Old Crossroads and New Frontiers: BRICS+, the European Union, and the Mediterranean Sea

April 6, 2024 LRS

I recently was invited to provide an article for a special issue of Transatlantic Policy Quarterly on the 2024 expansion of BRICS. My piece looks at the connection between far-right European politics and global authoritarian powers, with a particular focus on Italian neofascist, pro-China, pro-Russia activism and Egypt’s potential for solidifying its dictatorship via BRICS+ membership.

An update on my ongoing article series for the Foreign Policy Research Institute:

The second in my three-part series on modern migration in the Mediterranean is now available, covering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on island-based Greek refugee camps and related developments in Greek politics over the last year. The first tackled the impact of the refugee crisis on southern European politics and society, and the third will discuss the specific set of qualities that will allow certain places in the Mediterranean to accommodate inevitable future influxes of refugees and, opposite of this, those Mediterranean locales that are poorly suited to the “new normal” of migration patterns.

Read the second article in the series at the following link:

The first article in the series is also available here:

I recently published an analysis article for the Foreign Policy Research Institute, on the influence of the refugee crisis on southern European politics and society. It is the first of a three-part series on modern migration in the Mediterranean. The second will be on the COVID pandemic’s influence on an already volatile situation at a notorious refugee camp on the island of Chios. The third will discuss the specific set of qualities that will allow certain places in the Mediterranean to accommodate inevitable future influxes of refugees and, opposite of this, those Mediterranean locales that are poorly suited to the “new normal” of migration patterns.
