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.

With the great increases in insecurity in Afghanistan and the
overwhelming sense that the counter-insurgency in Afghanistan is not
being won, analysts and policymakers are looking for analogies to
understand the conflict’s dynamics and devise counter-measures. One of
the analogies that analysts are turning to is the counter-narcotics and
counter-insurgency campaign in Colombia.

National Security Strategies: The Italian Case (WP)
|
|

WP 39/2009 - 20/10/2009

Federica Di Camillo and Lucia Marta
|
Italy does not have a National Security Strategy (NSS) in the strict sense of the word, ie, a single governmental document for the medium-to-long term identifying the main security threats and response guidelines at a strategic level. Instead, it has several documents on the institutional responsibilities for the external (military) and internal (civil) dimensions of security.

Spain and the G-20: A Strategic Proposal for Enhancing its Role in Global Governance
|
|
|
|
8/4/2009

|
Elcano Royal Institute
|
This paper explores the role Spain can and should play in the
institutions engaged in global governance in the current context of
financial crisis and reconfiguration of international power centres.
After briefly analysing Spain’s relative position in the world
–on the basis of economic and other criteria– the study
suggests the path it should follow to boost its influence in the
world. The paper points out Spain’s comparative advantages, the
areas where it could contribute most, and the shortcomings that make
it difficult to translate Spain’s economic weight into greater
political influence at the global level.

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.
