Research project aimed at defining governance models for the security dimension of Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES)  as well as the role of European Union Satellite Centre (EUSC) within it. The project is based not only on research and analysis, but also on the interaction with representatives of the European institutions and agencies involved in GMES

Partners: European Union Satellite Centre (EUSC, Coordinatore) con la partecipazione di aziende e di istituti di ricerca europei

Funding: European Commission - 7th Framework Programme

The objective in this project is to explore and compare relevant cultural phenomena and legal determinations of civil security across Europe, taking into account the existing significant differences between countries and regions. The aim is to give the EU a clear view of which kind of systems that could successfully enhance the security in certain regions, and contribute and give EU-added value to the debate concerning “not one security fits all”.

This is a study of the imbalances in current accounts of Eurozone countries and possible adjustment mechanisms.
The study is broken down into three parts:
- a study of the growing imbalances in current accounts inside the eurozone and the compensating factors;
- a critical look at the standard models that theorized that a virtuous rebalancing mechanism would establish itself without adjustments;
- an analysis of the structural adjustments adopted by the European Union (EU) and the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) after the sovereign debt and banking crises.

IAI participates in the activities EuroMeSCo - the euro-Mediterranean network of non-governmental institutions dealing with foreign policy and security.
