The politicisation of immigration: A comparative perspective in Europe and its neighbourhood

Issue 140 of Revista CIDOB d’Afers Internacionals, coordinated by Blanca Garcés, analyses the causes and consequences of the politicisation of immigration. The comparison of the cases of Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Turkey, and Tunisia helps discern how different political, socio-economic, and cultural contexts can lead to different forms of politicisation.

Venezuela en el ojo del huracán Trump

Venezuela vuelve a estar en el punto de mira de la administración Trump. El despliegue de una flota de Estados Unidos en el Caribe, el abatimiento de lanchas de supuestos narcotraficantes venezolanos, la ruptura del diálogo entre los dos países y la autorización de operaciones encubiertas de la CIA han activado las especulaciones sobre hasta donde está dispuesta a llegar la Casa Blanca.

Peace through strength? What Trump’s plan means for Palestine and global politics

Presented as a roadmap to peace, Trump’s plan for Gaza appears little more than power politics dressed up as diplomacy. While this might explain the rallying support from the international community, the risk is confusing short-term negotiations on a ceasefire with the broader need for sustainable post-war scenarios.

Cities as refuges for biodiversity and laboratories for climate resilience

As the impacts of climate change intensify, cities are becoming both refuges for biodiversity and laboratories for innovation in climate adaptation and mitigation. COP30 delegates arriving in Belém, the gateway to the Amazon rainforest, should bear in mind that the global agendas for climate and nature must be urgently aligned.

Some member states prioritise enlargement and others reform. his CIDOB Briefing presents the main conclusions of the seminar “Enlargement and Reform for the EU: A Geopolitical Response?”, which explored the state of EU enlargement and reform and whether they can or should be understood as a response to the new geopolitical reality.
