenwart | Glaubenskrieg | Governance | internationale Rolle der Union | Irak | Iran | politische Lage | Rechtsstaat | religiöse Diskriminierung | Saudi-Arabien | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Staatsbildung | Syrien Zusammenfassung Sectarian conflict and polarisation has become a key feature of Middle East politics in the aftermath of the Arab uprisings of 2011. This workshop looked at some of the key drivers of this, such as the troubled legacy of foreign intervention, state failure, regional rivalries between Saudi Arabia, Iran and others, ruling strategies of authoritarian regimes as well as the spread of identity and sect-based political movements. With in-depth analysis of the two key arenas of sectarian conflict in the contemporary Middle East, Syria and Iraq, and a paper on the consequences of state collapse, this publication looks also tries to make recommendations how the EU could help reduce sectarian tensions. Eingehende Analyse EN Qatar: Rising tension in the Gulf Art der Veröffentlichung Auf einen Blick Kalenderdatum 09-06-2017 Verfasser IMMENKAMP Beatrix Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten Schlagwortliste Außenpolitik | diplomatische Beziehungen | Geopolitik | Golf-Kooperationsrat | internationale Sanktion | Islam | Katar | politische Lage | religiöser Fundamentalismus | Saudi-Arabien | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Terrorismus Zusammenfassung On 5 June 2017, several Arab nations, including Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), simultaneously announced that they were severing ties with Qatar, a fellow member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Accusing Qatar of supporting and financing 'terrorism and extremism' in the region, the above countries announced that they would halt all land, air and sea traffic with Qatar, expel its diplomats and ask Qatari citizens to leave their territory within 14 days. Oil prices rose initially as markets responded nervously to the worst crisis to involve the GCC since its creation in 1981, but then dropped again. Any escalation in the crisis would likely lead to more sustained increases in oil and gas prices. Auf einen Blick EN 03-02-2022 Quelle : © Europäische Union, 2022 - EP 4
Energy: a shaping factor for regional stability in the Eastern Mediterranean? Art der Veröffentlichung Studie Kalenderdatum 16-05-2017 Externe Autor Simone TAGLIAPIETRA Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Energie Schlagwortliste ausschließliche Wirtschaftszone | die Türkei | Energiezusammenarbeit | Erdgas-Lagerstätte | Gasfernleitung | Gebietsanspruch | Gewinnung von Erdgas | Industrieinfrastruktur | Investitionsvorhaben | Israel | Jordanien | Libanon | Palästina | Palästina-Frage | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Zypern | Zypern-Frage | Ägypten Zusammenfassung Since 2010 the Eastern Mediterranean region has become a hotspot of international energy discussions due to a series of gas discoveries in the offshore of Israel, Cyprus and Egypt. To exploit this gas potential, a number of export options have progressively been discussed, alongside new regional cooperation scenarios. Hopes have also been expressed about the potential role of new gas discoveries in strengthening not only the regional energy cooperation, but also the overall regional economic and political stability. However, initial expectations largely cooled down over time, particularly due to delays in investment decision in Israel and the downward revision of gas resources in Cyprus. These developments even raised scepticism about the idea of the Eastern Mediterranean becoming a sizeable gas- exporting region. But initial expectations were revived in 2015, after the discovery of the large Zohr gas field in offshore Egypt. Considering its large size, this discovery has reshaped the regional gas outlook, and has also raised new regional cooperation prospects. However, multiple lines of conflict in the region continue to make future Eastern Mediterranean gas activities a major geopolitical issue. This study seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of all these developments, with the ultimate aim of assessing the realistic implications of regional gas discoveries for both Eastern Mediterranean countries and the EU. Studie EN South Korea's presidential election: Potential for a new EU role in the Korean Peninsula Art der Veröffentlichung Briefing Kalenderdatum 08-05-2017 Verfasser D'AMBROGIO Enrico Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten Schlagwortliste Außenpolitik | Beziehungen der Union | Kandidat | Nordkorea | politische Lage | politische Moral | Präsidentschaftswahl | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Südkorea | Unternehmensethik | Wirtschaftslage Zusammenfassung South Korea has been shaken by a