The German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) publishes four independent publication series. IDOS researchers publish their current research results in Discussion Papers, Policy Briefs and Studies. Visiting scholars and cooperation partners also have the opportunity to publish their research results in one of the IDOS series. Publications from the series Analysen und Stellungnahmen, Briefing Paper and Two-Pager / Zweiseiter, which will be discontinued in 2022, will continue to be available online. The fourth publication series is for opinion pieces: The Current Column regularly comments on the latest developments and issues in international development policy.
IDOS researchers also regularly publish their research results in peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed German and international journals and publication series of other research institutes and institutions as well as with renowned book publishers. In addition, they use blogs and online platforms of partner institutions to communicate the Institute's research and advisory activities to an interested public.

“Social cohesion” and the “social contract” are two interrelated concepts that help to understand the relationships between individuals, social groups and state institutions. Both enable governments and foreign actors to design policies for sustainable development, albeit in different contexts.

In this brief, we discuss ideas for the support of a just and green structural transformation in BMZ portfolios that are

• concrete: they can easily be incorporated into ongoing international cooperation programmes.
The 2011 Arab uprisings promised political, economic, and social change for the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean. Since then, the region has changed, but not as many had expected. This paper discusses the investment strategies of two of the most important international partners for the region: the EU and China. The Global Gateway and Belt and Road strategies are mechanisms for building influence and accessing resources in a competitive global geostrategic environment. There are nevertheless important overlaps and potential synergies that could be exploited for the benefit of MENA societies as well as the EU and China.
