The Navigator’s July issue — out now

31 July 2026

The July edition of THE NAVIGATOR is now available, delivering in-depth analysis, up-to-date information, and a comprehensive look at the Indo-Pacific region.

This month, we examine EU engagement with the Taliban, where Chris Fitzgerald argues that efforts to curb irregular migration risk undermining the bloc's longstanding commitment to human rights and international law. As Europe weighs strategic pragmatism against its normative identity, Fitzgerald asks what is sacrificed when geopolitical priorities take precedence over democratic values.

In addition, our regional review explores an Indo-Pacific where intensifying great-power competition, economic pressures, and climate shocks are eroding public trust and pushing governments to prioritise resilience through technology, energy security, and institutional adaptation.

Join our briefing and stay ahead of the curve.
