SUMMARY:EU Foreign Policy in the Face of External and Internal Order Contestations
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe thrust of EU foreign policy has traditionally been based on the export of norms\, rules\, and standards of democratic governance. However\, at the international level\, in its immediate neighbourhood\, and within its own borders\, the EU finds itself increasingly confronted to actors contesting the legitimacy of these principles and\, more generally\, of the rules around which political systems are organised. This has been true\, in various ways and to differing degrees\, of China’s challenging – and Donald Trump’s undermining – the international liberal order\, of Russia’s violation of Ukraine’s political sovereignty\, and of European populist governments’ encroaching on the Rule of Law. How has EU foreign policy been impacted by\, and has reacted to\, these dynamics? \nThe discussion will build and reflect on the findings of Work Package 5 of the EU-LISTCO project\, which has been co-led by CIDOB and Sciences Po-CERI\, and on its latest policy paper (David Cadier and Christian Lequesne\, How Populism Impacts EU Foreign Policy\, EU-LISCTO Policy Paper 8\, November 2020). \n \nSpeakers\n● Tanja A. Börzel\, Freie Universität Berlin (FUB) \n● David Cadier\, Sciences Po-CERI \n● Stephanie Hofmann\, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID) \n● Pol Morillas\, Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB) \n \nChair\n● Christian Lequesne\, Sciences Po-CERI \n  \nFor more information visit the original event webpage on sciencepo.fr.

SUMMARY:How the EU Should Deal With Disorder at its Borders
DESCRIPTION:Over the last three years\, the European Union has faced fallout from areas of limited statehood and contested order just beyond its borders. Recent events in Belarus and Lebanon are two examples of how governance breakdowns abroad can threaten the EU’s security. \nSince 2018\, the Horizon2020 EU-LISTCO project has investigated such challenges\, making recommendations on how the EU can better foster resilience in its neighbourhood. As the project comes to an end\, you are cordially invited to a special discussion about EU-LISTCO’s findings. \nThe event will kick off with a fireside chat between Judy Dempsey and Linas Linkevičius\, former foreign minister of Lithuania and a key voice in shaping the EU’s policy toward Belarus. \nJudy Dempsey and Linas Linkevičius will then be joined by Riccardo Alcaro and Tanja A. Börzel for a broader discussion on the challenges in the EU’s eastern and southern neighborhoods and the opportunities that a reenergized transatlantic relationship may bring about in the region. \n  \nTo submit a question for the event\, please use the YouTube chat\, email malte.peters@ceip.org\, or tweet at us @eulistco. \n  \nPanelists\n● Riccardo Alcaro is research coordinator and head of the Global Actors Program at the Italian Institute of International Relations. \n● Tanja A. Börzel is a professor and the director of the Center for European Integration at the Free University of Berlin. \n● Linas Linkevičius is a former Lithuanian minister of foreign affairs (2012–2020) and defense (2000–2004 and 1993–1996). \n  \nModerated by\n● Judy Dempsey is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Europe Foundation in Brussels and the editor in chief of Strategic Europe.

SUMMARY:Improving Governance After the Pandemic: The Role of the Transatlantic Relationship
DESCRIPTION:The coronavirus pandemic has exposed flawed governance practices across the world. This is true for countries with high corruption and weak or no democratic structures as well as for consolidated democracies on both sides of the Atlantic\, where governments have been criticised for lacking transparency and accountability. \nTo build more inclusive governance at home and abroad\, the EU and the United States must cooperate strategically to strengthen state institutions in Europe’s neighbourhood\, while addressing their own democratic shortcomings. \nJoin Cornelius Adebahr\, Rachel Kleinfeld\, and Agnieszka Legucka for a discussion about the prospects of renewed transatlantic cooperation after the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Judy Dempsey will moderate. \n  \nTo submit a question for the event\, please use the YouTube chat\, email malte.peters@ceip.org\, or tweet at us @eulistco. \n  \nPanelists\n● Cornelius Adebahr is a fellow at the Carnegie Europe Foundation in Brussels. \n● Rachel Kleinfeld is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington\, D.C. \n● Agnieszka Legucka is a senior research fellow at the Polish Institute of International Affairs in Warsaw. \n  \nModerated by\n● Judy Dempsey is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Europe Foundation in Brussels and the editor in chief of Strategic Europe.

