Algerian Post-Bouteflika Democartisation and EU Security Implications

This ENC In-Depth podcast is dedicated to the recently published ENC Analysis: “Algerian Post-Bouteflika Democratisation and EU Security Implications” by our Academic Council Member Dr. Ebtisam Hussein who is a tenure holder of Political Science at Cairo University and Associate Professor of Political Science at New Giza University in Egypt.

Nearly three years after the ouster, Algerian democratisation is still grappling with a compelling political reform process and major political challenges such as weakened opposition and the military’s role in civilian politics. Due to its potential negative implications for the EU’s security, it is crucial to examine these challenges preventing the prospect for the democratisation process in Algeria. In this publication, Dr. Hussein discusses the factors that led to the 2019 uprising and the current situation in Algeria while recommending that certain efforts should be examined towards promoting political reform.

The discussion was moderated by Andreas Marazis, ENC Head of Research for Eastern Europe & Central Asia, and features the comments and insights of ENC Academic Council Member Dr. Ebtisam Hussein.

War in Ukraine – Views from the EU and its Wider Neighbourhood

Episode 1

Russia launched a full-scale attack from multiple directions on Ukraine on February 24, bombing major cities and prompting a mass exodus of refugees. In response, NATO deployed troops to member states in the region and the EU, US and allied countries introduced new sanctions, including the suspension of the broadcasting activities of major Russian state-owned outlets, airspace ban, restrictions on Russia’s central bank and expelling key banks off the main global payments system.

A series of prickly questions arise concerning…

  • …the way political parties, civil society and citizens across the EU respond to the crisis
  • …the socioeconomic consequences of the war for member states
  • …the future of the EU’s security and defence policy
  • …the repercussions for the EU’s wider neighbourhood
  • …Europe’s energy security
  • …Europe’s migration policy among other things!

The series will provide views and investigate the repercussions of the war across the EU, the UK, and wider Europe.
