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.

1000 days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Joe Biden, with two months left in office, authorized the Ukrainian military to use ATACMS long-range missiles to strike into Russian territory. For Putin, this decision means that NATO has officially entered the war. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's arrival in the White House could change the future of the conflict.

Nigel Gould-Davies, Senior Fellow IISS discusses this topic in an interview with Eleonora Tafuro Ambrosetti.

The European Union and Maghreb countries are key trade partners. In recent years, significant focus has been placed on the establishment of sustainable supply chains, green energy corridors, and improved logistics: new synergies and complementarities between the two shores of the Mediterranean are expected to emerge in various industrial sectors. A deepening of EU-Maghreb economic integration is the long-term objective of this privileged partnership. Nevertheless, challenges remain, including regulatory issues, investment barriers, and the potential need to update trade agreements. How can economic integration between Europe and the Maghreb be advanced? What role can the private sector play in fostering stronger trade ties? And how might economic cooperation help mitigate geopolitical frictions?

As cross-border clashes between Hezbollah and Israel intensify, Lebanon fears a further escalation of tensions that could spread throughout the country. Beyond the ongoing conflict, the country is grappling with multiple crises: a political stalemate that has left Lebanon without a president for almost two years and an economic-financial crisis that has been strangling it for five years. At the same time, tension is mounting towards Syrian refugees, who have been made a scapegoat for the country’s inescapable vortex of crises. This event aims to analyse the internal challenges Lebanon is facing, while assessing the potential impact of a further escalation of violence on the southern border.

Panel composition:
- Karim Emile Bitar, Associate Research Fellow, IRIS
- Leila Dagher, Associate Professor of Economics, Lebanese American University
- David Wood, Senior Analyst, International Crisis Group

Chair
Mattia Serra, Research Fellow, ISPI