SUMMARY:EU-LISTCO Regional Forum South
DESCRIPTION:  \nWhat are the elements needed to strengthen societal resilience to internal and external challenges in Europe’s South? \nTo answer this and other questions\, the Carnegie Europe Foundation convened the EU-LISTCO Regional Forum South. Hosted over two days\, the Forum brought together European and local analysts and policymakers to share the latest insights and recommendations from EU-LISTCO’s research. \n\nDay 1: Virtual Public EventSocietal Resilience in Europe’s Southern NeighbourhoodWednesday\, October 21\, 2020\, 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.\n\nDay 2: Virtual Private RoundtableQuo Vadis\, Lebanon?Thursday\, October 22\, 2020\, 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.\n\nInterview: Is Peace in Libya Attainable?As part of the Regional Forum South\, Carnegie Europe Foundation’s senior fellow Judy Dempsey sat down virtually with Tarek Mitri\, the former UN special envoy to Libya and director of the Issam Fares Institute on Public Policy and International Affairs at the American University of Beirut.\n\n  \nWatch the Interview here: \n \n  \n\n\nDay 1: Societal Resilience in Europe’s Southern Neighbourhood\n\n\n\n\n \nEurope’s Southern neighbourhood is in turmoil. Libya is engulfed in civil war\, Egypt faces growing anti-government protests\, and Lebanon is mired in a deep\, multifaceted crisis. The war in Syria nears its endgame with the Assad regime still in power\, and the normalisation of ties between Israel and some Gulf states – while historic – is unlikely to advance Israeli-Palestinian peace. \nThe region’s societal struggles\, historic animosities\, and religious confrontations—not to mention the coronavirus pandemic and the uncertain prospects facing youths—could threaten Europe’s security. The Carnegie Europe Foundation will host a discussion on the elements needed to strengthen societal resilience in the Southern neighbourhood. \n  \n\n\nPanelists \n\nMark Daou is a political\, social\, and environmental activist in Beirut.\nPol Morillas is the director of the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB) in Barcelona.\nSaime Özçürümez is an associate professor at Bilkent University in Ankara.\nMaha Yahya is the director of the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut.\n\n  \nModerated by \n\nJudy Dempsey is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Europe Foundation in Brussels and the editor in chief of Strategic Europe.\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay 2: Quo Vadis\, Lebanon?\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe huge explosion in Beirut’s port on August 4 has aggravated the already dire situation in Lebanon. The government is still in crisis. The economy is in shatters. There is the threat of more violence. Add to these woes\, the breakdown of Beirut’s trash collection system and the poor response to the coronavirus crisis have shown how Lebanon’s societal resilience is ill-equipped to deal with current and future challenges. \nWith few clear solutions in sight\, the Carnegie Europe Foundation will host a private roundtable to discuss what steps are needed to unite the country and protect its people\, while also reflecting on how the European Union – and its member states – can support the rebuilding of a functioning state in Lebanon. \n  \nPanelists \n\nGeorges Fahmi is a research fellow with the Middle East Directions Programme at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies of the European University Institute in Florence.\nTamirace Fakhoury is an associate professor at the Lebanese American University in Beirut.\nEduard Soler i Lecha is a senior research fellow at the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB) in Barcelona.\n\n  \nModerated by \n\nRym Momtaz is the France foreign policy correspondent for POLITICO in Paris.

