Europa innerhalb der eigenen Grenzen erbauen

Die im Jahr 2011 initiierte Europäische Nachbarschaftspolitik ist ein Programm der Europäischen Union. Ihr strategisches Ziel ist, die Beziehungen der EU zu ihren östlichen und südlichen Nachbarn zu verbessern. Unter dem Namen „Östliche Partnerschaft“ bemüht sich die EU, sowohl neue Verbindungen (…)

Rückgabe gestohlener Kunstwerke : was passiert, wenn wir die europäische Kulturpolitik neu definieren würden ?

Seit Jahrzehnten fordern Staaten die Rückgabe gestohlener Kunstwerke : Griechenland und Nigeria stellen Forderungen an das British Museum, Ägypten an das Louvre, Benin an das Quai Branly.... Die Leihgabe von Kunstwerken ist kein neues Phänomen. Teils waren es sogar Leihgaben, die einige Werke zu (…)

Zwracanie skradzionych dzieł sztuki : a gdybyśmy tak przedefiniowali europejską politykę kulturalną ?

Przez dekady, niektóre z krajów upominały się o zwrot skradzionych dzieł sztuki : Grecja i Nigeria z British Museum, Egipt z Luwru, Benin z muzeum Quai Branly w Paryżu, żeby tylko wymienić kilka z nich.

The underlying purpose of this partnership is to avoid new fractures across the continent, divided between the East and the West. However, the 2014 Ukrainian crisis and the EU’s subsequent and increasing mistrust of Russia presents the partnership with a mixed record.

What does this project consist of, and what are the interests of the EU in this complex geopolitical sphere ? Far from the Eurocentrism of Brussels, this neighbourhood policy could demonstrate that Europe’s main challenges lie within its borders. Nezim Tandjaoui from Eurosorbonne discusses the EU’s Eastern Partnership.

Populists : what challenge for Europe ?

“Populism” : this word is perhaps the most emblematic one of the contemporary political world. If this phenomenon is not new, it has unexpectedly been on the rise for a few years in Europe. Often excessively repeated and pejoratively connoted, its definition is still difficult to understand for many citizens. Is it negative to be populist ? How do we recognise a populist speech ? Why is this phenomenon a crucial issue for the next European elections ?
