- Environment and Energy, Op-ed, Social and Economic Policy
- 02/06/2015
The failure of top-down technocratic climate policy to accelerate decarbonization of the economy has provoked environmentalists to experiment with the idea of divestment in fossil fuel corporations. However arousing excitement among the Left, good intentions don’t always make for good policy.

- Environment and Energy, Op-ed
- 21/10/2017
The eucalyptus – one of the most extended species in warm climate areas – is recently under the spotlight after a tough summer -and autumn- for firefighters in Southern Europe, especially in Portugal, since the tree species is considered to be more fire-prone. Is it time to replace them with local species, or to improve forest management in keeping the current plant masses?

Youth radicalization: the enemy within0
- International Relations and Global Affairs, Op-ed
- 23/01/2016
The rise in the number terrorist attacks carried out by nationals and citizens to their own states has brought to the fore the problem of youth radicalization. What is most striking is the changing profile of the terrorists who are perceived as intelligent individuals, mostly university students and graduates. There is therefore an urgent need for measures that reduce or altogether eliminate opportunities for youth radicalization. Security and community institutions need to be strengthened to provide deterrence and appropriate responses.

Women trafficking and the US’s worrisome silence1
- Human Rights and Migration, Op-ed
- 06/12/2016
“Trafficking? Here? In the United States?” I fear this would summarize the majority’s response. While human trafficking is well-known around the world, the United States is falling behind in awareness and lacks a unified approach towards its prevention.

Women in Tunisia: A democratic façade or a civil society’s struggle?0
In the last couple of years, women’s rights have improved in the Middle East and North African Region, especially in terms of freedom and participation.

In Tunisia, women have played a major role in the uprisings to stand for their rights, and then voted en masse in the elections of 2011 and 2014. However, the efforts put in the revolts only led to political promises, rather than reality.