SUMMARY:EU-LISTCO Regional Forum East
DESCRIPTION:Amid prolonged tensions in Ukraine\, civil unrest in Belarus\, and rising infection rates across the region\, what are the elements needed to build strong and accountable institutions in Europe’s east? And how can the European Union play a role in supporting a shift towards a human-centric approach to security? \nTo answer these and other questions\, the Carnegie Europe Foundation convened the EU-LISTCO Regional Forum East. Hosted over two days\, the Forum brought together European and local analysts and policymakers to share the latest insights and recommendations from EU-LISTCO’s research. \nIn the margins of the Forum\, the Carnegie Europe Foundation also released a short interview with Matti Maasikas\, Ambassador and Head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine. \n  \n\nDay 1: Virtual Public EventHuman Security in Europe’s Eastern NeighbourhoodTuesday\, September 22\, 2020\, 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.\n\nDay 2: Virtual Private RoundtableIs Donbas Lost?Wednesday\, September 23\, 2020\, 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.\n\nInterview: What Holds Ukraine’s Future?As part of the Regional Forum East\, Carnegie Europe Foundation’s senior fellow Judy Dempsey sat down virtually with Ambassador and Head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine Matti Maasikas.\n\n  \nWatch the Interview here: \n \n  \n\n\nDay 1: Human Security in Europe’s Eastern Neighbourhood\n\n\n\n\n \nThe coronavirus pandemic has revived demands for a human-centric approach to security. In Europe’s eastern neighbourhood\, this means strengthening healthcare systems and building more resilient societies while managing existing threats such as geopolitical rivalries\, conflicts in areas of limited statehood\, and cyber and hybrid warfare. \nAmid prolonged tensions in Ukraine\, civil unrest in Belarus\, and rising infection rates across the region\, the Carnegie Europe Foundation hosted a public discussion to take stock of the elements needed to build strong and accountable institutions in Europe’s east. \n  \n\n\nPanelists \n\nKornely Kakachia\, director\, Georgian Institute of Politics\, Tbilisi\nArtyom Shraibman\, journalist and political commentator; contributor to Carnegie.ru\, Moscow\nKateryna Zarembo\, associate fellow\, New Europe Center\, Kyiv\n\n  \nModerated by \n\nJudy Dempsey is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Europe Foundation in Brussels and the editor in chief of Strategic Europe.\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay 2: Is Donbas Lost?\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the outbreak of war between Ukrainian government forces and pro-Russian separatists in 2014\, the Donbas region became another area of limited statehood and contested order within Europe’s eastern neighbourhood. Six years later\, with regular attacks on the frontline\, a death toll of over 13\,000\, and over one million people internally displaced\, any breakthrough in ending this conflict in Ukraine’s east remains elusive. \nPresident Volodymyr Zelenskiy has made headway on campaign promises to end the conflict and bring peace to eastern Ukraine. But with few steps being taken to reintegrate the self-declared people’s republics of Donetsk and Luhansk (DNR/LNR) back into Ukraine\, and Russia showing no signs of withdrawing from the region\, what can break the deadlock? \n  \nPanelists \n\nSokol Bega\, head of Regional Issues\, Permanent Mission of Albania to International Organizations\, Vienna\nAgnieszka Legucka\, senior research fellow\, Polish Institute of International Affairs\, Warsaw\nLeonid Litra\, senior research fellow\, New Europe Center\, Kyiv\nGwendolyn Sasse\, director\, Centre for East European and International Studies (ZOiS)\, Berlin\n\n  \nModerated by \n\nThomas de Waal\, senior fellow\, Carnegie Europe Foundation\, Brussels

SUMMARY:EU-LISTCO Policy Design Workshops | Preventing Governance Breakdown and Violent Conflict
DESCRIPTION:Causes of governance breakdown and violent conflict are multi-faceted and not always obvious. To combine in-depth knowledge about the EU’s neighborhood with practical policy experience\, EU-LISTCO partners Foresight Intelligence and GPPi invited regional experts and policy makers from European foreign services to pilot a new method for developing strategic policy options. \nOver the course of 2019\, EU-LISTCO project partners organised three workshops: \n\nGovernance Breakdown and Violent Conflict in the Middle East: From Early Warning to Strategic Policy Options\, Sunday\, March 24\, 2019 – Tuesday\, 26 March 2019\nDeveloping European strategic policy options for mid-term contingencies in Tunisia\, Sunday\, November 17\, 2019 – Tuesday\, November 19\, 2019\nDeveloping European strategic policy options towards Ukraine\, Belarus and Moldova\, Wednesday\, December 4\, 2019 – Friday\, December 6\, 2019\n\nIn each workshop\, a group of experts created robust options for the EU’s engagement with its neighborhood based on scenarios about potential violent conflict and governance breakdown. These scenarios were drafted in another set of EU-LISTCO workshops. \nThe first strategic policy options workshop in March 2019 was focused on the Middle East. In November 2019\, a group of experts approached policy approaches for the European Union’s engagement with Tunisia. A workshop on developing strategic policy options on Belarus\, Ukraine and Moldova was hosted by Sciences Po in Paris in early December 2019. \nDuring the three sessions\, the experts discussed ways to prevent or mitigate risks related to violent conflict and governance breakdown and threats to Europe’s security. This included fostering regional cohesion and security cooperation in Tunisia\, improving relations between Iran\, the US and Saudi Arabia\, and curbing the influence of powerful oligarchs in Ukraine\, Belarus and Moldova. The workshops helped refine EU-LISTCO’s policy development methodology\, which can provide policy makers with tools to produce more robust and strategic foreign policy options. \nThe last workshop of this series will take place in June 2020 and focus on developing policy options for diffuse\, technology-related risks such as deep fakes.

