| Summary/Abstract |
The war in Gaza seems to be over even if the cease-fire is shaky. A European-American initiative could now create the conditions for something more durable, which addresses the security needs of both Israelis and Palestinians. To do so, Syria and Hamas must be engaged in the peace process

| Summary/Abstract |
Twenty years after the fall of the Iron Curtain, it is time to take stock. Have expectations been fulfilled? Not entirely. There are three areas where Europe has clearly lagged: bridging the continent's divisions; establishing a veritable common foreign policy; and fostering a sense of legitimacy for the project of European integration.

| Summary/Abstract |
The United States and Europe need to alter their previous strategies if they want to influence Iran. The Obama administration should focus on using political and diplomatic means to address the regime in Tehran. The European Union should attach concrete and verifiable conditions to its stipulations.

| Summary/Abstract |
As it stands, Arctic policy is already a dense network of legal and political agreements between different national and supranational stakeholders. Now the European Union wants to play a greater role in shaping this policy.

| Summary/Abstract |
A new global energy framework is long overdue. The Obama administration could well be interested in teaming up with the European Union to create one. In addition to enhancing security, it would also spur economic growth and curb global warming.

| Summary/Abstract |
There are growing differences in the way the transatlantic partners assess each other. While Europe has embraced Barack Obama as an "American European," America is looking for strategic partners in other corners of the globe. If Europe wants to be taken seriously, it must decide to become a meaningful actor.

| Summary/Abstract |
If the Obama administration is going to lay the groundwork for peace in the Middle East, it has to realize that it can no longer set the agenda alone. America and Europe need to coordinate a common position. Ultimately though, they have to help the Israelis and Palestinians fashion peace for themselves.

| Summary/Abstract |
Europe has been focusing on greater energy efficiency for some time, while the United States has lagged behind. But with its impressive capacity for innovation, the United States still has the potential to become an alternative energy role model alongside Europe. Ultimately, together they will have to prepare the rest of the world for the effects of climate change.

| Summary/Abstract |
It is not easy being small-especially in the world of global power politics. History has taught the Central Europeans this lesson all too well. But the young democracies of the region exert surprising clout today in the geopolitical arena. For once, they are thinking like players rather than pawns.

| Summary/Abstract |
Critics of the United Nations are hasty to argue that it is outdated and fundamentally ill-equipped to handle the security and humanitarian needs of an increasingly complex world. On the contrary, while the United Nations is undoubtedly in need of reform, it is still an effective force for improving the lives of millions.

| Summary/Abstract |
In Germany, "national interest" is no longer a taboo reason for involvement in military engagements abroad. This gives the debate around humanitarian interventions a new logic. Germany-and the United States too-would do well to think twice about the responsibilities and resources that their interventions abroad ultimately entail.

| Summary/Abstract |
The current Beijing administration inherited a China ridden with social conflict. The new government took a utilitarian rather than an institutional approach; it enacted a series of populist policies without significantly reforming political structures. Such efforts have been well-received by the general public, but their sustainability is questionable.

The European Union must finally adopt a consistent policy toward Russia. In addition to signing a new Partnership and Cooperation Agreement, Brussels should work with Russia to reform international organizations and expand joint projects such as free trade zones.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Obama administration has to rethink the transatlantic partnership in light of shifting power relations and new global security threats. Washington's preferred Atlantic institution, NATO, is already overburdened. The European Union should be prepared to step in and contribute according to its strengths.

| Summary/Abstract |
Israel has an array of options besides reoccupying the Gaza Strip. One alternative is to open passages linking it to Gaza, ending the damaging economic blockade. Another is to seek direct talks with Hamas. Both are preferable to long-term occupation, which Israel would be hard-pressed to end cleanly.
