  1. No 205: Terrorisme au Pakistan 

    Mahadevan, Prem (2017)
    Politique de sécurité: analyses du CSS
    Le terrorisme au Pakistan revêt deux dimensions, l’une internationale et l’autre nationale. Ces deux niveaux sont historiquement étroitement liés. Mais certains membres de l’appareil d’État pakistanais ont tardé à percevoir les interconnexions, choisissant à la place d’effectuer une distinction entre les «bons» et les «mauvais» terroristes.

  2. No. 205: Sectarianism in Pakistan 

    Mahadevan, Prem (2017)
    CSS Analyses in Security Policy
    Terrorism in Pakistan has two dimensions: international and domestic. The two are historically closely linked. However, elements of the Pakistani state apparatus have been slow to recognize the connection, attempting instead to distinguish ‘good’ from ‘bad’ terrorists.

  3. No. 204: The Urbanization of Disaster Management 

    Roth, Florian; Maduz, Linda (2017)
    CSS Analyses in Security Policy
    Protection against catastrophic events, including acts of terrorism, is a central task in security policy. Civil protection is an important instrument in this context. In most countries, civil protection is organized through national and regional structures. As a result of the growing importance of urban security issues, the existing systems are coming under pressure to adapt.

  4. No. 203: La politique climatique après Paris: des vérités qui dérangent 

    Fischer, Severin (2017)
    Politique de sécurité: analyses du CSS
    L’accord de Paris conclu en décembre 2015 a fondamentalement modifié les structures de la politique climatique internationale. Dans le même temps, l’écart entre les objectifs mondiaux et les mesures nationales se creuse de manière perceptible. Une conséquence directe de cette situation est qu’il devient nécessaire d’étudier de nouvelles options technologiques.

  5. No. 203: Climate Policy After Paris: Inconvenient Truths 

    Fischer, Severin (2017)
    CSS Analyses in Security Policy
    The Paris Agreement of December 2015 fundamentally realigned the structures of international climate policy. At the same time, global targets and national measures are manifestly diverging. One direct implication is the need to study new technology options.

    Fischer, Severin (2017)

  7. No. 202: The OSCE and the Future of European Security 

    Nünlist, Christian (2017)
    CSS Analyses in Security Policy
    In 2017, under Austrian chairmanship, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) faces a difficult task: Europe’s path back to collective security is a rocky one. However, Vienna, as an experienced mediator, could restore lost trust between Russia and the West. The US under President Donald Trump is embarked on an uncertain course.

  8. No. 202: L’OSCE et l’avenir de la sécurité européenne 

    Nünlist, Christian (2017)
    Politique de sécurité: analyses du CSS
    L’OSCE se voit confrontée en 2017, sous la présidence autrichienne, à une tâche ardue: le retour vers la sécurité coopérative en Europe est en effet semé d’embûches. Etant une médiatrice qui ne doit plus faire ses preuves, Vienne pourrait cependant rétablir la confiance détruite entre la Russie et l’Occident. La position des Etats-Unis sous la présidence de Donald Trump reste cependant incertaine dans un premier temps.

  9. No Shortcut to a European Deterrent 

    Thränert, Oliver (2017)
    CSS Policy Perspectives
    Ever since Donald Trump arrived in the White House, European governments have been doubting US security commitments. Yet, to replace US-European nuclear sharing with a purely European alternative is hardly an option.

  10. Die OSZE und die Zukunft europäischer Sicherheit 

    Nünlist, Christian (2017)
    ​CSS Analysen zur Sicherheitspolitik
    Die OSZE steht 2017 unter österreichischem Vorsitz vor einer diffizilen Aufgabe: Der Weg zurück zu kooperativer Sicherheit in Europa ist steinig. Als bewährter Vermittler könnte Wien aber helfen, zerrüttetes Vertrauen zwischen Russland und dem Westen wiederherstellen. Unsicher bleibt vorderhand die Positionierung der USA unter Präsident Donald Trump.

  11. Klimapolitik nach Paris: Unbequeme Wahrheiten 

    Fischer, Severin (2017)
    CSS Analysen zur Sicherheitspolitik
    Die Strukturen der internationalen Klimapolitik haben sich durch das Pariser Übereinkommen vom Dezember 2015 grundlegend verändert. Gleichzeitig driften globale Zielsetzungen und nationale Massnahmen erkennbar auseinander. Die notwendige Auseinandersetzung mit neuen Technologieoptionen ist eine direkte Folge.

    Barmet, Céline; Thränert, Oliver (2017)
    ​CSS Analysen zur Sicherheitspolitik
    Die Chemiewaffenkonvention ist eine bedeutende Errungenschaft der internationalen Abrüstungspolitik. Die Vertragsstaaten sind jedoch zunehmend zerstritten. Zugleich könnten C-Waffen angesichts neuer wissenschaftlicher Entwicklungen wieder an Relevanz gewinnen.

  13. Beyond Ones and Zeroes: Reframing cyber conflict 

    Gomez, Miguel Alberto (2017)
    International Affairs Forum
    Over the past decade, a steady stream of cyber operations has captured the imagination and stoked fears of the public at large. The possibility that a society increasingly reliant on cyberspace is at the mercy of actors capable of exploiting this dependency has been parroted across different quarters - from politicians, military leaders, and even academics. This essay argues that perhaps the time has come to reorient our views with respect ...

  14. Algeria: Stability against All Odds? 

    Watanabe, Lisa (2017)
    CSS Analyses in Security Policy
    Algeria’s stability is being tested by persistently low oil prices and a lack of genuine democratic transition in the country. Yet, the regime displays remarkable resilience in the face of challenges.

    Barmet, Céline; Thränert, Oliver (2017)
    CSS Analyses in Security Policy
    The Chemical Weapons Convention is an important achievement of international disarmament policy. However, the states parties to the treaty are increasingly at odds with each other. At the same time, due to new scientific developments, C-weapons might once again gain relevance.

  16. Defense Choices for the Next French President 

    Keohane, Daniel (2017)
    CSS Analyses in Security Policy
    France has been the most militarily active European member of NATO in recent years, including a large domestic deployment because of an ongoing state of emergency. The next French President may have to make some major defense policy choices; on operations, spending, capabilities and international partnerships. Can France maintain its ambition to be a European power with global reach?

  20. Fit For Purpose? Reform und Herausforderungen von UN-Friedensförderung 

    Zogg, Benno (2017)
    CSS Policy Briefs
    CSS Briefing Note 2017 is dedicated to the recent push for reforms in UN peacekeeping. The UN is focusing on a stronger political component of its peace missions, on conflict prevention, and aims at a comprehensive approach and partnerships with other organizations – however, Member States and bureaucracy severely limit the room for reform. Increased engagement by the West or Switzerland are most likely in the form of technological enablers, ...