SUMMARY:Public Panel Discussion | What’s in it for us? The EU and Georgia’s Membership Perspective
DESCRIPTION:On December 3\, 2019\, EU-LISTCO project partner Freie Universität Berlin organised a public panel discussion entitled\, “What’s in it for us? The EU and Georgia’s Membership Perspective\,” in collaboration with the Georgia Embassy in Berlin and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. The event took place at the Georgian Embassy and the panel addressed a diverse audience of over seventy attendees\, including representatives of the German Bundestag\, national embassies\, political foundations\, non-governmental organisations\, and academia. \nElguja Khokrishvili\, ambassador of the Republic of Georgia to Germany\, and Thomas Schrapel\, director of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation South Caucasus\, kicked off the event with welcome remarks\, which was then followed by a panel debate with Vakhtan Makharoblishvili\, first deputy minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Georgia; Tanja Börzel\, professor at the Freie Universität Berlin; Davit Aprasidze\, professor of political science at Ilia State University; and Viktoria Palm\, project manager at the Institute for European Politics. Thomas Risse\, professor at the Freie Universität Berlin\, moderated the discussion. \nPanellists discussed the transformative power of the EU in Georgia—but also the limits thereof—with a focus on what’s been achieved so far and what the future holds for EU-Georgian relations. The event title purposely included the mention of “us” to allow panellists to analyse different interpretations from the perspective of the EU\, Georgia\, and Europeans more broadly. The discussion zoomed in on how the EU can foster resilience in Georgia as an external actor\, and how the key is to create a tailored approach to local circumstances. Georgia’s lack of EU membership brings disadvantages to the relationship on both sides\, and without any perspective future membership\, the EU runs the risk of damaging relations with Georgia and potentially producing instability within its own neighbourhood. Despite Georgia retaining a high level of EU support\, scepticism for the union is growing. Panellists underscored that closer attention should be paid to Eurosceptic voices. \nOverall\, the outlook on Georgia’s future relationship with the EU was optimistic on all sides\, and the event concluded with an engaging Q&A session with the audience. Discussions continued into the event reception\, which was supplied with Georgian delicacies. The EU-LISTCO consortium and the Freie Universität Berlin would like to thank the Georgian Embassy in Berlin and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation for a fruitful collaboration and a great event.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture and Workshop | Donbas Five Years After the Minsk Agreements
DESCRIPTION:On November 22\, the Polish Institute of International Affairs (PISM) hosted a public debate and workshop in the framework of the Horizon 2020 EU-LISTCO project. The event presented Donbas as a case of limited statehood in Europe’s eastern neighbourhood\, and the panel debate featured remarks by Hanna Shelest\, Foreign Policy Council Ukrainian Prism; Oleg Ignatov\, Centre for Current Policy; Marek Menkiszak\, Centre for Eastern Studies; and András Rácz\, German Council on Foreign Relations. Discussions focused on how the war in Ukraine will impact European security\, as well as the state of the implementation of the Minsk Agreements\, the role of the Normandy Format talks in the peace process\, and the potential influence that the Steinmeier Formula will have on the situation in Ukraine. \nDuring the debate\, a difference of opinion emerged on how to reach an agreement between Ukraine and Russia. Oleg Ignatov pointed to Russia’s rigid negotiating position\, arguing that the Russian authorities expect Ukraine to first introduce a “special status” for Donbas and hold local elections on territories currently outside the control of the government in Kyiv. In turn\, Hanna Shelest emphasized the priority of withdrawing Russian soldiers from Donbas and ensuring that the region meets the appropriate security conditions for holding elections. \nThe speakers agreed that the Normandy Format talks\, which took place in December 2019\, would not bring any breakthrough in the negotiations. In these circumstances\, Racz and Menkiszak suggested employing a strategy of “small steps\,” which entails gaining gradual concessions from both Russia and Ukraine that ultimately leads to conflict de-escalation. \nAfter the debate\, PISM organized a closed workshop with experts from EU member states\, Ukraine\, and Russia. The discussion focused on “quasi-states” and areas of limited statehood and contested order in the EU’s eastern neighborhood\, including internal workings\, the role of external actors\, and the prospects of settling ongoing conflicts. \nA highlights video is featured below\, but to watch the full panel debate\, please click here. \n