succession of corruption scandals involving politicians, judges, senior officials, businessmen and even academics. Impeachment of the country's first female president, the conservative Park Guen- hye, was confirmed by the Constitutional Court, and snap Presidential elections take place on 9 May 2017. Moon Jae- in, a liberal politician and a leading Minjoo (Democratic Party) personality, leads the polls and is the prospective next President of South Korea. Whoever will run the country is expected to launch an era of political and constitutional reform, as well as reducing the power of the chaebol, business conglomerates which enjoy outsize influence and impunity. Moon and the Minjoo are critical of deployment of the US-developed anti-missile shield, Terminal High- Altitude Area Defense (THAAD). A new direction to relations with North Korea is also expected, with a shift from military deterrence to an engagement attitude. This new course could favour stability in the region, paving the way for a new role for the European Union, which could offer its experience in dialogue and integration to engage in a possible future denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula. Briefing EN The future of EU - ASEAN relations Art der Veröffentlichung Studie Kalenderdatum 20-04-2017 Verfasser NUTTIN Xavier Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Demokratie | Demokratie in der EU, institutionelle und parlamentarische Rechte | Globale Ordnungspolitik | Internationaler Handel | Menschenrechte | Sicherheit und Verteidigung Schlagwortliste ASEAN | ASEAN-Staaten | China | Demokratisierung | Gemeinsame Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik | Handelsbeziehungen | interparlamentarische Zusammenarbeit | Kooperationsabkommen (EU) | Menschenrechte | Politik der Zusammenarbeit | regionale Integration | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | wirtschaftliche Integration Zusammenfassung Marking the 40th anniversary of the start of their dialogue ASEAN and the EU have agreed to work towards establishing a strategic partnership. While trade has always been the cornerstone of the relationship - ASEAN is the EU’s third largest trade partner - the EU’s ambition to expand its role as a global actor demand increased engagement. Both sides face common challenges that can only be addressed through joint responses that involve all stakeholders. To be strategic the partnership must embrace all aspects, from trade to energy, from climate change to security issues, from human rights to sustainable development. Deepening and enhancing relations between one of the most dynamic region in the world and the largest and most affluent market will bring important benefits to both European and ASEAN citizens. The last years have seen an increase in contacts but the many challenges faced today by the EU, internally and in its close neighbourhood, risk to require all attention and put the EU-ASEAN relations at risk. Finally the study argues that strengthening the parliamentary dimension of the relationship would, besides supporting representative democracy in Southeast Asia, contribute to maintaining the momentum launched in 2012.

Nuclear Proliferation in North East Asia Art der Veröffentlichung Studie Kalenderdatum 23-03-2017 Externe Autor Benjamin HAUTECOUVERTURE (Fondation pour la Recherche Strategique - FRS, Paris, France) Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Sicherheit und Verteidigung Schlagwortliste Außenpolitik | ballistische Rakete | Beilegung der Streitigkeiten | China | die Vereinigte Staaten | internationale Rolle der Union | internationale Sanktion | Kernwaffe | Kernwaffenversuch | militärische Zusammenarbeit | Nichtverbreitung von Kernwaffen | Nordkorea | Rüstungspolitik | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Südkorea Zusammenfassung The nuclear dimension of the crisis in the Korean peninsula has been compounded since the end of the Cold war, particularly since the North Korean regime announced its withdrawal from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in January 2003. The nuclear and ballistic programmes of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) have dangerously improved since the beginning of the decade and seem to have accelerated since 2014 in spite of the continuous strengthening of the international sanctions regime against Pyongyang’s Weapons of Mass Destruction programmes. Accordingly, tensions have risen dramatically in the Korean peninsula. In the current context, the resumption of the six- party talks – deadlocked since the spring of 2007 - remains very hypothetical. It is clearly dependent on a change of attitude on Pyongyang’s part, something hardly predictable. Even if ‘strategic patience’ towards North Korea has been challenged for some time, it may be that there is