Hi-Tech e start-up: verso un Iran 4.0

Tra le priorità strategiche delineate dall’Iran nel Piano di sviluppo 2005-2025 (20 Year National Vision) lo sviluppo di un’economia della conoscenza ricopre un ruolo di primo piano. L’obiettivo per la Repubblica islamica è diventare il primo paese della regione dell’Asia sud-occidentale (che comprende oltre al Medio Oriente anche Asia centrale e Caucaso) per lo sviluppo economico, scientifico e tecnologico.

Post-Vote Iran: Giving Engagement a Chance

2017 is a crucial year for Iran. In January, while the "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action" (JCPOA) entered the second year of implementation, in Washington the Trump Administration took office, with the promise to “renegotiate a disastrous deal”. In May, in Tehran, the incumbent president Hassan Rouhani won re-election by a wide margin.

Protecting Religious Communities: What role for Youth?

Despite a proliferation of policies and multilateral initiatives, a growing number of communities and individuals around the world have been persecuted or seriously discriminated against because of their religion in the last few years. How can new political and diplomatic efforts counter this trend? Can intercultural dialogue and engagement with religious actors, civil societies and youth provide tools to move forward?

Foreign Actors in Libya’s Crisis

Since 2011 the Libyan crisis has moved from being a domestic dispute to assuming increasing importance at the international level. Today it represents a crucial issue affecting global security. The intervention of external actors in the Libyan crisis was mainly driven by a desire to direct the transition towards outcomes that would best meet their own political and economic interests.
Accordingly, each external player tried to support one specific faction, favoring either the Parliament in Tobruk, upheld by Khalifa Haftar, or the Presidential Council headed by Fayez al-Serraj in Tripoli, the latter being legitimized by the UN as well as by local militias in both Misrata and Tripoli.
This report analyzes the troublesome re-building of Libya with a focus on the specific role played by international actors (neighboring and Gulf countries, European nations, Russia and the US) which make it more of an international rather than a domestic issue.

Chaos in Libya: A Background

After the fall of Muammar Qaddafi in 2011, many different actors – political and military; Islamist and not; tribal, local, domestic, foreign and transnational – are competing with one another for power and hegemony in Libya. What are the main forces at play today, and what are they trying to achieve? To tackle this issue and have a better understanding of the situation, we offer a brief guide to the major domestic players “on the ground”.

After Mosul, Re-inventing Iraq

After 8 months of heavy fighting, it seems that Mosul is next to be liberated. However, this would not mark the complete defeat of IS in Iraq, nor would it signal the end of the crises affecting the country.

What will be the fate of the city and the other liberated territories? Could a victory over a common enemy re-ignite competition among Iraq’s various ethno-sectarian communities? And could this prompt further demands for autonomy by the Kurds, who played a central role in fighting IS? What are the interests and agendas of the main regional and international players for the future of the country?

To put all these questions into perspective, ISPI has just published the Report “After Mosul: Re-inventing Iraq,” edited by Andrea Plebani. The volume sketches out possible answers through a multi-pronged approach, bringing to light the complexity of the Iraqi scenario and the influence exerted by a broad array of actors.

Italian companies and Iranian market

Lo scorso 1 luglio si è tenuto a Milano il convegno dal titolo “Italian companies and Iranian market”, promosso da Assolombarda Confindustria Milano Monza e Brianza in collaborazione con ISPI e Confindustria Assafrica & Mediterraneo.

L’obiettivo è stato fare il punto sulle prospettive del mercato iraniano a circa sei mesi dall’abolizione delle sanzioni dell’Unione europea e individuare le opportunità di business per le imprese italiane.

Trova di seguito il programma dell’evento, che si è svolto presso l’Auditorium Gio Ponti di Assolombarda (Via Pantano 9, Milano).

Fear Thy Neighbor. Radicalization and Jihadist Attacks in the West

Over the last three years Europe and North America have been hit by an unprecedented wave of terrorist attacks perpetrated by individuals motivated by jihadist ideology. Who are the individuals who have carried out these attacks? Were they born and raised in the West? Or were they an “imported threat”, refugees and migrants? How did they radicalize? Were they well educated and integrated, or social outcasts? Did they act alone? What were their connections to the Islamic State?

The answers to these and other questions have large implications for our understanding of the threat facing us and, consequently, help us design sounder policy solutions built on empirical evidence. This study, the first of its kind, seeks to analyze the demographic profile, radicalization trajectories and connections to the Islamic State of all the individuals who have carried out attacks.
