This issue addresses a lion’s share of the most burning topics of the recent weeks. In May, think tanks focused on the Western Balkans, digital innovations, cybersecurity and new technologies including artificial intelligence, as well as on the current situation of immigrants and refugees worldwide. Populism also riveted the attention of a large number of the think tanks' researchers and analysts and generated a fair number of articles covering related issues included in the Review.

The issue's special focus is on the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for 2021-2027, following the presentation by the Commission of the proposal for the new long-term budget and resources for the European Union.

The Review can be downloaded from our blog. As always, feedback is welcome at [email protected].
