Clingendael Institute: Politics of COVID-19 in the Sahel | The spies that came in from the Cold War

The politics of COVID-19 in the Sahel

ALERT COVID-19 is not the only crisis, and probably not the biggest crisis in the Sahel. As previous pandemics have shown worldwide, policies often prove to be far more influenced by politics, ideology and ignorance rather than evidence and best practices.

EGMONT Institute: Use Connectivity to Strengthen Multilateral Cooperation in the EU’s Neighbourhood

  Use Connectivity to Strengthen Multilateral Cooperation in the EU’s Neighbourhood By  Sven Biscop   (15 September 2020)   In   Commentaries Asia-Pacific ,   EU and strategic partners ,   EU strategy and foreign policy ,   European defence / NATO To strengthen multilateralism in their own neighbourhood, Germany and the EU should pursue connectivity strategies with their Eastern and Southern neighbours.