SUMMARY:Public Lecture and Workshop | Hybrid Governance and Limited Statehood in the MENA Region
DESCRIPTION:On October 10 and 11\, 2019\, the European University Institute (EUI) hosted a two-day event in the framework of the Horizon 2020 EU-LISTCO project. \nThe first day was dedicated to the keynote lecture given by Prof. Khalil Shikaki on What does the fifth wave of the Arab Barometer tell us about social and political changes in the MENA?\, focusing on major trends concerning the future of Islamism\, demand for democracy\, and interest in emigration in the region and among the youth in particular. The fifth wave of the Arab Barometer is online here. \nThe second day consisted of a workshop on Hybrid Governance and Limited Statehood in the MENA Region. Drawing on the fresh empirical research of the EU-LISTCO project\, this workshop aimed to take stock of how areas of limited statehood (ALS) and contested order (CO) have affected forms of governance in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The Arab uprisings in 2011 gave a voice to local actors\, but their hopes have not become reality. In some countries\, protests sparked violent conflicts that drew in regional and international actors\, while remaining unsolved. In others\, regimes reasserted their grip on power\, coercing or co-opting local actors. \nThe workshop considered how local\, national\, and international actors interacted in forms of hybrid governance to address a political\, social\, and economic landscape that remains deeply unsettled more than eight years after protests first shook the region. It has addressed the issue of limited statehood in the Arab world and the extent to which governance—defined as the provision of collectively binding rules and of common goods—has been provided by actors other than the state\, both at the international and at the local level. The event provided an opportunity to reflect on the interdependence and importance of local and international actors in providing governance in ALS in the MENA region\, while situating the region’s experiences in comparative terms. \nThe list of speakers and various panels is available here. \nOn the sidelines of the workshop\, three experts have briefly spoken to the camera in order to clarify what the most advanced debate on potential threats to the EU is revolving around. Dr Patrycja Sasnal (Polish Institute of International Affairs) focused on the differences between Radicalism and extremism; whereas Dr Saime Ozçürümez (Bilking University) clarified that migration per se is not a threat to the statehood in the European countries\, and illustrated the main aspects of the EU-Turkey deal; finally\, Prof Steven Heydemann (Smith College and EUI) introduced the notion of ‘fierce’ States in comparison to that of ‘weak’ or ‘fragile’ States.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture and Roundtable | How to Foster Societal Resilience in the Eastern Partnership Countries
DESCRIPTION:On October 1\, 2019\, the Georgian Institute of Politics (GIP) hosted a public lecture and roundtable discussion in the framework of the Horizon 2020 EU-LISTCO project to dissect the risks coming from contestations of the liberal international order\, and to discuss ways to foster societal resilience in the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries. The event took place at the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University. \nThe event kicked off with the public lecture\, “Contestations of the Liberal International Order from Within – The US and Europe Compared\,” hosted by Prof. Tanja Börzel & Prof. Thomas Risse. Prof. Dr. Tanja A. Börzel is professor of political science and holds the Chair for European Integration at the Otto-Suhr-Institute for Political Science\, Freie Universität Berlin. Prof. Dr. Thomas Risse is director of the Center for Transnational Relations\, Foreign and Security Policy at the Otto-Suhr- Institute of Political Science at the Freie Universität Berlin. \nIn their public lecture\, Prof. Börzel and Prof. Risse dissected the main challenges of limited statehood and contested order\, and discussed the importance of strengthening resilience in the EaP countries and maintaining trust in the EU institutions. “An attitude that “one size fits all” has failed and the EU needs a new institutional design for EaP\,” – stated Prof. Börzel. \nThe following discussion focused on how the EU can best support the three frontline EaP states on the rocky road to building resilient societies in a fragmented and politically volatile region. The roundtable discussion “Between Limited Statehood and Contested Orders: How to Foster