no better alternative to this policy. Comprehensively conceived, it should be understood as a strong policy of containment of the North Korean nuclear crisis in order to make possible the return of Pyongyang to negotiations. As a subsidiary issue, it could be asked whether the EU could play a renewed role as regards to nuclear and ballistic proliferation in North East Asia. Studie EN Challenges to Freedom of the Seas and Maritime Rivalry in Asia Art der Veröffentlichung Eingehende Analyse Kalenderdatum 14-03-2017 Externe Autor Patrick HÉBRARD (Fondation pour la recherche stratégique - FRS, Paris, France) Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Internationaler Handel | Sicherheit und Verteidigung Schlagwortliste ASEAN | Australien | Außenpolitik | Beziehungen der Union | China | die Vereinigte Staaten | Gebietsanspruch | Geopolitik | Japan | Konvention UNO | Schifffahrtspolitik | Seerecht | Seeschifffahrt | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Südasien | Verteidigungspolitik | wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit Zusammenfassung China’s New Maritime Silk Road policy poses geostrategic challenges and offers some opportunities for the US and its allies in Asia-Pacific. To offset China’s westward focus, the US seeks to create a global alliance strategy with the aim to maintain a balance of power in Eurasia, to avoid a strong Russia-China or China-EU partnership fostered on economic cooperation. For the EU, the ‘One Belt, One Road’ (OBOR) initiative by improving infrastructure may contribute to economic development in neighbouring countries and in Africa but present also risks in terms of unfair economic competition and increased Chinese domination. Furthermore, China’s behaviour in the South China Sea and rebuff of the ruling of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, in July 2016, put the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) at risk with possible consequences to freedom of the seas. Increasing relations with China could also affect EU-US relations at a time of China-US tension. To face these challenges, a stronger EU, taking more responsibility in Defence and Security, including inside NATO, is needed. Eingehende Analyse EN State of Play of EU-Mauritania Relations Art der VeröffentlichungEingehende Analyse Kalenderdatum 23-02-2017 Externe Autor Morten Bøås PolitikbereichAuswärtige Angelegenheiten | Demokratie | Finanz- und Bankenangelegenheiten | Fischerei | Gleichstellungsfragen, Gleichheit und Vielfalt | Globale Ordnungspolitik | Internationaler Handel | Menschenrechte | Sicherheit und Verteidigung | Wirtschaft und Währung Schlagwortliste Anpassung an den Klimawandel | Demokratisierung | EEF | Entwicklungspolitik | ethnische Gruppe | Fischereiabkommen | Flüchtling | islamischer Staat | Mali | Mauretanien | Menschenrechte | politische Lage | Protokoll zu einem Abkommen | Sahel | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Sklaverei | Staatschef | Terrorismus | Wanderung | Wirtschaftslage | Übereinkommen von Cotonou Zusammenfassung Mauritania, an important ally of the EU in the fight against terrorism in the Sahel, faces several inter-related development challenges: ensuring an efficient use of the revenue derived from natural resources, economic diversification and improved governance. The severity of these development challenges is increased by difficult political relations between the three main ethnic groups in the country, the dominant group being the Arab-Berber Bidhan. They constitute less than one-third of the country’s population, but dominate economically and politically. The Haratin, the largest group in the country, is made up of descendants of black Africans enslaved by the Bidhan (freed or still enslaved). The third group in the country is the West Africans or Black Mauritanians. Mauritania’s post- independence history is marked by repeated attempts by this group to assert its non-Arab identity and claim for a more equitable share of political and economic power. The tension that these divisions create is a problem in itself, but they can also be appropriated by violent Islamist insurgencies in the region. The urgency of this challenge is further complicated by the likelihood of increased climate change effects that the country is currently not adequately prepared for. This study therefore discusses the main political, economic and development challenges that contemporary Mauritania is faced with, illustrating how these challenges can only be properly grasped with consideration to their historical evolution. Based on this, the study investigates the current basis for EU-Mauritania relations and suggests a select number of policy areas for consideration, as this relationship continues to evolve around issues of mutual concern such as security and development.

