ARI 58/2008 (Translated from Spanish) - 8/7/2008

The fifth edition of the LAC-EU Summit did not manage to escape the
contradictions present at the previous meetings, although this time the
Latin American and Caribbean Presidents clearly articulated their
desire to receive a European response to the increasing heterogeneity
in Latin America within a framework of fundamental asymmetry in the
bi-regional relationship.

The Riddle of Energy Security (ARI)
|
|
|
|
ARI 67/2008 - 4/7/2008
|
|
Paul Isbell
|
|
The issue of energy security has traditionally been confused and
confusing terrain. The concept itself is so multi-faceted and complex
that intuitive approaches typically turn out to be incomplete, if not
simply wrong-headed. A counterintuitive reading on energy issues is
more often than not the most accurate, or at least the most revealing.

After the ‘No’ vote in the referendum held in
Ireland on 12 June, and in view of the unanimity requirement for treaty
ratification among member countries, the entry into force of the Lisbon
Treaty faces a setback. A new period of uncertainty has commenced in
the process of European integration.

Political Economy of African Mineral Revenue Deployment: Angola, Botswana, Nigeria and Zambia Compared (WP)
|

WP 28/2008 - 16/6/2008
|

Recent research identifies weak institutions as a leading cause of the under-performance of developing economies. But in low-income
economies institutions reflect political incentives rather than mould
them, so this paper analyses how political incentives are shaped by
commodity revenue. It focuses on commodity rent flows as the critical
link between the economy and politics and uses case studies to track
them (whereas statistical studies treat rent as a black box).
