After a longer period of irrelevance, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) has since 2014 made its way back into the international spotlight. In the Ukraine crisis, the Organization played an important conflict management role between Russia and the West, with innovative ideas and instruments. But the insecure and unstable environment in Europe’s immediate neighbourhood still presents the OSCE with a major challenge that can only be met by a policy of small steps. What these steps should look like and what Germany's contribution during its OSCE Chairmanship in 2016 could be is analyzed by Dr. Christian Nünlist from ETH Zurich in our latest Global Governance Spotlight.
