Fostering Europe’s Strategic Autonomy

A question of purpose and action

This paper is part of the joint EPC-KAS project on “Fostering Europe’s strategic autonomy: priorities for action” that runs throughout 2020 and aims to outline a concrete agenda to strengthen Europe’s role in the world and its sovereignty. In an increasingly competitive and volatile international environment, Europe needs a stronger power base to uphold its values and interests, confront challenges, engage with partners, and support rules-based cooperation. To attain these goals, the European Union needs to become a more strategic and autonomous actor on the global stage. Pursuing strategic autonomy is ultimately about empowering Europeans to take and implement decisions to advance their priorities in cooperation with others, where possible, and on their own, if needed. This is essential to reinforce European sovereignty – Europe’s ability to shape its future. Progress towards strategic autonomy requires concerted action across various domains, including Europe’s economic power base, technology and innovation and security and defence. This project encompasses activities targeting each of these areas, with a view to defining priorities for action for Europe in a challenging global context.

Kommunalwahlen beenden 12 Jahre Auszeit der Demokratie im herzegowinischen Mostar

Hoffnung für die sechstgrößte Stadt in Bosnien und Herzegowina

Am 15. November konnten die Menschen in den Städten und Gemeinden in Bosnien und Herzegowina ihr demokratisches Wahlrecht wahrnehmen. Nicht jedoch in der bekannten Stadt Mostar. Dies war jedoch kein neues Ereignis, da die Bürger der größten Stadt der Herzegowina seit 2008 keine Gelegenheit mehr hatten, über ihre lokalen Vertreter abzustimmen. Aufgrund von Meinungsverschiedenheiten zwischen den größten Parteien in Mostar, HDZ BiH und SDA, konnte keine Wahlvereinbarung getroffen werden. Dieses Problem verwehrte den Bürgern von Mostar das Praktizieren ihrer vollen demokratischen Rechte für 12 Jahre. Am 20. Dezember 2020 fanden nun endlich Kommunalwahlen statt. Gerichtsurteile und der Druck der internationalen Gemeinschaft ermöglichten das Ende der Auszeit der Demokratie in Mostar.
