Since the beginning of the Arab Spring, the election of Mohammed Morsi
as President of Egypt and the end of Israel’s Pillar of Defence
military operation in the Gaza Strip, Hamas has steadily been moving
towards a more political stance.

|
|
|
|
Expert Comment 39/2012 - 14/12/2012
|
|
Pablo Bustelo
|
|
On December 12 North Korea succeeded in putting into orbit a satellite (or other object) after the three stages of the Unha-3 rocket separated as planned. Contrary to the previous attempts, the launch was successful, the three-stage rocket functioned correctly and the satellite (or other object) now appears to be now orbiting the earth.

Félix Arteaga
|
|
The entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty and the launch of the
European External Action Service are an opportunity to introduce
reporting and assessment mechanisms to render CSDP (Common Security and
Defence Policy) missions more democratically legitimate and
accountable.

Economic security policies consist in the prevention and avoidance of all situations that can disrupt the life of firms or States. In France, economic security is seen through the prism of ‘economic intelligence’, which aims to encompass all aspects of globalised risks and opportunities.

Bruno Tertrais
|
|
Throughout 2009 it seemed that both nuclear non-proliferation and
disarmament were going to make real, fast and lasting progress.
Unfortunately, reality bit back and 2010 has shown scant progress in
disarmament and not much success in non-proliferation.

The West must find new ways to cooperate with Russia now that Vladimir
Putin and Dmitry Medvedev have used its energy revenues to transform
the country into a resurgent power and developed an assertive policy
towards the West.

|
|
Félix Arteaga
|
|
The energy infrastructures running through Central Asia face endogenous
and exogenous structural risks that could affect supplies if they
materialise and Central Asian countries fail to develop adequate
protection mechanisms, either on their own or with outside help.

Mitchell B. Reiss
|
|
In this review of the implications of North Korea’s behaviour during
2009 on the Non-proliferation Regime, it is stressed that if North
Korea cannot be deterred from its nuclear ambitions this will deliver a
serious blow to the international non-proliferation regime. It will
also damage the likelihood of a successful outcome at next year’s NPT
Review Conference.

When
Israel launched the Gaza war on 27 December 2008, it chose an
opportune moment. Nonetheless, much like the Lebanon war of 2006,
Israel’s strategic gains in ‘Operation Cast Lead’
have dissipated day by day.

Laura Hammond
|
|
The recent dramatic increase in the successes of Somali pirates has
resulted in international calls for tightened security in the Gulf of
Aden. However, the problem cannot be solved through securitised
measures alone and a greater emphasis must be placed on building a
legitimate government inside Somalia to effectively manage the problem.

The presidential election in Lebanon has become the latest battle between two political coalitions competing for the reins of the country’s future. Despite the fact that Lebanese politicians have so far refrained from taking the step that would unleash chaos, the situation could spiral out of control.
