A Big Five csatahajói 08.

Héttenger - Wed, 24/09/2025 - 09:16

A Puget Sound hajógyárában megtartott tíznapos próbaüzemet követően az újjáépített Tennessee 1943 május 23-án futott ki ismét a tengerre, és indult útnak San Pedro felé. A csatahajó egy teljesen új legénységgel a fedélzetén kezdte meg új életét. A Tennessee régi embereiből alig néhányan kerültek vissza a hajóra, akik az elmúlt hónapokat különböző továbbképzéseken töltötték. A tengerészek zöme teljesen zöldfülű, frissen toborzott önkéntes volt, akik elég sok fejfájást okoztak a csatahajó kapitányának, Robert Stevenson Haggart-nak. A San Pedro felé vezető tíznapos úton a csatahajó riasztócsengői úgyszólván állandóan szóltak, Haggart éjjel-nappal, folyamatosan gyakorlatoztatta újdonsült tengerészeit, akik Pearl Harbor után bevonulva nemrég kerültek csak ki a haditengerészet gyorstalpaló kiképzéséről, és ott szerzett tengerésztudásuk szakmai értéke legalábbis kétes volt. Ennek megfelelően az első gyakorlatok rendszerint bohózatba illő felfordulásba és káoszba fulladtak. Mire azonban San Pedróba értek, az intenzív tréningnek köszönhetően már javult a helyzet. A Tennessee tengerészei kezdtek megismerkedni hajójukkal, és egyelőre még inkább csak elméleti tengerésztudásukat lassan már képesek voltak átültetni a gyakorlatba is.

A csatahajó május 31-én futott be San Pedróba, azonban nem időzött ott sokáig, mivel jelenlétére már szükség volt a hadszíntéren is. Egy tankolást és a készletek kiegészítését követően a hajó a Portland cirkáló kíséretében már következő nap, június elsején kifutott első harci bevetésének színhelye, Alaszka felé.

French-German development collaboration in MENA: options for humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) and triple nexus cooperation in Libya and Iraq

This study takes a critical look at Franco-German relations in the field of international cooperation along the entire humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) spectrum to better gauge the usefulness of bilateral collaborative action in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Both the corresponding potential – for example in the current Syrian transition – as well as existing coordination formats are of interest to the inquiry. The latter are examined in more detail against the background of German and French activities in Libya and Iraq. In this context, the analysis also considers the HDP nexus as an instrument of cooperation, which offers ideal conditions for application in fragile, conflict-prone (Libya) or war-torn countries (Iraq) due to their complex needs. The paper concludes with a series of recommendations for initiating or strengthening Franco-German cooperation in fragile states of the MENA region in the fields of humanitarian aid, development policy, and peacebuilding measures.
The study is divided into three thematic sections, the first of which examines bilateral relations between Paris and Berlin, with a focus on the phase following the signing of the Aachen Agreement in 2019. The analysis of national and international framework conditions for and against international cooperation is also part of this section, taking into account the effects of the Trump 2.0 administration. In the second part, the foreign and development policy approaches of both countries are analysed with a focus on their Middle East policies. Here, convergences and divergent approaches are of special interest, allowing conclusions to be drawn about the ability and willingness to cooperate. The third section is devoted to a synthesis of the operationalisation of activities within the HDP spectrum, with Libya and Iraq as country examples, as well as additional considerations relating to Syria.
On the one hand, this approach enables one to identify structural factors that either hinder or promote bilateral Franco-German cooperation in the international context. On the other hand, sufficient space is also given to current developments in order to be able to categorise trends and contextual factors which have a reinforcing or weakening effect on cooperation drivers. The Discussion Paper concludes with a recapitulation of the findings, and derives actionable recommendations for strengthening cooperation between Paris and Berlin in the crisis-ridden MENA region on the basis of HDP coordination.

Le « mur anti-drones » de l’UE pourrait être prêt dans un an, selon le commissaire à la défense

L’UE pourrait améliorer considérablement ses capacités de détection des drones d’ici un an, mais il faudra beaucoup plus de temps pour développer un réseau terrestre et maritime capable de suivre et de détruire des cibles, a déclaré Andrius Kubilius.

Promoting female employment in partner countries: priorities for development cooperation

Promoting female employment remains a pressing challenge in many low- and middle-income countries. Despite ongoing efforts, too few women participate in the labour force – particularly in regions such as the Middle East and South Asia – and too many remain locked out of more decent wage employment – especially in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Promoting women’s employment is not just about fairness; it is essential for inclusive and sustainable development. Women’s economic participation matters for four reasons: it fosters growth and reduces poverty by increasing household income, it enhances women’s autonomy in the household, it promotes equity and cohesion in societies, and it strengthens the resilience of households to shocks by diversifying income sources. Recent research has deepened under­standing of both the barriers and enablers of gender equality in labour markets, offering useful guidance for development cooperation.

Building on empirical research by IDOS, this policy brief highlights that development cooperation can take three key approaches to promote female employment:

  • Address foundational barriers: Development cooperation can work with local partners to remove the root barriers holding women back. This includes addressing restrictive gender norms in ways that respect cultural contexts, e.g. by investing in community-based care solutions (as successfully practised in several African cases) or better access to services and mobility. Projects should not only target women individually but also address constraints within households and communities and engage broader society. They must also challenge gendered labour market structures that limit women’s paths into wage work.
  • Strengthen gender equality on the opera­tional level: The green and digital transitions offer new employ­ment opportunities – but women risk being left behind. Development cooperation can help to ensure that women benefit from these shifts. In cooperation with national governments, it can embed gender targets into economic reforms, incentivise companies to adopt inclusive hiring practices and to implement flexible work time arrangements (such as in Jordan), and fund training for women to reskill and motivate them for these fields.
  • Create an enabling policy mix: Employment-focused reforms succeed when they connect with broader policy frameworks. Aligning employment initiatives with social policies – such as childcare support or public works – can boost women’s ability to work. At the same time, gender-sensitive approaches in areas like transport, finance and infrastructure can help overcome structural disadvantages that affect women at different stages of life.

In recent years, development cooperation has shifted from measures to support gender mainstreaming towards gender-transformative approaches that aim to reduce structural barriers. Recent funding cuts and public opinion that is becoming more critical of diversity and equity measures, mean that development cooperation must build on its experience to enable women to grasp economic opportunities and live a dignified life.