Counter-terrorism Cooperation with the Southern Neighbourhood Art der Veröffentlichung Eingehende Analyse Kalenderdatum02-02-2017 Externe Autor Florence GAUB, Annelies PAUWELS Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Menschenrechte | Sicherheit und Verteidigung Schlagwortliste Europäische Nachbarschaftspolitik | Geldwäsche | Grenzkontrolle | Justizreform | Libyen | Menschenrechte | Mittelmeeranrainerstaaten ohne EG-Staaten | Rechtsstaat | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Terrorismus | zivile Mission der EU Zusammenfassung Since the EU adopted its Counter-Terrorism Strategy in 2005, it has focused on forging closer ties with third countries in the fight against terrorism. Cooperation with the Southern Neighbourhood in this field is particularly important. Every single country within this region is affected by terrorism to different degrees and terrorist attacks on European soil are increasingly linked with the Middle East and North Africa. The EU adopted a wide-ranging counter-terrorism approach in the South including actions that go beyond the strictly military and security interpretations of counter-terrorism. In line with the UN’s 4-pillar approach, the EU’s counter- terrorism measures can be broadly subdivided into four fields: (i) building state capacity (particularly in the areas of border control, criminal investigation and prosecution, and countering the financing of terrorism); (ii) strengthening the rule of law and respect for human rights; (iii) fostering regional cooperation; and (iv) preventing and combating terrorism. This study outlines and contextualises current counter-terrorism activities in the region. Eingehende Analyse EN Die Europäische Nachbarschaftspolitik Art der Veröffentlichung Eingehende Analyse Kalenderdatum20-12-2016 Verfasser PERCHOC Philippe Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten Schlagwortliste Europäische Nachbarschaftspolitik | europäische Sicherheit | Finanzinstrument der EU | Gemeinsame Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik | Geopolitik | Grenzkrieg | GUS-Staaten | institutionelle Reform | Mittelmeeranrainerstaaten ohne EG- Staaten | politische Lage | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | System zur Finanzierung der EU | Union für den Mittelmeerraum Zusammenfassung Mit der Europäischen Nachbarschaftspolitik wurde ab 2004 ein allgemeiner Rahmen für die Beziehungen der EU zu den geografisch am nächsten gelegenen 16 Nachbarstaaten geschaffen. Dieser Rahmen bietet eine verstärkte Zusammenarbeit und einen Zugang zum europäischen Markt über bilaterale Aktionspläne, mit denen mittelfristig Assoziierungsabkommen erreicht werden sollen. Er wird durch drei regionale Komponenten ergänzt: die Union für den Mittelmeerraum, die Schwarzmeerstrategie und die Östliche Partnerschaft. Zur Union für den Mittelmeerraum und der Östlichen Partnerschaft gehören ein multilateraler Rahmen in Form gemeinsamer Institutionen (Versammlung Europa- Mittelmeer, Euronest, regelmäßige Gipfeltreffen). Aufgrund der umfassenden geopolitischen Umbrüche, die durch den Arabischen Frühling im südlichen Mittelmeerraum ab 2011 und durch den Ukrainekonflikt seit 2014 ausgelöst wurden, muss die Europäische Union ihre Nachbarschaftspolitik einer gründlichen Überprüfung unterziehen. Der Erfolg dieser Reform und ihrer Umsetzung hat grundlegende Bedeutung für die Behauptung der EU als internationaler Akteur. Aus diesem Grund veröffentlichten die Kommission und der Europäische Auswärtige Dienst im November 2015 eine Mitteilung zur Reform der Europäischen Nachbarschaftspolitik.

