ISPI International

The Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI) is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit think tank providing leading research and viable policy options to government officials, business executives and the public at large wishing to better understand international issues. Founded in Milan, Italy, in 1934 thanks to the support of a group of businessmen led by Alberto Pirelli, founder of Pirelli S.p.A., ISPI has always adopted a pragmatic approach in analyzing geographical areas and topics of particular interest to Italy and Europe.

ISPI is the only Italian think tank – and among the few in Europe – combining policy-oriented research with an equally significant commitment to education and training, to conferences and advice on international trends for businesses, Institutions and the wider audience. Its work features an inter-disciplinary approach and partnerships with leading think tanks and universities from all over the world.

In cooperation with the Wilson Center

New technologies are transforming geopolitics, even in the wider Mediterranean region, shaping the region's economy and energy sectors. Despite their potential, these technologies face challenges like supply chain issues, the cost of scaling up, efficiency improvements and the risks of new dependencies and monopolies. This event offers insights from on the Mediterranean’s role in the new geopolitics of technology and focuses on the social implications and industrial challenges of the twin green and digital transitions in the region.

With:
- Mothanna Gharaibeh, CEO, Fifth Advisory Services, Former Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, Jordan
- Mohammed Soliman, Director, Strategic Technologies and Cyber Security Program, Middle East Institute

Introduction
- Merissa Khurma, Director, Middle East Program, Wilson Center

MED Panel "The Geopolitics of New Technologies in the Wider Mediterranean"

YouTube Video VVVBRktLOFJfODFxVXZoUGRqRi01Mm5BLmpzNFNBekRlUDVN

In cooperation with the German Institute for Global and Area Studies

The relationship between New Delhi and countries in the MENA region has historically been characterised by profound political, economic, and cultural ties. India, where elections have just re-confirmed Modi as Prime Minister, has recently increased its interests and strategic projection in the region, establishing itself as a significant political and economic partner. This event will delve into the interchange between the Asian giant and the countries of the region, their multifaceted relations and prospects for the future considering the context of the Gaza war and renewed uncertainties in the broader region.

Panel composition:
- Abdessalam Saad Jaldi, International Relations Specialist, Policy Center for the New South
- Nicola Missaglia, Head of Communications and Publishing; Research Fellow, India Desk, ISPI
- Viraj Solanki, Research Fellow for South and Central Asian Defence, Strategy and Diplomacy, IISS

MED Panel "India in the Middle East: Looking Westward"

YouTube Video VVVBRktLOFJfODFxVXZoUGRqRi01Mm5BLlQtcEwtekxES3hZ

With the rise of economic security, a new economic order is taking form. This order is characterized by industrial policies and sanctions to secure global value chains in great power competition, especially regarding critical and dual-use technologies. However, these measures can strongly impact the world economy by increasing the costs of the green and digital transitions while being ineffective in protecting national industries. How will economic security evolve in the coming years? What are the best practices to follow, and how can cooperation within the G7 and between European countries be strengthened?

The death of President Ebrahim Raisi has ushered in a new phase for the Islamic Republic of Iran. With the upcoming presidential elections on June 28, the competition for the presidency is intensifying. Raisi’s death, who was also one of the most credible candidates to succeed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, introduces new scenarios for succession. This event aims to analyse the domestic and foreign challenges that Iran will face in the coming months while assessing the impact of the helicopter crash on the ongoing regional escalation of tensions.

With:
- Hamidreza Azizi, Visiting Fellow, Africa and Middle East Research Division, SWP Berlin
- Barbara Slavin, Distinguished Fellow, Middle East & North Africa, Stimson Center

Chair
Mattia Serra, Junior Research Fellow, ISPI

MED Panel "Iran’s Next Chapter: the Challenge of Elections"

YouTube Video VVVBRktLOFJfODFxVXZoUGRqRi01Mm5BLk95SFVfQ2dScmJB

The concept of the Global South is gaining traction in international relations, with China and other countries actively incorporating it into their rhetoric. China aims to bolster the BRICS grouping and assert the political leadership of emerging nations by introducing novel “global initiatives” focusing on development, security, and civilization. Simultaneously, India is also vying for leadership within the Global South, positioning itself not merely as a critic but as a crucial link to the Global North within the framework of the Indo-Pacific strategy. What are the core components of Beijing’s strategy towards the Global South? How can New Delhi leverage its pivotal position in this dynamic? Furthermore, what trajectory might the emerging blocs such as BRICS and the Indo-Pacific region follow in the future?

This Roundtable is organized in the context of Think7 which is co-chaired by ISPI.

YouTube Video VVVBRktLOFJfODFxVXZoUGRqRi01Mm5BLjYyelFJSUhMaFQw

Cyberattacks, fake news and disinformation have become part of our daily reality. Risks are even higher today, as the EU and the US near crucial elections, and the world is beset by rising rivalries and even open conflicts, from Ukraine to the Middle East.
What is the disruptive potential of these cyber risks in view of today’s crises and elections? Are Western countries (and the G7 in particular) ready to defend themselves and to respondselves?

This Roundtable is organized in the context of Think7 which is co-chaired by ISPI.

A World of Cyber Threats: Is the G7 Ready?

YouTube Video VVVBRktLOFJfODFxVXZoUGRqRi01Mm5BLjRWbGlnSjVWZnNN

The world is awash in debt. Global debt today exceeds 300 trillion dollars, over 3 times the annual world economic output. Poor and developing countries are suffering the most as their debt burden hampers their ability to grow. High interest rates are just making things worse. Debt renegotiation would be key but big creditors (e.g. China) are not keen to grant concessions.
Can the world escape the potential vicious circle of an ever-increasing debt burden? What recipes can be offered by G7 countries and beyond?

This Roundtable is organized in the context of Think7 which is co-chaired by ISPI.

Speakers: Franco Bruni (ISPI); Coskun Cangoz (TEPAV); Abbi Kedir (AERC); Shahin Vallee (DGAP); Antonio Villafranca (ISPI)
