artikel Regierungswechsel: Das Ende der Ratlosigkeit? Ob er Nationaler Sicherheitsrat heißt oder anders: Mehr Kohärenz und größere Strategiefähigkeit sind entscheidend für die deutsche Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik. Die nächsten Koalitionsverhandlungen sind eine einmalige Chance, die Gremienstruktur der Bundesregierung neu zu justieren. Das kann aber nur klappen, wenn alle relevanten Parteien vorher wissen, was sie wollen. Sarah Brockmeier • 06.05.2021
artikel Mehr als eine bürokratische Pflichtübung: Ressortgemeinsamkeit in der zivilen Konfliktbearbeitung Im Rahmen des Leitlinienprozesses haben die Ministerien Schritte zur engeren Zusammenarbeit eingeführt. Trotz Verbesserungen hängen Umsetzung und Erfolg ressortgemeinsamer Abstimmung noch stark vom Willen der involvierten Personen ab. In der nächsten Legislaturperiode sollten Bundesregierung und Bundestag mehr integriertes Krisenengagement einfordern – und selbst vorleben. Gerrit Kurtz • 28.04.2021
artikel Putting Protection First: Countering Forced Recruitment at the Colombian-Venezuelan Border A complex web of intersecting vulnerabilities in the Colombian-Venezuelan border region leaves children at risk of forced recruitment and exploitation by non-state armed groups. Germany should support community groups that engage with young girls, ensure the protection of teachers and exercise diplomatic pressure on Colombia to fully implement its existing peace agreement.

artikel Exiting Armed Conflicts: Prioritising Education in Acute Crises In schools, children ideally acquire the necessary skills to build their future. To stabilise societies in the long term, children’s education must continue throughout ongoing armed conflicts. Germany should thus prioritise education in its immediate crisis response, enhance inter-ministerial cooperation and allocate at least 5 percent of its humanitarian budget to education.

artikel A Threat to Regional Stability: Water and Conflict in Central Asia Water availability represents a major challenge for the five Central Asian countries and is increasingly exacerbated by climate change. This has led to violence in the region, bearing the risk of further conflict. Germany should support stronger regional cooperation for transboundary water management to foster security in Central Asia. Janna Rheinbay, Sebastian Mayer, Stefanie Wesch, Kira Vinke • 20.04.2021
artikel Yemen’s Water Crisis: A New Urgency to an Old Problem In Yemen’s complex humanitarian crisis, water scarcity, conflict, and climate change impacts are interlinked. The use of water as a weapon accelerates the emergency. Germany and other EU member states should support technical solutions to reduce the agricultural sector’s water dependency. Politically, they should strengthen communities’ self-management of water governance. Hadil Al-Mowafak • 06.04.2021

artikel Competitors or Partners? How Germany and the UAE Can Cooperate on Stabilization The UAE’s and Germany’s approaches towards stabilization are fundamentally different in their relation to national authorities, non-state actors, and multilateral cooperation. Nevertheless, cooperation can be furthered in specific key areas where common interests prevail, such as police training and demining activities in Afghanistan and Yemen.

artikel The Responsibility to Prepare and Prevent: A Framework for Action to Manage Climate-Linked Conflict Climate change comes with a range of security risks. However, with the right preparation, they can be managed and mitigated. Germany should push for the implementation of the Responsibility to Prepare and Prevent framework by promoting the institutionalization and harmonization of risk assessments, as well as better coordination between climate and security governance.