EU strategy in the Horn of Africa Art der Veröffentlichung Auf einen Blick Kalenderdatum 07-12-2016 Verfasser PICHON Eric Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Entwicklung und humanitäre Hilfe | Sicherheit und Verteidigung Schlagwortliste Externe Zuständigkeit (EU) | Gewalt | Horn von Afrika | Krisenmanagement | Naturkatastrophe | offene Koordinierungsmethode | regionale Zusammenarbeit | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region Zusammenfassung The Horn of Africa countries are plagued by violence and insecurity. A hub on the Red Sea trade and migration route, bordering the unstable areas of the Sahel and central Africa, the region is of strategic interest for the European Union. The EU has adopted an integrated framework to align various external policy programmes and instruments aimed at securing the region. However, strong antagonisms between the states concerned add to the difficulty of achieving a coordinated approach. Auf einen Blick EN Republic of Korea: Impact of the Leadership Crisis and Security Threats on the Economy Art der Veröffentlichung Eingehende Analyse Kalenderdatum25-11-2016 Verfasser SAARELA Anna Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Internationaler Handel Schlagwortliste Außenpolitik | China | die Vereinigte Staaten | Einkammersystem | Handelsabkommen (EU) | Handelsbeziehungen | Handelspolitik | Investition | Japan | Kernenergiepolitik | Kooperationsabkommen (EU) | Korruption | Menschenrechte | militärische Zusammenarbeit | Nordkorea | OECD | politische Lage | politische Parteien | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Staatschef | Südkorea | UNO | Welthandelsorganisation | Wirtschaftslage Zusammenfassung After decades of authoritarian military rule, South Korea — an East Asian nation on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula — has opened up politically. The current president, Park Guen-hye, faces a range of domestic problems. Recently, a corruption scandal triggered widespread protests and caused her approval ratings to plummet. The US continues to be an important ally in both economic and political terms, particularly in light of deteriorating relations with North Korea, whose nuclear programme has accelerated in 2016. Economically, South Korea, one of the world’s most rapidly aging societies, faces major challenges despite its strong growth and export record. Measures are needed to tackle low employment among women and young people and to support the elderly as well as to promote social inclusion. The large proportion of irregular workers on the labour market accounts for the big wage gap and high relative poverty rate. Economic restructuring in China, South Korea’s biggest trading partner, also has a spill-over effect. In July 2016, trade between the EU and South Korea was fully liberalised, apart from certain agricultural products, under the ambitious ‘second generation’ free trade agreement (FTA) signed in 2011. The FTA has benefited both sides. It does not contain an investment chapter and could be revised to incorporate one. However, public concerns in both South Korea and the EU would first have to be addressed. Eingehende Analyse EN The Conflict in Yemen: Latest Developments Art der Veröffentlichung Eingehende Analyse Kalenderdatum24-10-2016 Verfasser JONGBERG Kirsten Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Entwicklung und humanitäre Hilfe | Sicherheit und Verteidigung Schlagwortliste Ausfuhrbeschränkung | Beilegung der Streitigkeiten | Bürgerkrieg | Gemeinsame Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik | Glaubenskrieg | humanitäre Hilfe | internationale Rolle der Union | Iran | Jemen | Saudi-Arabien | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Waffenhandel Zusammenfassung The Yemen conflict has deteriorated since 2015 despite repeated rounds of peace negotiations. The most recent round of UN-led Talks ended in August 2016 with no agreement. The conflict is in danger of escalating beyond Yemen’s borders with frequent Houthi incursions into Saudi Arabia, foreign ships being targeted by missiles from Houthi-controlled areas near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait – a major international trade route – and Saudi Arabia and Iran siding with opposite sides in the conflict. The latest 72-hour cease-fire starting 20 October was not renewed when it ended on 22 October. The cease-fire did, however, allow humanitarian aid agencies to step in to start to provide assistance to some of the 21.2 million people across the country who are in need of humanitarian aid. UN OCHA has estimated it needs USD 1.63 billion for its Yemen humanitarian response plan, but it has only received pledges for 47 % of that amount so far. The EU has recently announced a further EUR 40 million for the fund, taking the total EU pledge to EUR 120 million. The European Parliament has called for an EU arms embargo on Saudi Arabia, which is responsible for the majority of the destruction of civilian infrastructure.

India and China: Too Close for Comfort? Art der VeröffentlichungEingehende Analyse Kalenderdatum 15-07-2016 VerfasserDATTA SHALENE | LEGRAND Jérôme | MENDONCA Susana | VANDEWALLE Laurence | VIILUP Elina PolitikbereichAuswärtige Angelegenheiten | Demokratie | Entwicklung und humanitäre Hilfe | Globale Ordnungspolitik | Internationaler Handel | Menschenrechte | Sicherheit und Verteidigung | Umwelt Schlagwortliste Außenpolitik | Beziehungen der Union | China | Geopolitik | Geschichte der Gegenwart | grenzüberschreitende Zusammenarbeit | Handelspolitik | Indien | militärische Zusammenarbeit | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Transportinfrastruktur | Verteidigungspolitik | Wasserbewirtschaftung | Wirtschaftslage Zusammenfassung India and China — two emerging Asian giants — have historically been polar opposites in many ways and relations between them have been tense. In recent years, however, their co-operation has been improving and they have signed numerous bilateral agreements. From the EU’s perspective, it is crucial to monitor the relationship between these strategic partners. Not only do these two emerging countries have the two largest populations in the world, but projections suggest that they will together account for a significant share of the world economy by the middle of the century. The EU must be able to meet the regional and even global challenges presented by the rise of China and India. Eingehende Analyse EN Prioritäten der EU für die 71.

