  • 15 Mar 2010 - - Reuters - ANALYSTS' VIEW-Early results from Iraq's election IISS Logo"It now appears to be all about the coalition. If Maliki is strong enough to build the group that can keep him in power and if so, on what ideological basis; sectarianism or some form on nationalism? "Given his behaviour during the campaign, I would bet on sectarianism and some form of alliance with all or elements of the Iraqi National Alliance (INA)."

Gli esami, per gli iracheni, non finiscono mai.

  • 05 Mar 2010 - - New York Times - Iran in Its Intricacy IISS LogoAs Andrew Parasiliti of the International Institute for Strategic Studies has said, “Engagement with Iran is a piece of the process for change in Iran — not a detriment to it.” "The question is making sure from China's perspective that those sanctions have minimal impact on its interests there."
  • 05 Mar 2010 - - The National - After Iraq vote, wrangling to form government will begin IISS LogoToby Dodge, an Iraq expert at the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies, said the power vacuum during these months as political players slog it out to create a workable coalition could be a “real concern” for Iraq. “We saw it in 2005 and 2006 following the first elections when the country was basically adrift and almost spiralled into civil war.”
  • 04 Mar 2010 - - Agence France Presse - Isolated China will need payback for Iran sanctions IISS Logo"China is preparing the ground to effectively water down the expectations and the impact of any sanctions that might eventually be agreed," said Sarah Raine, a China expert at Britain's International Institute for Strategic Studies.
