Marking the publication of the Summer 2015 (No. 4) issue of the journal Horizons – Journal of International Relations and Sustainable Development with the dossier "The Return of China".
« Chinese socio-economic transformation has caused much domestic commotion. It has also been met with anxiety by some other centers of power, including those in China’s neighborhood. Beijing has sought to adress these issues by adopting a « new normal » growth model at home, whilst launching grand international initiatives such as the « One Belt, One Road » and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. The fate of these endeavours will decisively bear upon the strategic trajectory of Asia and beyond », in Horizons, n°4, 2015

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.
