Welcome to this edition of our newsletter! We are thrilled to highlight the Policy Center for the New South's contributions to Think20 Brasil, offering key policy recommendations to the G20. Our latest paper explores Africa’s potential permanent membership in the UN Security Council, a critical step toward fairer global representation. We also delve into minilateralism as a practical approach for addressing regional challenges, proposing a "3+3" forum to strengthen Euro-African cooperation. Additionally, we tackle pressing issues like the debt crisis and innovative financing solutions to support Africa’s economic and climate goals.

Reconciling New Industrial Policy and International Cooperation for Global Goods
Neo-protectionism is reshaping the global economy, prompting us to reconsider how New Industrial Policies can balance efficiency in global supply chains with national security concerns. Are these policies a necessary step or a gateway to harmful protectionism? Can the G20 step in to ensure fair competition, promote green technology, and prevent subsidy abuse? What steps will truly safeguard both national interests and global development?... Read more

Has the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea achieved equitable access for developing countries?
Forty years after its introduction, the promise of the Common Heritage of Mankind under Part XI of the Convention remains unfulfilled. Compromises delayed action for over a decade, and the vision of shared seabed riches is still out of reach. Should we hit pause on deep-seabed mining to protect these resources for future generations? Is it time for a moratorium until sustainable exploitation becomes a reality?... Read more

| L’Afrique mérite un siège permanent au Conseil de sécurité

حديث الثلاثاء - اليمين المتطرف: أيديولوجية عابرة أم تحول سياسي دائم ؟
في السنوات الأخيرة، شهدت الساحة السياسية الأوروبية والعالمية تصاعدًا ملحوظًا في نفوذ ما يُسمى بـ "اليمين المتطرف"، مما أدى إلى بروز أسئلة ملحة حول طبيعة هذا التيار وأسبابه وتداعياته. هل نحن أمام أيديولوجية راسخة أم مجرد رد فعل عابر تجاه التغيرات الاقتصادية والاجتماعية؟ وما مدى ارتباط هذه الحركات باليمين التقليدي؟ أم أنها تمثل ظاهرة منفصلة تمامًا؟ بالإضافة إلى ذلك، يُثار التساؤل حول ما إذا كانت هذه الظاهرة محصورة في أوروبا أم تمتد لتشمل مناطق أخرى من العالم... شاهد
