Briefing Paper (in German: Analysen und Stellungnahmen) are always four pages long and discuss ongoing and controversial issues in international relations. By including recommendations, the series primarily aims at policy makers, practitioners, and representatives of the (professional) media industry. Besides, the series is also open to everyone interested in developmental issues.
All editions of the series can be downloaded in full text and for free on our website.
In 2022, “Briefing Papers” and „Analysen und Stellungnahmen“ were merged in the new publicatiojn series „IDOS Policy Brief“.

Clara Brandi / Axel Berger / Dominique Bruhn (2015)
Multilateral co-operation has come up against its limits in recent years. Minilateral or plurilateral pioneer alliances can lend new impetus to international trade and climate policy, however, they should augment and support the multilateral process rather than replace it.

The stresses of poverty reduce cognitive capacity, necessitating behavioural informed approaches to increase energy efficiency uptake and related co-benefits.

Refugee crises are caused by wars, political repression, terrorism, food shortages and natural disasters. What can development policy, including humanitarian aid, do in order to combat these root causes?
Putsches cause international actors to push for military withdrawal. Achieving this requires more than sanctions – designating parts of the military as cooperation partners, addressing structural challenges within the country and selecting context-appropriate tools to do so are also essential steps.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development puts the interdependence of domestic and external policy-making center stage. It reflects core European values and interests. The EU Global Strategy and the revised EU 2020 Strategy should become umbrella strategies for domestic and external implementation.
This briefing paper argues that civil wars ending through military victory do not necessarily provide the better chances for sustainable domestic peace. Peace negotiations, demobilization, addressing underlying grievances and building local trust can all be key to overcome legacies of violence.

Hoch, Stephan / Britta Horstmann / Axel Michaelowa / Jonas Hein (2015)