Societal Resilience in the EaP Countries” featured EU-LISTCO partners Dr. Agnieszka Legucka (Polish Institute of International Affairs)\, Maksym Bugriy (Ukrainian Institute of Public Policy)\, and Prof. Kornely Kakachia (Director\, GIP). In addition\, the panel included H.E. Hubert Knirsch (Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Georgia) and H.E. Giedrius Puodžiūnas (Ambassador of the Republic of Lithuania to Georgia)\, who remarked on the policies on the ground and the instruments that the EU countries bring to strengthen Georgia’s democracy and resilience. The discussion was moderated by Dr. Stefan Meister (Director\, South Caucasus Office\, Böll Foundation). \nThe EU-LISTCO is a research consortium that consists of fourteen partner organizations and is financed by European Union’s Horizon 2020 framework. The project explores the challenges of areas of Limited Statehood and Contested Orders in Europe’s Eastern and Southern neighbourhoods. GIP and IDC Herzliya co-lead work package three\, which analyzes the impact of global and diffuse risks in EU’s neighborhood regions.

SUMMARY:Public Event | Foreign Policy in Europe’s Borderlands
DESCRIPTION:Europe is in flux. The union is racing toward European Parliament elections\, and public debates are increasingly dominated by inward-leaning discussions over Europe’s future\, not to mention Brexit. \nThe risk is that EU foreign policy will take a back seat\, just when it is all the more necessary. From Ukraine to Algeria and from Armenia to the Western Balkans\, new political players who want to initiate change are emerging across Europe’s Eastern and Southern neighborhoods. Any paralysis on EU foreign policy regarding the union’s borderlands would be strategically and geopolitically shortsighted. \nIn the framework of the Horizon 2020 EU-LISTCO project\, the Carnegie Europe Foundation hosted a public discussion to take stock of the current political dynamics in Europe’s neighborhoods and consider what foreign policy challenges the EU faces over the next five years. \nThis event featured remarks by Heather Grabbe\, director of the Open Society European Policy Institute; Pol Morillas\, director of the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB); and Thomas Risse\, professor of International Relations at the Freie Universität Berlin. Judy Dempsey\, nonresident senior fellow at Carnegie Europe and editor-in-chief of the Strategic Europe blog\, moderated. \nListen to the audio recording of the event below: \nhttp://box2535.temp.domains/~ovkmmmmy/.website_f2a8d4fa/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2019-05-15-LISTCO.mp3

SUMMARY:Anticipating Governance Breakdown and Violent Conflict | EU-LISTCO Risk Scanning Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Europe’s neighbourhood is full of recent events that foreign policy experts and practitioners did not expect or even thought possible until they happened. ISIL’s sudden conquest of territory in Iraq and Syria and the protests that swept Algeria\, Libya and Sudan are just a few examples. In hindsight\, observers tend to think they saw these events coming. But often\, that is just what their minds would like to make them believe to make sense of the world.  \nForesight can help to mitigate cognitive and social biases. Foresight Intelligence and GPPi have teamed up to conduct a series of scenario-based foresight workshops to help regional experts and policy makers identify potential risks\, security threats and tipping points for governance breakdown and violent conflicts that are often missed. The methodology complements EU-LISTCO’s quantitative early warning tool and qualitative research. \n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                \n                \n                \n                \n                \n                \n                \n                \n            \n        \n        \n    \n \nThe series kicked off with a workshop on the Middle East in Jerusalem in June 2018\, hosted by IDC Herzliya and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. A session on Europe’s Eastern Neighbourhood was hosted by GPPi near Berlin in November 2018\, followed by a workshop on North Africa at the Istituto Affari Internazionali in Rome in February 2019. \nDuring all three sessions\, experts discussed scenarios of governance breakdown or violent conflicts in Europe’s neighbourhood for the next three to five years up to 2025\, including a potential military confrontation between Iran and Saudi Arabia; a new wave of colour revolutions in post-Soviet countries; and the possibility of an authoritarian resurgence in Tunisia. \nIn a second set of workshops on strategic policy design\, officials from European foreign services\, policy experts and EU-LISTCO researchers will use these scenarios as a basis for developing targeted policy responses.

