How China and Russia Could Join Forces Against the European Union
From the Executive Summary: "[1] Once bitter adversaries, Russia and China continue to strengthen their relations. A Russia-China 'alliance' could directly affect and threaten the European Union's global agenda, its political, economic and social interests, and the functioning of the Union as a whole and its Member States. The Russian and Chinese approaches to international relations, trade practices, and norms of international and internal behaviour differ significantly from the EU's. [2] Both Russia and China benefit from cooperation with the EU, mostly in the economic domain, and in that sense are not interested in the EU's collapse. However, the two countries also pursue a number of policies detrimental to the EU's interests, security, and welfare to strengthen their global positions and demonstrate they can set the agenda."

Pandemic Compendium: Reactions of States to COVID-19
From the Introduction: "The current pandemic is such a new phenomenon in international relations that little can yet be said about its consequences. Its novelty and scale raise the importance of basic research: compiling information about events, and the reactions and decisions of affected states. In the course of such work at the Polish Institute of International Affairs, we have prepared concise notes about almost 30 countries and regions, which we present as a 'Pandemic compendium'. Each note contains information about the spread of the pandemic in a given country (including data on morbidity and mortality), decisions of governments in the political, economic and social spheres, and a preliminary assessment of the effectiveness of actions taken to flatten the curve. Whenever such an assessment could not be formulated, we have presented the public's reaction to the decisions taken by authorities. We have also tried to estimate how restrictive these actions are and the extent to which they violate civil liberties. The added value of these notes lies in the fact that, although we do not provide footnotes to the facts cited (in most cases this would increase the volume of the text twofold), the data derive from reliable, verified sources."
