Digital sovereignty for growth, rules and cooperation

Fostering Europe’s Strategic Autonomy

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.

Digitalisation, Trade, and Geopolitics in Asia

The papers in this volume “Digitalisation, Trade, and Geopolitics in Asia”, published by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung’s (KAS) regional program, Regional Economic Programme Asia (SOPAS), investigates how digitalisation is changing our understanding of trade and the international economy. It assesses the impact of digitalization to production, consumption, and trading patterns as well as national and multilateral regulatory frameworks (including those agreed in regional free trade agreements). It also looks at the evolving roles and configurations of economic actors (e.g. WTO, multinational corporations, digital platforms) and provides a discussion on the issues involving e-commerce and new technologies (i.e., block chain).

Regional- und Lokalwahlen in Namibia – Verschiebung der etablierten Machtverhältnisse?

Ende November fanden in Namibia Regional- und Lokalwahlen statt. Konnte die regierende „South West African People’s Organisation“ (SWAPO) die vergangene Wahlrunde im Jahr 2015 noch eindeutig für sich entscheiden, verlor die Partei, die seit der Unabhängigkeit durchgehend die Regierung stellt, erstmals vier Regionen an die Opposition und verlor 40% der abgegebenen Stimmen. Nach der Parlaments- und Präsidentschaftswahl 2019 ist dies nun bereits die zweite Wahl, bei der die SWAPO massiv an Zustimmung eingebüßt hat. Dies macht deutlich, dass es einen zunehmend großen Wunsch nach Veränderung im Land gibt.