Die Europäische Union hat sich dem Multilateralismus verschrieben und setzt sich intensiv dafür ein, ihre Zusammenarbeit mit den Vereinten Nationen zu vertiefen. In der Juli-Plenartagung wird das Europäische Parlament den Bericht des Ausschusses für auswärtige Angelegenheiten diskutieren, in dem Vorschläge für eine Empfehlung des Parlaments an den Rat zu den Prioritäten der EU für die 71. Generalversammlung der Vereinten Nationen vorgelegt werden, die von 13. bis 26. September 2016 in New York stattfinden wird.

To both address areas of disagreement and complaints, as well as pursue common interests and matters of mutual benefit, the EU needs to put in place an institutional framework that can withstand the various setbacks that have, to date, derailed all previous efforts of political dialogue. There are a number of areas where both actors can benefit from cooperation; trade, environmental and sustainability issues, education, and combatting drug trade. Even when pursuing more contentious issues such as human rights, having a strategic and fully-fledged multilevel relationship will be helpful. There are also a number of political crisis in the region (ISIS, migration) where reaching a solution without Iranian involvement will either be unnecessarily costly or near impossible.

Nagorno-Karabakh: Unstable frozen conflict Art der Veröffentlichung Briefing Kalenderdatum 21-06-2016 Verfasser PERCHOC Philippe Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten Schlagwortliste Armenien | Aserbaidschan | Außenpolitik | Beilegung der Streitigkeiten | die Russische Föderation | Europäische Nachbarschaftspolitik | Geopolitik | internationale Frage | internationale Rolle der Union | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Unabhängigkeitskrieg Zusammenfassung For more than 20 years, this frozen conflict has opposed Azerbaijan on the one side and the self-proclaimed Nagorno- Karabakh authorities and Armenia on the other side. The Nagorno-Karabakh enclave in Azerbaijan, mainly populated by Armenians, declared its independence in September 1991. The non-recognition by Azerbaijan of this proclamation prompted a full-scale military conflict resulting in the de facto autonomy of Nagorno-Karabakh and the occupation of seven Azerbaijani districts after the 1994 ceasefire. The conflict has remained highly unstable since then because it is part of a complex regional 'game' between Turkey and Russia. The OSCE Minsk Group, co-chaired by France, the United States and Russia, remains the main forum in which to settle the conflict. Nevertheless, it has failed up to now to find a global peace agreement. Periodically, the situation on the ground becomes alarming, as it did in April 2016 when the conflict restarted, with dozens of people killed on both sides. Since 1994, the EU is mainly implicated in the process through the participation of France in the Minsk Group. The EU's offers of association agreements to both Armenia and Azerbaijan have not made any progress so far. The EU's leverage in the conflict has therefore been limited.

The Syrian refugee crisis has diverted attention away from the causes of the unrest in 2011, but has given rise to new grievances that have the potential to undermine the stability of the country once more.

Although joining NATO has long been a strategic priority for the Montenegrin government, the issue is far from uncontroversial. Low public support in the country and the threat of Russian counter-measures remain major challenges to be addressed.

Defence spending envisaged in the DWP is to increase by approximately 80% over the next ten years, with a quarter of investments going to maritime and anti- submarine warfare. Australia has also launched its largest-ever defence procurement programme, with French firm DCNS selected as its international partner for the AU$50 billion (€34.3 billion) future submarine programme.

