Istituto Affari Internazionali. Un nuovo libro

New Publications on the Gulf Region and the Role of the European Union The Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), together with partner institutions, have published a series of new research papers and commentaries exploring different themes in the evolving relationship between the EU and the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). A complete list and access to the research is available here. Published in the context of the two-year project Sharaka – Enhancing Understanding and Cooperation in EU-GCC Relations, the research tackles themes ranging from trade and energy relations, to maritime security, the media, finance and higher education. Coordinated by IAI and funded by the European Commission, the project aims to promote relations between Europe and the Gulf region by carrying out policy-oriented research, dissemination and outreach activities as well as providing opportunities for the exchange and training of young researchers and academics from Europe and GCC countries.
