Global Europe – Global Expectations
Today, we are experiencing that the European Union and its model of democratic societies are losing their worldwide popularity. The growing global influence of actors with values, political systems, and worldviews that are diametrically opposing to those of the EU, as well as the renaissance of geopolitical blocs (as evidenced by the abstention of some states in the UN in condemning Russia's war of aggression), further reinforce this trend. In the new era of geopolitics, characterized by strategic rivalry between authoritarian states on the one hand and liberal democracies on the other, these are alarming signs. In order to prevail against authoritarian regimes, the liberal model of EU democratic societies must regain its attractiveness in the world.

We need to talk
Before the first meeting with the in-laws or a new business partner, one piece of advice is often heard: better not talk politics. Otherwise the mood can quickly turn icy. It's a shame, because politics determines everything: how we work, what we eat or how we reside. But instead of talking about climate policy, we prefer to talk about the weather. Instead of discussing the performance of our political leaders, we gossip about celebrities.
