Finding Common Grounds - Rediscovering the Common Narrative of Turkey and Europe

Details

Created on Thursday, 11 November 2010 20:28

The collection of essays offered in this volume contains some of the ideas that came out of the brainstorming and the long and insightful conversations that were held in various European cities. Whether it was in Bratislava, Budapest, Prague, Warsaw and of course Istanbul, the authors engaged in a process that could best be described as looking for a way out of the Turkey-EU drama. The authors could be compared to a very atypical group of passengers who found themselves in the same carriage of a train that was speeding towards a point where the track might end.

The Fight Against Terrorism: Global Challenge of the 21st Century

Details

Created on Thursday, 11 November 2010 20:16

The initial versions of nearly all contributions to this publication saw the light of the day during the international conference „The Fight Against Terrorism – Global Challenge of the 21st Century?“, organised by EUROPEUM Institute for European Policy in co-operation with the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, the British Embassy, the American Information Center, and held under the patronage of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic in September 2006 in Prague. This publication includes all conference contributions. They appear here in a number of different forms; keynote speeches are almost verbatim transcripts of what was said at the conference, some speakers made minimal follow-up changes to their contributions before publication, and others chose to turn them into articles (complete with references in footnotes).

Enlarged European Union and its Foreign Policy: Issues, Challenges, Perspectives

Details

Created on Thursday, 11 November 2010 20:08

This paper looks at the impact of new member states in the area of Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). It makes reflections on the track record of those states in the period since they joined the Union. However, it tries to look beyond that and sees what will be the likely path of their involvement in the domain of CFSP in the future, with reference to the EU’s “near neighbourhood”.
