As some of you are soaking up the final rays of summer, it’s a busy rentrée here at Institut Montaigne. We are pleased to welcome you back to our selection of handpicked specials, which will now be shared with you bi-monthly. We just launched a new series, Ukraine Shifting the World Order, a collection of essays gathering mostly non-Western authors to discuss new geopolitical power plays. Russian, Emirati, Malaysian, and American voices open the debate. You will be able to discover our experts’ contributions every Tuesday and Thursday. In other news, we make sense of Iran’s revision of the EU-mediated nuclear pact proposal and consider how France can rethink its foreign strategy in light of Ukraine. Lastly, we invite you to take a look back at our Seeing Double series on political pairs, and its conclusive analysis on power sharing – a final French touch on France’s centralized system. Adjust your reading glasses and enjoy!