The Frozen Conflicts of the EU's Eastern Neighbourhood and Their Impact on the Respect of Human Rights Art der Veröffentlichung Studie Kalenderdatum 08-04-2016 Externe AutorAndras RACZ (Finnish Institute of International Affairs, Finland) Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Demokratie | Menschenrechte | Raum der Freiheit, der Sicherheit und des Rechts | Sicherheit und Verteidigung Schlagwortliste Aserbaidschan | Autonomiebewegung | Beilegung der Streitigkeiten | besetztes Gebiet | die Russische Föderation | die Ukraine | ethnische Gruppe | Europarat | Europäische Nachbarschaftspolitik | Gebietsanspruch | Georgien | internationale Rolle der Union | Menschenrechte | Moldau | OSZE | politische Gewalt | Rechtsberuf | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Zivilgesellschaft | Zugang zur Rechtspflege Zusammenfassung The present study provides a detailed overview of the actual human rights situation in the frozen conflict regions of EU’s Eastern neighbourhood, namely in Crimea, Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Nagorno-Karabakh. The focus of the analysis is on the access to the justice system, as well as on the abilities of the de jure or de facto authorities to administer justice. Particular attention is paid to Crimea because the rapidly worsening human rights situation there affects far more people than the population of the other four frozen conflicts combined. International community actions, as well as the role of civil society in protecting human rights are also analysed. Studie EN Review of the EU Strategy for Central Asia Art der Veröffentlichung Auf einen Blick Kalenderdatum 05-04-2016 Verfasser KOCAK Konur Alp Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten Schlagwortliste dauerhafte Entwicklung | Demokratisierung | Diversifizierung der Energieversorgung | Energieversorgung | Energiezusammenarbeit | Europäische Nachbarschaftspolitik | Menschenrechte | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Sicherung der Versorgung | Zentralasien Zusammenfassung In June 2007, the EU adopted an EU Strategy for a New Partnership with Central Asia ('EU Strategy for Central Asia'), in recognition of the region's increasing importance for the Union's security, stability, governance and energy diversification. The strategy provides a framework for EU relations with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The European Parliament is due to discuss the implementation and review of the strategy during the April plenary session. Auf einen Blick EN The African Union: Defending peace, democracy and human rights Art der Veröffentlichung Auf einen Blick Kalenderdatum 04-04-2016 Verfasser ZAMFIR Ionel Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Menschenrechte Schlagwortliste Afrika | Afrikanische Charta der Menschenrechte und Rechte der Völker | Afrikanische Union | Demokratie | Erhaltung des Friedens | institutionelle Struktur | Menschenrechte | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region Zusammenfassung The creation of the African Union (AU) in 2002 sparked hopes for the start of a new era in African integration. New institutional mechanisms and norms have been put in place to accomplish the AU’s ambitious objectives in the area of peace, human rights and democratic governance. Despite the promise of these objectives, they have yet to become fully effective and legitimate, as many member states still need to fulfil their commitments and sign the necessary legal instruments. This is an updated version of a note from March 2015, 'Political cooperation within the African Union'. See also our notes on the AU's economic aspects and on its mechanisms against UCG. Auf einen Blick EN Low oil prices and the fight against ISIL/Da’esh Art der Veröffentlichung Auf einen Blick Kalenderdatum 09-03-2016 Verfasser DIETRICH Christian | PAWLAK Patryk Politikbereich Auswärtige Angelegenheiten | Sicherheit und Verteidigung Schlagwortliste Algerien | Energiebedarf | Finanzierungsart | Golfstaaten | Libyen | Rohstoffmarkt | Rohstoffpreis | Rohöl | Sicherheit einer geografischen Region | Staatshaushalt | Syrien | Terrorismus | unerlaubter Handel | Verteidigungsausgaben | wirtschaftliche Auswirkung Zusammenfassung The price of oil has fallen significantly since June 2014, from a peak of US$115 per barrel (bl) then to US$26 per barrel in January 2016, although it has somewhat recovered recently. This can partly be explained by weaker demand, robust supply growth and the expanding coverage of mandatory energy effciency provisions worldwide. These changes come at a time of major turmoil in parts of the Middle East. Iraq – with the world’s fifth largest oil reserves – is engaged in the fight against ISIL/Da’esh which controls some of Iraq’s oil fields. Syria – with a national budget largely dependent on oil revenues – is torn apart by civil war. Iran, on the other hand, is returning to international oil markets as a result of the gradual removal of sanctions against it, in line with the agreement on its nuclear programme.
