Spain’s position in the world in 2013

This paper aims to set out the map, or at least a map, of Spanish foreign policy for 2013. After an introduction that discusses the major cross-cutting challenges of this year, it analyses the three main sections. The first looks at the impact of the economic crisis on the external action that Spain can carry out in 2013. The second addresses security challenges in turbulent times (especially in North Africa and the Middle East). And the third is a geographic review of Spain’s foreign relations.

The pain in Spain: political, social and foreign policy implications of the European economic crisis

This paper analyses the effects of the current economic crisis on the domestic, foreign and transatlantic relations in Spain. It also focuses on the economic and political reforms undertaken in response to the crisis, its impact on the country’s foreign policy agenda and advances a series of policy recommendations to help prevent the crisis from undermining the transatlantic relationship.
