Egypt’s president is likely to secure a third term in December 2023 elections despite severe economic challenges and waning public support. The country has changed its international posture in the last decade due to its perception that Washington has become less committed to supporting Egyptian leaders since the 2011 ousting of former president Hosni Mubarak. It has forged closer ties with Russia and China and leaned more heavily on regional partners, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and even Israel.

India and the United Kingdom have described an ambitious agenda for increasing defence-industrial cooperation, but almost no such engagement has occurred in practice. This is due in large part to India’s strong protectionist policies, which are meant to defend domestic industries and encourage the development of indigenous defence capabilities. These policies include rules that restrict foreign investment in defence, regulate the ownership of intellectual-property rights and define the amount of indigenous content that must be used in defence manufacturing.

Relations between Algeria and Morocco have been deteriorating since 2020, raising concerns that a direct conflict may occur. The dispute revolves around historical grievances, differing state visions and the status of Western Sahara, and any conflict would have significant repercussions for stability in North Africa and pose challenges for Western countries in navigating their relationships with both countries.

AbstractSlovakia’s political landscape shifted significantly with the return to power in October 2023 of former prime minister Robert Fico and his party Smer. Fico’s anti-Ukraine stance, reliance on nationalist sentiments and potential alignment with Hungary’s Viktor Orbán in European Union policymaking have raised concerns in EU member-state capitals about the country’s foreign policy.

AbstractThe ongoing criminal trial of former energy executives in Sweden is groundbreaking and marks the first prosecution of corporate leaders for complicity in war crimes since the Nuremberg trials. There is a growing trend in European national courts to attempt to hold corporate leaders responsible for alleged human-rights violations abroad, but in doing so, prosecutors must navigate legal complexities and challenges.

AbstractSeveral of the United Nation’s blue-helmet forces, particularly in Africa, have struggled to maintain order, and dissatisfied governments have been looking elsewhere for security assistance. And while many peacekeeping missions are winding down, deteriorating security conditions globally suggest that new UN forces may be created in the coming years in response to unexpected bouts of violence or unrest.

The trinational island of Borneo is facing several new challenges, including the planned construction of Indonesia’s new capital city, political tensions between Malaysia’s federal government and its states of Sabah and Sarawak and economic concerns in Brunei. While some multilateral platforms for regional and sub-regional security cooperation exist, none focuses on pan-Borneo security challenges, which will probably become more pressing during the current decade.
