The Chatham House analysis argues that Israel's current political deadlock stems from deep ideological divisions, which severely threaten national stability and governance capacity. Key evidence points to the inability of major political blocs to form a cohesive government, leading to policy paralysis and internal friction. Strategically, the report implies that external actors, including regional powers and global allies, must adjust their engagement models, recognizing that internal instability makes long-term policy predictability challenging. Continued fragmentation necessitates a shift toward supporting internal reconciliation mechanisms rather than focusing solely on external security cooperation.
Saving global economic governance from the ‘Trump shock’
English Summary
The report argues that the global economic order faces significant disruption from both the unpredictable policies of the US (the 'Trump shock') and China's resistance to international economic norms. To safeguard principles of openness and mutual benefit, the authors advocate for establishing a permanent 'third pole' alliance of market-oriented economies. This new bloc would be designed to preserve core economic rules by excluding both the US and China. Key members should include the EU and the CPTPP nations, supplemented by other major economies like Brazil and South Korea to create a large, effective, and rules-based economic space.
中文摘要
該報告主張，全球經濟秩序正遭受來自美國不可預測政策（即「川普衝擊」）和中國對國際經濟規範的抵制所帶來的重大動盪。為保護開放和互惠互利的原則，作者們倡議建立一個永久性的「第三極」聯盟，該聯盟由市場導向型經濟體組成。這個新經濟集團旨在排除美國和中國，從而維護核心經濟規則。其關鍵成員應包括歐盟（EU）和CPTPP成員國，並輔以巴西、韓國等其他主要經濟體，以打造一個規模龐大、高效且基於規則的經濟空間。

The Chatham House analysis argues that the EU's aggressive industrial policy, encapsulated by its 'Made in Europe' initiatives, is creating significant geopolitical pressure on the UK. This policy framework forces London to make a critical strategic choice: either deepen its alignment with EU standards and regulatory blocs or pivot toward closer economic and technological ties with Beijing. Failure to define a clear path risks the UK being marginalized by the EU's self-sufficient economic sphere, necessitating an urgent reevaluation of its foreign and trade policy to maintain global relevance.

The Chatham House analysis details the protracted nature of Cameroon's Anglophone Crisis, arguing that the conflict is fundamentally rooted in historical linguistic and cultural marginalization rather than simple separatist aims. Key evidence points to the failure of centralized state institutions to integrate the region's unique identity and governance needs. Policy implications stress that long-term stability requires a shift from military solutions toward comprehensive diplomatic frameworks that promote genuine decentralization and political inclusion across the Anglophone regions.

The article analyzes the complex relationship between Britain and the EU in the context of developing 'sovereign AI.' It argues that while geopolitical differences create competitive pressures, the necessity of establishing joint standards for AI governance mandates a strategic pivot toward collaboration. Key evidence centers on the divergence between the EU's comprehensive regulatory approach and the UK's more agile, market-driven model. Policymakers must therefore prioritize structured cooperation to prevent technological fragmentation and secure mutual market access in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

5.Division between Iraq’s Kurdish parties risks undermining Kurdistan region’s autonomy (Chatham House)
The Chatham House analysis argues that deep political divisions among Iraq's major Kurdish parties pose a significant threat to the Kurdistan Region's long-term autonomy and stability. These internal fractures weaken the region's collective negotiating power with Baghdad and regional rivals, making it vulnerable to external interference and political instability. For policy makers, the findings suggest that international partners must prioritize mediating political reconciliation among the factions. Strategic efforts are needed to support unified governance and strengthen regional institutions to safeguard the Kurdistan Region's self-determination and stability.
