    Outsiders on the inside: Swiss and Norwegian lessons for the UK
  • Britain must pool defence capabilities
    Bulletin article by Clara Marina O'Donnell, 01 October 2009

    Britain’s current approach to defence is unsustainable. Ambitious operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, coupled with expensive weapons programmes, have fed a defence budget deficit that is forecast to be £2 billion a year by 2011-2012.

  • Westerwelle for finance minister
    Insight by Katinka Barysch, 29 September 2009

    Guido Westerwelle is the undisputed winner of Sunday’s election in Germany. His Liberal Democratic Party (FDP) attracted almost 15 per cent of the vote, its highest share ever. Angela Merkel will remain chancellor although her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) did slightly worse than in the 2005 election. 
  • Anglo-Saxons and hedge funds: Culprits or scapegoats?
    Insight by Philip Whyte, 07 August 2009

    Disasters often provoke unseemly bouts of finger-pointing. This has certainly been true of the global financial crisis. In the Anglo-Saxon world, libertarians have blamed it on governments, and governments on ‘bankers’.

    Bulletin article by Simon Tilford, 03 August 2009

  • Carl Bildt and the cost of speaking plainly
    Insight by Charles Grant, 21 July 2009

    Carl Bildt is better known throughout the world than most of his fellow EU foreign ministers – and many of the prime ministers, too.
  • The Dis-Uniting Kingdom?
    Opinion piece by Hugo Brady
    The Wall Street Journal, 30 June 2009

    Britain's European debate has gone septic. More than half of British votes cast in recent European elections went to euro-skeptic parties ranging from the mad, bad political fringes such as the British National Party to a Conservative Party promising to claw back powers from Brussels.
  • Britain’s eurosceptics need to come clean
    Insight by Simon Tilford, 25 June 2009

    Britain’s media and political class have a right to be sceptical about the EU, even hostile to it. But they also have an obligation to be honest about the economic implications of a retreat from full membership of the Union. Their failure to do so is dishonest and poses a serious risk to Britain’s prosperity.
