What does life under Russian occupation look like?

I collected stories of Ukrainians who lived through occupation in 2022-23 to understand Russia's occupation practice and its human cost. Taken together, these individual experiences show a grim reality👇

Hard to imagine daily life at @GPPi without the one and only Katharina Nachbar. But this is what we need to start preparing for.

@GPPi looks for new Communicator-in-Chief based in our Berlin office as of 1 Jan (or earlier).

Please spread the word.

The lost honor of Gerhard Schröder.

It's not just Kremlin connection. Same fatal interplay of ego, ideology & profit turned Schröder into an apologist of 🇨🇳party-state. One of many in 🇩🇪elite.

My congratulations on Schröder's 80th.

The 1st step toward better global governance: a pretty website?

Probably not. But big news: the ENSURED web hub is now live! 🎉

The website will house our research, policy briefs, blogs & events.

Already, there's a lot of exciting updates...

📽️ For global institutions to make better decisions, civil society needs a seat at the table, says ENSURED's Inés Pousadela (@CIVICUSalliance).

How can global governance do better at including civil society voices?

Some ideas 👇

📢 30 years after the atrocities, the study "German Foreign Policy and the Rwandan Genocide" is now available in 🇬🇧. @sarahbrockmeier & @antonpeez took a look at the archival records of the Foreign Ministry in 2021. Thanks to @GPPi for the cooperation. https://t.co/K8Dqty0CDn

30 years after the Rwandan genocide, questions about 🇩🇪’s decisions at the time remain.

In a newly translated study, GPPi fellow @sarahbrockmeier & @antonpeez draw on archival files to shed light on German policy in 1993/4 – and offer lessons for today.

When 🇷🇺’s war against 🇺🇦 eventually comes to an end, there will need to be a new order for peace in the region.

@ja_friedrich and other experts will discuss how that could look at this @Kelly_Stiftung event.

In ENSURED, we'll examine the state-of-play in 🌍 migration & human rights governance and offer action points for the future.

Why much of the German elite reaction to the one-sided focus of Berlinale speakers on Palestinian suffering was overblown & counterproductive (to put it mildly).
A few points for @alexmarshall81 @nytimes

Enjoyed comparing attempts to improve shared working in the UK and Germany.

In both cases: if political leaders decide that the only way to succeed is jointly and they agree that success really matters then joint working is successful. If not, it’s not.

[GPPi @GPPi]

For anyone in Prague (or online!) keen to learn about global governance, its challenges and the @ensured_eu consortium. 👇

[ENSURED @ensured_eu]

What are the key challenges to 🌍 governance? Where do great powers play a role? And how can we rethink int'l cooperation?

On March 5, join us for a roundtable with @CharlesUniPRG to find out!

🗣️: @claraweinhardt, @Dr_Faude, @parizek_m & @t_sommerer.

New project @REUNIR_Horizon @GPPi:
Anticipating authoritarian foreign influencing in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe and making EU foreign policy fit to respond. #forecasting #foresight #enlargement #neighborhood
https://t.co/rWuiJjK2W4

[GPPi @GPPi]

What if the US really abandons Ukraine – and Europe along with it?

Countries like 🇵🇱 and the Baltic states have ramped up their military spending, but @thorstenbenner tells @WSJ that unless 🇫🇷 and 🇩🇪 follow suit, fear will continue to spread.

[Julia Friedrich @ja_friedrich]

Exciting 2 days in Brussels kicking off @REUNIR_Horizon on making #EU's enlargement&eastern neighborhood policies fit for purpose in context of Russian & other threats.
Public discussion focuses on most urgent question: how to keep momentum for enlargement in a world in turmoil?
