The hegemonic role of Ethiopia has been strengthened by its intervention in Somalia, as well as by the Eritrean situation. The ‘economic miracle’ experienced by Ethiopia is also helping to consolidate its role in the region. The division of Sudan into two states is expected to change the regional dynamics as well.

This analysis seeks to outline the role of pro-government youth organisations in Russia in supporting the Kremlin’s policy agenda in relation to the modernization process. Particularly, it shows the shift in the movements’ main role from bulwark against coloured revolutions to championing the incumbents’ plan of “conservative modernisation”: this expression was coined by Dmitrii Trenin to indicate the leaders’ priority of reforming the country without losing traditional values and political stability.

The Horn of Africa is considered as one of the least stable regions of the continent. The Analysis takes into consideration the local, regional and international causes of conflict in this area at the present time. In particular, the role of the US (after the 11th of September 2001), China, Russia and India is thoroughly analysed. The paper suggests that regional factors play the more relevant part in the dynamics of instability in the Horn of Africa and therefore they should be addressed in order to reduce conflicts in the area.

The European Council meeting of 24/25 March 2011 delivered parts of a “comprehensive package” for the reform of European economic governance.In the last twelve months, the reform of economic governance moved forward at an impressive speed. But last Friday’s summit by far did not solve the most pressing issues ahead. The EU, and especially the Eurozone, will have to continue tackling tricky questions some of which concern the political nature of the Eurozone. Two examples illustrate this.
