A dieci anni dalle rivolte che infiammarono le piazze di molti paesi del Nord Africa e del Medio Oriente, poco è rimasto delle cosiddette Primavere arabe. Le domande di cambiamento sono state in larga parte disattese e la disillusione ha preso il posto delle speranze suscitate dalla caduta di annosi regimi.

The coronavirus pandemic that has been rocking China since December 2019 is a resilience test for the country’s national economy. To what extent has the pandemic affected China's strategy of international engagement? Which vectors will the China-USA competition adopt in the near future after tariffs and technology?

The coronavirus pandemic that has been rocking China since December 2019 is a resilience test for the country’s national economy. During the first quarter of 2020, China’s GDP fell by 6.8%, one of the worst performances in the contemporary history of the Chinese economy. Nonetheless, the Chinese economy has now picked up, expanding about 2.3% in 2020, the sole country in the world to register any growth. Which are the lessons learnt from the Chinese experience? What to expect next from the country's global stance?
Since the dawn of time, the concept of “city” overlaps some of the most advanced and courageous visions of how the world should be built.

Which measures has China implemented to confront the pandemic-driven national economic slowdown? Which sectors have been hit the most and what are the consequences today? Have previous crises (like SARS in 2003) been an advantage to perfect the country's responses? And which part has technology played in confronting the health crisis and spurring economic recovery?

Da Kamala Harris a Ursula von der Leyen, passando per Janet Yellen e Ngozi Okonjo Iweala: mai così tante donne avevano ricoperto ruoli apicali in politica estera e negli organismi internazionali.

A poco più di un mese dal suo insediamento il presidente Joe Biden ha impresso un cambio di direzione nella politica statunitense in Medio Oriente.

Asia is not only home to enormous flows of trade, but also political and security challenges. Power imbalances at the regional level are particularly visible and risk undermining global stability. In particular, after the crisis, external actors like the U.S. and the EU will be looking for new roles in the region.
