On 22 January 2013, Paris and Berlin will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Elysée Treaty. After a year 2012 marked in France by a political change, Germany enters in its turn in campaign. Can the jubilee lead to a new step of the Franco-German cooperation? The bilateral relationship seems to be facing several difficulties: about the crisis that concern the EU today and perhaps more broadly about the very conception of the future of Europe. In front of this new European order, does the Franco-German engine still work?

North Korea Beyond Nukes: Focusing on the Human Rights Challenge
Debates surrounding North Korea are primarily focused on security issues, particularly nuclear and ballistic concerns, relegating the critical situation of the North Korean population and human rights violations to the background. The lack of information about the real living conditions of North Koreans contributes to the absence of attention and discussion on this crucial issue.
