IRAQ IN TRANSITION Post-conflict challenges and opportunities A joint publication of the Open Society Institute and the United Nations Foundation The Open Society Institute (OSI), a private operating and grantmaking foundation based in New York City, implements a range of initiatives to promote open society by advocating for changes in government policy and supporting education, media, public health, and human and women's rights, as well as social, legal, and economic reform. This publication is a co-product of OSI's Cooperative Global Engagement Project and its Iraq Revenue Watch. The Cooperative Global Engagement Project is building a broad-based coalition of support for a U.S. foreign policy based on a collaborative approach to problem solving with the international community. The initiative aims to shift popular discourse in order to prompt U.S. policymakers and other Americans to make foreign policy decisions in the context of U.S. citizenship in a global community. Iraq Revenue Watch monitors Iraq’s oil industry to ensure that it is managed with the highest standards of transparency and that the benefits of national oil wealth flow to the people of Iraq. Iraq Revenue Watch complements existing Open Society Institute initiatives that monitor revenues produced by the extractive industries. Iraq Revenue Watch is a program of the Middle East and North Africa Initiatives of the Open Society Institute, which is a largely grantmaking program that develops OSI’s activities in the MENA region. Its grantmaking program supports efforts on behalf of women’s rights, human rights and freedom expression, arts and culture. Created in 1998 with a $1 billion gift from entrepreneur and philanthropist Ted Turner, the United Nations Foundation enables others to support United Nations causes and activities. The UN Foundation is a public charity that builds and implements public-private partnerships in support of the UN's efforts to address the most pressing humanitarian, socioeconomic, and environmental challenges facing the world today. The UN Foundation also broadens support for the UN and global cooperation through advocacy and public outreach.

    2017 Spain Country Report | SGI Sustainable Governance Indicators

    Spain Report Ignacio Molina, Oriol Homs, César Colino (Coordinator) Sustainable Governance Indicators 2017 G etty Im ages/iStockphoto/ZC Liu Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators SGI 2017 | 2 Spain Report Executive Summary After several years of recession, social unrest has eroded legitimacy and public trust in Spain’s political system. The shift from a traditional two-party into a multiparty system is a notable result of these developments. In addition to the traditional parties such as the Popular Party (PP) and the Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE), this multiparty system now includes the leftist anti- establishment party Podemos and the liberal progressive Ciudadanos (C’s). An inconclusive election in late 2015 led to another inconclusive election only six months later, resulting in a state of impasse under a caretaker government that had neither the willingness nor the legitimacy to pursue reforms. Nevertheless, policy outcomes in most economic domains continued to bear the fruits of economic reforms previously implemented. At the same time, however, centrifugal tensions in Catalonia remained strong. Spain’s economic recovery continued through 2016, showing 3.2% growth, the same figure as the previous year. This figure was much higher than other large euro zone economies (e.g., Germany reached 1.8% and Italy 0.9% in 2016) and the euro zone as a whole (1.8%). Spain was hit hard by a deep double-dip recession (2008 – 2013), but adjusted more quickly than expected after implementing a radical austerity program and some structural reforms (e.g., labor-market reforms, monitoring public finances, banking-sector recapitalization). Exports, foreign investment and domestic demand fueled this growth, along with a productivity increase following a painful process of internal devaluation.

    Wanting, Not Waiting

    WINNERSdateline OF THE OVERSEAS PRESS CLUB AWARDS 2011 Wanting, Not Waiting 2012 Another Year of Uprisings SPECIAL EDITION dateline 2012 1 letter from the president ne year ago, at our last OPC Awards gala, paying tribute to two of our most courageous fallen heroes, I hardly imagined that I would be standing in the same position again with the identical burden. While last year, we faced the sad task of recognizing the lives and careers of two Oincomparable photographers, Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros, this year our attention turns to two writers — The New York Times’ Anthony Shadid and Marie Colvin of The Sunday Times of London. While our focus then was on the horrors of Gadhafi’s Libya, it is now the Syria of Bashar al- Assad. All four of these giants of our profession gave their lives in the service of an ideal and a mission that we consider so vital to our way of life — a full, complete and objective understanding of a world that is so all too often contemptuous or ignorant of these values. Theirs are the same talents and accomplishments to which we pay tribute in each of our awards tonight — and that the Overseas Press Club represents every day throughout the year. For our mission, like theirs, does not stop as we file from this room. The OPC has moved resolutely into the digital age but our winners and their skills remain grounded in the most fundamental tenets expressed through words and pictures — unwavering objectivity, unceasing curiosity, vivid story- telling, thought-provoking commentary.

    Election in Greece

    CRS INSIGHT Election in Greece September 14, 2015 (IN10356) | | Paul Belkin, Analyst in European Affairs ([email protected], 7-0220) Fourth Election in Three Years Reflects Ongoing Political Instability Greece will hold a snap legislative election on September 20, only eight months after the country's last election. The new election comes as Greece continues to struggle with the negative repercussions of a sovereign debt and financial crisis that began in 2009. Over the past six years, Greece's economy has contracted by 25% and unemployment has tripled to above 25%. Economic challenges have in turn shaken the political system. This will be Greece's fourth parliamentary election since May 2012. Since 2009, the country has had six different governments (including two caretaker governments). Each has struggled—and three have collapsed—in the face of growing public and political pressure to halt the spending cuts, tax increases, and economic reforms that have been implemented in exchange for financial assistance from other European governments and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). For more information on the Greek debt crisis and the European response, see CRS Report R41167, Greece's Debt Crisis: Overview, Policy Responses, and Implications; and CRS Insight IN10303, Crisis in Greece: Political Implications. Why the Snap Election? Incumbent Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras took office in January 2015 following a campaign in which his far-left Syriza party pledged to reverse austerity measures and secure debt relief from creditors, but remain in the European Union's (EU) common currency, the Eurozone. This position ultimately proved untenable—Greece's creditors insisted that the government continue fiscal and structural reforms in exchange for the financial assistance Greece needed to stay in the Eurozone.

NATIONAL DRUG ENFORCEMENT POLICY BOARD Federal Drug Enforcement Progress Report 1984 - 1985 March 1986 PREFACE This report is submitted to Congress pursuant to the National Narcotics Act of 1984. As Chairman of the National Drug Enforcement Policy Board, the Attorney General is required to submit biannual reports to Congress. On July 9, 1985, the Policy Board forwarded its first report, which described the Board's law enforcement policies and strategies. Beginning with this second report, the Board must give to Congress "a full and complete report reflecting accomplishments ...." Even though the Policy Board was not created until the middle of fiscal year 1985, this report describes accomplishments in drug enforcement during fiscal years 1984 and 1985. Although this report focuses primarily on law enforcement efforts to reduce the supply of drugs in the United States, the Policy Board recognizes the importance of efforts to reduce the demand for drugs. A major section of this report describes the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) Program. Annual reports of the OCDETF Program were prepared for calendar years 1983 and 1984. The Policy Board has decided to consolidate reporting on 1985 OCDETF accomplishments within this report. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface ..................................................... i List of Tables and Figures .................................. iii Introduction .................................................
