Pascu, Ioan Mircea, and Nicolae-Sergiu Vintila. "Strengthening the Resilience of Political Institutions and Processes: A Framework of Analysis." Connections: The Quarterly Journal 19, no. 3 (2020): 55-66.

 

Democracy itself is under assault from foreign governments and internal threats, such that democratic institutions may not flourish unless social data science puts our existing knowledge and theories about politics, public opinion, and political communication to work. These threats are current and urgent, and, if not understood and addressed in an agile manner, will further undermine European democracies.[1]

Kerigan-Kyrou, Dinos. "2020 Transatlantic Security Jam: Resilience Going Forward." Connections: The Quarterly Journal 19, no. 3 (2020): 47-54.

The 2020 Security Jam, which took place in May, focused on non-traditional challenges. Interestingly, the solutions to these non-traditional challenges are also non-traditional. Many different innovative solutions were put forward.[1] One of the clearest messages to arise from the Jam was the need to develop systems, processes, and institutions to predict and prepare for future challenges.

Mouritz, Frank. "Implications of the COVID-19 Pandemic on China’s Belt and Road Initiative." Connections: The Quarterly Journal 19, no. 2 (2020): 115-124.
