This research paper examines the relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and human well-being, using China as a primary case study. It analyzes how income per capita, energy production mixes, and geography correlate with CO2 emissions across 174 countries and 30 Chinese provinces, arguing that current high-consumption lifestyles in rich countries are incompatible with low-emission stabilization targets.

This research paper examines the institutional, structural, and domestic challenges facing South Africa's foreign policy following its tenure on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). It analyzes the tension between South Africa's desire for UN reform and its perceived failures regarding human rights, while noting a shift toward more moderate diplomatic ambitions and a prioritization of domestic economic stability over global influence.

This report summarizes a seminar held on March 20, 2009, in New York, organized by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) to examine the challenges and opportunities in operationalizing the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA). The event featured discussions on strengthening the African Union's (AU) Peace and Security Council (PSC), improving synergy between the AU and international organizations like the United Nations (UN), and addressing funding and structural barriers to continental security.

This briefing analyzes the unconstitutional change of government in Madagascar in March 2009, where Andry Rajoelina took power following the resignation of President Marc Ravalomanana. The document examines the legal basis for this transition, the failure of international mediation efforts, and the precedent set by Ravalomanana's own rise to power in 2002.