SUMMARY:Workshop | Identification of Areas of Limited Statehood and Contested Orders in the EU's Surroundings
DESCRIPTION:On 28 February 2019\, the Polish Institute of International Affairs (PISM) organized a workshop on identification of areas of limited statehood (ALS) and contested orders (CO) in the South and East of the European Union in Warsaw. The event was organized in the framework of the EU-LISTCO project. \nThe meeting served as an opportunity to further coordinate activities among EU-LISTCO partners and discuss methodological approaches to achieve the project’s research goals. Participants joined three working groups: 1) “Radicalism and Revisionism in Europe’s East and South” on local social structures and factors linked to globalization; 2) “Migrations in the East and South” on the different dimensions of migrations; 3) “Political economy in the East and South” on monopolisation of economic positions by the elites as a common feature in Europe’s neighbourhoods. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Roundtable | Why aren't more Islamists taking up arms in Tunisia and Egypt?
DESCRIPTION:Most research on violent radicalisation often focuses on why people take up arms\, and very little has focused on why individuals choose not to engage in political violence. \nIn Egypt\, after the ouster of Mohammed Morsi in July 2013\, many voices warned that non-violent Islamists would shift their tactics to include the use of violence. However\, only a minority within the Brotherhood and its supporters have decided to do so. In Tunisia as well\, many researchers warned the Tunisian government that declaring Ansar al-Sharia as a terrorist organisation in August 2013 would lead its supporters to take up arms. However\, again in the case of Tunisia\, only a minority within Ansar al-Sharia did take up arms. \nAlthough most policy attention focuses on the causes of radicalisation\, the case of Egyptian and Tunisian Islamists raises an equally important question: why has only a small minority turned to violence? In answering this question\, this roundtable seeks to contribute to the larger debate on the sources of resilience to violent radicalisation in the Middle East\, and how to understand the intersection between ideational and material factors in preventing Islamist youth from following a violent path. \n  \nSpeakers \nGeorges Fahmi\, Research Fellow\, MEDirections\nFederica Bicchi\, Team Leader for EU-LISTCO\, Global Governance Programme

SUMMARY:Beyond Smuggling: Tunisia’s on-the-ground responses and perspectives to EU’s counter-smuggling practices
DESCRIPTION:On September 2018\, a group of Tunisian fishermen were charged by Italian authorities with migrant smuggling after towing a boat carrying migrants to the Italian island of Lampedusa. Public pressure in both Europe and Tunisia claiming the fishermen were not smugglers but rather providers of humanitarian assistance led Italian courts to drop the charges later that month. \nDespite the visibility of migrant rescues in the European migration landscape\, there is scant empirical research on how the people involved in them (and more specifically those accused with smuggling) conceptualize their experiences. Much less is known about the perspectives of the people from Europe’s southern neighbourhood who engage not merely on smuggling\, but who in the context of their everyday activities encounter migrants in transit. This is of particular importance in the context of Tunisia\, which despite having implemented migration controls in line with EU’s demands has yet to enact legislation criminalizing migration-related activities (e.g.\, smuggling of migrants and human trafficking). \nHow do Tunisian people conceptualize mobility and smuggling\, given the very lack of legislation criminalizing the practice in that country? How does that clash with European perspectives concerning the facilitation of irregular migration? How does the case of the Tunisian fishermen challenge or counter European understandings of smuggling? \nThis presentation\, relying on the legal case against the Tunisian fishermen\, introduces some preliminary ideas concerning these questions\, which will be explored in the context of the EU-LISTCO project on areas of limited statehood and contested orders. \n  \nSpeakers\nGabriella Sanchez\, research fellow\, Migration Policy Centre of the European University Institut\nFederica Bicchi\, Team Leader for EU-LISTCO\, Global Governance Programme

SUMMARY:Roundtable | Areas of Limited Statehood\, Contested Orders\, and the Future of EU Security
DESCRIPTION:The European Union’s neighbourhood is increasingly characterised by two main sources of risks: (1) Areas of limited statehood\, where central government authorities are too weak to ensure a monopoly over the means of violence and enforce the rule of law and (2) contested orders\, where state\, non-state and transnational actors and networks challenge the norms\, principles\, and rules that societies and political systems are based on. These risks can amount to severe threats for the EU\, if they deteriorate into governance breakdown and violent conflict. \n  \nSpeakers\nProfessor Dr. Thomas Risse\, Professor of International Relations\, director of the Center for Transnational Relations\, Foreign and Security Policy \nProfessor Dr. Amichai Magen\, Richard von Weizsäcker Fellow\, Robert Bosch Academy\, Director of the Diplomacy & Conflict Management Program\, Lauder School of Government\, Diplomacy\, and Strategy\, IDC (Herzliya) \nDr. Johannes Gabriel\, Managing Director\, Foresight Intelligence\, Non-resident fellow\, Global Public Policy Institute\, Berlin \nThe event was organised jointly by the Robert Bosch Academy and the EU-LISTCO Project (Europe’s External Action and the Dual Challenges of Limited Statehood and Contested Orders).

