The terrorist attack by Hamaz on Israel
In this episode we delve into the possible consequences of the terrorist attach by Hamaz on Israel on October the 7th 2023. More then 1500 people were killed in the so called “Al-Aqsa Storm” by Hamaz and Israel is currently on the crossroad on how to proceed. Hamaz could not have executed a military operation like this without outside assistance and the geopolitical playing field seems to be under pressure as conflicts are being fueled in the region.
Raffaele Petroni interviews Sergei Oudman, President of CIRIS.

The state of art of the situation in Europe
The present geopolitical situation in Europe is characterized by the conflicts in Kosovo/Serbia and Ukraine/Russia, as also the geopolitical strategy of Turkey poses new challenges to Western democracies. Neither the European Union nor the American administration seems to be unprepared and sometimes unwilling to address the issues at stake.
Raffaele Petroni interviews Sergei Oudman, President of CIRIS.

Refugees and Migrants: the approach of the international community and the implications for states
International and humanitarian crises pose important challenges to the international community, organisations, and states. The issue of refugees and migrants has become a more and more pressing concern, leading to extensive debates within civil societies, political parties, and media establishments. The definition and use of proper terms becomes therefore imperative to avoid mistakenly considering all situations as the same.

CIRIS Podcast; Guest: Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, Leader of the Parti Québécois
The Quebec independence movement has been part of the Canadian political landscape since the 1960s, notably with the founding of the Parti Québécois (PQ). The movement was particularly strong from the 1970s to the 1990s, with the holding of two referendums on Quebec independence under PQ governments. While sovereigntists were defeated on both occasions, the results of the 1995 referendum were particularly tight with 49.42% of Quebec voters who voted in favor of separation from Canada. Since then, however, the movement has been on the decline. In 2018, the PQ obtained only 17% of the popular vote and won 10 seats out of 125 in the Quebec National Assembly. Polls across the province over the past two decades have shown voters are moving away from this issue, especially among young people. Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, PQ leader since October 2020, hopes to turn the tide. The 44- years-old leader intends to revitalize the Quebec independence movement in the years to come. In this podcast episode, we discuss the topics of Quebec independence and the 2021 Canadian federal election.
