Stabilisierungspolitik nach den Coups im Sahel

Vergleich der Politiken von Deutschland, Großbritannien, den Niederlanden und den USA

Im Sahel regieren zunehmend autoritäre Militärregime, mit denen Zusammenarbeit zu Zielen wie Stabilität und Frieden für Deutschland immer schwieriger wird. Nun stellt sich nach den jüngsten Putschen insbesondere in Mali und Niger die Frage, ob und wie die bisherigen Stabilisierungspolitiken fortgeführt werden können. Seit etwa zehn Jahren verfolgt Deutschland gemeinsam mit den Niederlanden, Großbritannien und den USA eine Stabilisierungspolitik, bei der die Stärkung einer fragilen Regierung im Mittelpunkt steht. Künftig muss Deutschland klarer definieren, welche Partner als legitim betrachtet werden und welche grundlegenden Prinzipien trotz hoher Kontextspezifität maßgeblich sein sollten.

Pakistan before ISAF’s Withdrawal from Afghanistan

Discussion with Michael Koch, German special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, and Declan Walsh of the New York Times

The region is receiving international attention right now, above all, for the planned withdrawal of ISAF operations from Afghanistan in 2014. But 2013 will be decisive for the region too. Pakistan is to see considerable leadership turnover; elections for parliament and the provincial assemblies will take place this May, with presidential elections set for the fall. And because of several changes to the constitution, the political situation in the country is more stable than it was in 2008.

ECOWAS Intervenes in the Mali Conflict

Alassane Ouattara, president of the Ivory Coast and chairman of ECOWAS, on the organization’s next steps

Following a meeting with the German government in Berlin on Wednesday, Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara spoke at the DGAP on his country’s role in the West African economic community and in resolving the conflict in neighboring Mali. The surprising advance of Islamist rebels over the past few weeks has torpedoed international plans to deal with the crisis. French intervention was the only way to stop the rebels. ECOWAS will now try to begin their planned operation this week.
