David Cameron's European Challenge

By James LeGrice of Insight Public Affairs

David Cameron is about to embark on what will likely be the greatest challenge of
his premiership. This Thursday at a summit in Brussels, he will formerly outline
 to European leaders his demands for a reformed European Union. He hopes that by
 securing these reforms, Britons will vote to remain in the EU when given the option
in a referendum that could take place next year. However, Mr. Cameron's demands 
present considerable obstacles in the form of EU treaty changes and the prevailing
attitudes of prominent European leaders. Even if all runs according to plan, Britain's
"Europe" question could still remain unanswered after the referendum's results are
counted.

Mexican Mid-Term Election Update

Earlier this month almost 55 million Mexicans (47% of the population) voted in a
 mid-term election which was widely perceived as a referendum on President Peña 
Nieto's mandate thus far.  All 500 members of the lower house in Congress, nine 
governors, and numerous mayors and state legislatures were up for election.  Though
the formal distribution of seats is expected at the end of this month, the majority
of the results are available.  President Enrique Peña Nieto's party, the PRI (Partido
Revolucionario Institucional), was able to maintain its majority in the lower house
and gained nine seats (260/500 seats).  The PRI's alliances with the Green Party
 and the New Alliance Party are partially responsible for this win which surprised
some analysts because the President's popularity is currently at an all-time low.

Enlarge NATO: A Message from the Wroclaw Global Forum

This year's Wroclaw Global Forum brought together policy makers and business leaders
from Europe and the United States to discuss, Shaping the Policy and Business Agenda
for a New Europe. During the three-day event, many of the speakers focused on challenges
to Europe's security including ISIS, the immigration crisis in the Mediterranean,
and Russian aggression. Leaders from both sides of the Atlantic acknowledged that
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is best situated to address these 
emerging challenges; however, to be most effective NATO must engage in a series 
of institutional changes beginning with enlargement.

Turkey Election Update

Earlier this month Turkey held an election for all 550 seats in the Turkish Parliament.
 The election was widely viewed as a referendum on President Tayyip Erdogan's administration,
particularly since the President has been seeking a constitutional amendment to 
transition Turkey from a parliamentary to a presidentialist system, which would 
grant him more power.  The Turkish electorate; however, voted against President 
Erdogan's growing autocratic tendencies and his party, the Justice and Development
Party (AKP), lost the majority which it had held for thirteen years in the Turkish
Parliament.
