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.
