Interim Editor: Riccardo Alcaro
IAI Briefs are concise, research-based, English-language analyses emerging from projects of which the Istituto Affari Internazionali is part. Each brief, ranging from 1,500 to 3,500 words, addresses a pressing and policy-relevant issue, offering evidence-informed insights grounded in rigorous inquiry. Designed to inform decision-makers, practitioners and stakeholders, the IAI Briefs series aims to contribute to more effective, equitable and informed policymaking across a range of thematic areas, serving as a bridge between research and public policy in national and international contexts.