SUMMARY:Ring of Friends or Ring of Fire? Instability and Autocracy in the EU’s Neighbourhood
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the European Commission’s representation in Germany\, the event addressed the current challenges of contested orders and limited statehood in the EU’s immediate neighbourhood and the EU’s preparedness to deal with them. \nAUDIO OF THE EVENT\n \nThe discussion started with the following question to the panellists: Which are the three most pertinent challenges the EU and its member states are facing at the moment in their neighbourhood? \nEkkehard Brose commented that these challenges are (1) the new power centres (Iran\, Turkey\, Russia\, China) in the EU’s surroundings\, (2) the fragility of many states in the MENA region accompanied with increased violence and growing flows of migration\, and (3) the decreasing trust in established elites in Europe and a weakening support for the liberal post-war order. Hervé Delphin considered the most pressing challenges to be (1) the deteriorating development in the MENA region in terms of human development index which inevitably leads to informal economies and migration\, (2) the increasing tension between Russia and the United States\, and (3) conflicts in the Middle East involving Iran\, Israel\, and Saudi Arabia. \n© Offenblende \nWolfgang Ischinger named hybrid threats and crises in the Middle East\, such as the conflict in Syria\, the primary challenges for Europe\,  but also noted that two internal affairs are impeding the EU’s responsiveness to foreign policy challenges: the low visibility of the EU’s foreign policy activities to its citizens and the use of veto power in the Council. Natalie Tocci remarked that the hollowing out of the state in the Eastern\, but mostly the Southern neighbourhood – breakdowns into violent conflict\, problems associated with changing demography\, the dependence of the rental state on oil – is the largest challenge in the EU’s surrounding\, as are contested orders and proxy wars in the region. Finally\, the EU itself and the growing fascination with the ‘strong man’ has become a problem for the EU’s foreign policy capacity. \nWith audience involvement\, the panellists discussed how well the EU and the member states are prepared to face these challenges. The panellists agreed that the EU is part of the answer to these challenges. In particular\, Nathalie Tocci commented that the EU member states need to internalise that their individual powers are rather limited\, and the EU institutions need to be recognised as the more promising avenue to solving conflicts in the EU’s neighbourhood. \n© Offenblende \nIt has also been noted that the EU needs to prioritise in its foreign policy agenda and develop clearly formulated interests. Many agreed that the EU has a strong security responsibility in its surroundings. The question was raised how short-term military solutions can be discouraged in favour of long-term approaches to security in the EU’s neighbourhood. At the same time\, a participant from the audience voiced the concern that the public needs to be informed that military force may be required in some cases\, and the EU needs to step up its security engagements accordingly. It remains rather unclear who should communicate this message. \n© Offenblende \n  \nSpeakers\nEkkehard Brose\, Special Envoy for Crisis Prevention and Stabilization\, German Foreign Office \nHervé Delphin\, Head of the Strategic Planning Division\, EU External Action Service \nWolfgang Ischinger\, Chair of the Munich Security Conference \nNatalie Tocci\, Director of Istituto Affari Internazionali and Special Advisor to the EU High Representative Federica Mogherini \n  \nModerator\nTanja A. Börzel\, EU-LISTCO’s coordinator and director of the Center for European Integration\, Freie Universitaet.
