The G7’s Geoeconomic Future

Insights from Conflicts with Russia, China, and Iran

In an increasingly conflictual global environment, the G7 has become a more and more important geoeconomic actor. Yet looking at the case studies of Russia, Iran, and China reveals that the geoeconomic role the G7 plays has been mixed. For the G7 countries to improve their geoeconomic impact, they need to align their interests and risk perceptions, as well as improve their ability to propose and enact geoeconomic measures. In addition, the G7 should bolster its partnerships with other democracies and like-minded countries.

Sudan and South Sudan: Two Countries, One System?

The threat of interstate war seems contained. Yet intrastate violence increases, and spreads across borders.

Three years after South Sudan’s peaceful secession, an internal power struggle has turned into a wildfire. Meanwhile, armed conflicts in Sudan continue. A joint symposium by the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) and Media in Cooperation and Transition (MICT) analyzed the situation and discussed policy recommendations.

Engaging with Difficult Partners: The EU’s Iran Approach

Brussels Briefing with Marietje Schaake, Bernd Erbel, and Cornelius Adebahr

After years of sanctions and deadlocked talks, the January 2014 launch of an interim nuclear agreement between Iran and the E3/EU+3 promises to improve relations. But a deal that would satisfy the international community’s concerns over Iran’s nuclear program and at the same time allow the country to shed its pariah status is by no means guaranteed. At the DGAP, Marietje Schaake, Bernd Erbel, and Cornelius Adebahr discussed the EU’s Iran approach and the prospect of reaching long-term agreement.
