So what's it to be in the Middle East in 2025: Mad Max style anarchy or a "Pax Hebraica" orchestrated from Israel? According to regional expert Soli Ozel, the Mad Max scenario is more likely - although, as he notes, many of us oversimplify the contemporary Middle East into false binaries such as the Sunni vs Shiite conflict or Iran vs the Arab world. That said, Ozel warns, the mostly cataclysmic 2024 history of the the region doesn't bode well for 2025. Especially given America's central role in Middle East and its unwillingness to confront the region's central tragedy - the problem of Palestine. Soli Özel is professor of International Relations at Kadir Has University in Istanbul, a fellow at the Robert Bosch Academy, a senior fellow at the Institut Montaigne as a senior fellow and a columnist for the Turkish daily Habertürk.

The episode was recorded on 28 November 2023 in cooperation with Ponto. A new power balance is emerging in the South Caucasus – especially visible after the Second Karabakh War – whereby Turkey and Russia are simultaneously competing and cooperating in the region. Turkey is Azerbaijan's staunchest ally and has assisted it militarily in its war effort. Russia, on the other hand, spearheads the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), in which Armenia is a member. However, Moscow has been ambiguous about its support for Yerevan in the conflict with Baku, refusing to back Yerevan militarily in the Second Karabakh War in 2020 and the subsequent Azerbaijani offensives in 2021-2023. With the exodus of Karabakh Armenians in September after Baku's complete takeover of the territory, Russia's peacekeeping force stationed in the region has been rendered meaningless. But will Russian forces leave the region? Will Turkey normalize its relations with Armenia now that Azerbaijan has all of Nagorno-Karabakh under its control? What kind of involvement might Russia have in the establishment of a route through Armenia to Nakhichevan? What interest does Turkey have in transport connections in the region? In this episode, we discuss these and other motivations for the continued involvement of Turkey and Russia in the South Caucasus.

Die Enteignung durch das bereits 2015 eingeführte, aber wenig bekannte Sanierungs- und Abwicklungsgesetz (SAG) ist ein brisantes Thema für Bankkunden und Sparer in Deutschland.  Jedenfalls jene, die über 100.000 Euro bei Ihrer Bank angelegt oder auf dem Konto deponiert haben. Denn im Falle einer drohenden Bankenpleite können mit dem SAG Gesetz Guthaben von über 100.000 Euro eingezogen und für die Rettung der Bank eingesetzt werden. Was also während der letzten Finanzkrise mit Bankguthaben über 100 000 Euro in Zypern geschah, ist mittlerweile EU-weit eingeführt und gilt für deine Sparkasse, Volksbank und alle anderen EU-Institute.

„Je mehr Mensch in der Gleichung, desto schwieriger die Zukunftsanalyse“, sagt die deutsch-französische Zukunftsberaterin des Europäischen Rats, Dr. Florence Gaub. „Herausforderungen wie der Klimawandel lassen sich im Gegensatz zu inländischen Konflikten viel besser betrachten und vorhersagen“, stellt sie daher im Interview fest. Wir reden darüber, wie sie es schafft, dass PolitikerInnen in längeren Zeitspannen denken und berichtet aus ihrem Arbeitsalltag. Zuletzt hat sie beispielsweise ein Memo zu einer Golfreise vorgestellt, welches die möglichen Klimaentwicklungen bis im Jahr 2030 untersucht. Dr. Florence Gaub erzählt auch von ihrem Werdegang als Frau beim Militär und der Sicherheitspolitik und wie sich die Zeiten gewandelt, so dass auch laut Neuer Zürcher Zeitung die Sicherheitsdebatten zur Ukraine heutzutage nüchtern von Frauen analysiert werden. Als Zukunftsberaterin betrachtet sie im Interview auch die Herausforderungen der Zukunft, wie den Klimawandel, Mobilität, die Veränderung unserer Nahrung oder auch wie wir das Altern neu definieren können. Wir sprechen auch über Idole wie Cindy Crawford, über das Dasein als Pionierin und zu wieviel Prozent wir den Schwankungen unseres Lebens wie eine Nussschale auf hoher See ausgeliefert sind oder unseren Skript selber schreiben. Hintergrund „Es sind vor allem Frauen, die im deutschen Fernsehen den Krieg erklären“ https://www.nzz.ch/feuilleton/es-sind-vor-allem-frauen-die-uns-im-deutschen-fernsehen-den-krieg-erklaeren-und-sie-erklaeren-ihn-gut-ld.1678202 EU Institute of Security Studies, Publikation https://www.iss.europa.eu/author/florence-gaub Gästewünsche, Kommentare: https://www.instagram.com/ich.bin.so.frei/ https://twitter.com/Zoe_vF

In response to the escalating crisis in Ukraine, Germany recently announced several historic policy shifts over the past few days. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz indicated that Germany would deliver weapons to Ukraine, reversing Germany's long-held refusal to deliver weapons to a conflict zone. Furthermore, Scholz announced that Germany would plan to spend more than 2% of GDP on defense spending year on year and would create a €100 billion investment fund for the armed forces. Claudia Major and Daniela Schwarzer join Andrea Kendall-Taylor and Carisa Nietsche to assess this monumental shift in German foreign policy. Dr. Claudia Major is head of the International Security Division at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs in Berlin (SWP). Her research, advisory work and publications focus on security and defense policy in Europe and in a transatlantic context, including NATO, EU, Germany, UK, and France. Previously, Claudia held positions at the Center for Security Studies at ETH Zurich, the German Council on Foreign Relations (Berlin), the EU Institute for Security Studies (Paris), the German Foreign Office (NATO desk) and Sciences Po Paris. Claudia is member in various boards, such as the Advisory Board for Civilian Crisis Prevention at the Federal Foreign Office and the German-British Koenigswinter Conference. Dr. Daniela Schwarzer is executive director for Europe and Eurasia of the Open Society Foundations. Schwarzer is a renowned expert in European affairs and transatlantic and international relations. She is an honorary professor of political science at Freie Universität Berlin and a senior fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center.

Moderator: Dr. Daniel Fiott - Defence Analyst at the EU Institute for Security Studies Panelists: Dr. Jamie Shea - Former Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Emerging Security Challenges at NATO Dr. Jordan Becker - Institute for European Studies at the VUB's Senior Transatlantic Fellow Dr. Andras Szalai - PhD Researcher at the Central European University's Center for European Neighborhood Studies  Col. Darryl A. Rupp - Assigned to NATO Headquarters in the Joint Intelligence and Security Division. **Part of the special edition of the podcast featuring some of the events at this year's BSIS International Conference: “Nationalism & Populism: The Future of Europe?” This conference focused on the possible challenges and scenarios Europe may be faced with regarding issues of Migration, Security and Defense and (social) media.*** In today‘s world, issues of security both at national and international level are of major concern to civil societies and governments. Military missions and defense cooperation between the EU and NATO are growing, giving floor to new debates and questions. Are populism and nationalism undermining international security issues? How can armed forces be protected of potential radical populist influences or are these only of minor concern? This panel will touch upon several of these pressing questions, considering the changes political sentiments bear and may allow for a discussion of populist governments and their (possible) threat to military cooperation.

I have been putting it off, due to its sheer complexity, but in this episode I come face-to-face with the spectre of Brexit. I have tried to find as much clarity as possible and simplify this huge topic into three sections: 1. People and Migration 2. Economics and Trade 3.
