Latest Issue:
In this issue of the journal, Katty Demesmaeker from International Partnerships Belgium examines the peace component; Ana María Montoya and Santiago Pardo from the World Justice Project analyse the human rights status quo of intervention; and Ariana Lopes Morey from the International Committee of the Red Cross treats the interplay between emergency aid and the long-term dimension. As the latest OECD-UN Dialogue on 11 May 2026 in Berlin demonstrates, the concept of the HDP Nexus must now be fundamentally rethought and steered more strongly by actors on the ground. Addressing these ‘weaknesses’ is a matter of particular urgency in an era dominated by economic realpolitik and a geopolitical power structure.
