Präsidentenwahl in Rumänien

Erdrutschsieg für Amtsinhaber Klaus Iohannis

In Rumänien hat Klaus Iohannis die zweite Runde der Präsidentenwahl mit einem Erdrutschsieg gewonnen. Er erhielt 66 Prozent der Stimmen. Auf seine Gegenkandidatin, die Vorsitzende der Sozialdemokratischen Partei (PSD) und frühere Premierministerin, Viorica Dancila, entfielen 34 Prozent der Wählerstimmen. Präsident Iohannis war als Kandidat der Nationalliberalen Partei (PNL) angetreten, deren Vorsitzender Ludovic Orban nach einem Misstrauensvotum gegen die damalige Regierungschefin Dancila seit drei Wochen auch Premierminister einer Minderheitsregierung ist. Der hohe Wahlsieg verschafft Iohannis ein klares Mandat für die zweite Amtszeit und stärkt damit zunächst auch die von ihm neu berufene Regierung Orban.

Internet Governance: Past, Present and Future

There are two key challenges that are posing a threat to the free and open model of the Internet. First, states such as Russia and China are challenging the multistakeholder model of Internet governance. Second, the free and open Internet that is built upon the idea of largely uninhibited information flows is being threatened by efforts to control and limit the types of information accessible to users. The aim of this study is to present these challenges and their potential impact on the future of Internet governance.

Politischer Showdown in Kambodscha

Oppositionsführer Sam Rainsy bleibt vorerst im Exil

Das Datum für den finalen Showdown von Sam Rainsy wurde rechtzeitig festgelegt. Der im Pariser Exil lebende Oppositionsführer kündigte seine Rückkehr nach Kambodscha für den 9. November 2019 an. Ob der 30. Jahrestag des Falls der Berliner Mauer zufällig oder bewusst gewählt wurde, sei dahingestellt. Wohl aber wünschte sich Sam Rainsy ähnlich euphorische Bilder und Menschenmassen 30 Jahre später auf den Straßen Phnom Penhs wie damals in Berlin. Warum es anders kam und was dies für Sam Rainsys politische Karriere und die Politik Kambodschas bedeutet, erklärt dieser Länderbericht.

III Macedonian-German Forum: The Assembly should play the key role in the negotiation process

Not receiving the date for the start of the negotiations with the European Union is a disappointment both for the citizens of North Macedonia and for many in Europe. This should not discourage the country, but, to the contrary, should incite it to continue with the reforms and, in that way, to reassure the sceptics. The Assembly should play the key role in the negotiation process, and should have control over the process. This was the conclusion of the III. Macedonian-German Forum: “Enlargement Prospects after the European Council? Role of the Assembly in the EU Accession Process of North Macedonia and Relations with the European Parliament” that took place at Hilton Hotel in Skopje on 1 November 2019.

Time to grow up!

The Internet urgently needs a new order

At first, Tim Berners Lee’s work in 1989 was intended to simplify the exchange of research results at CERN. In the end, the result of his efforts was crucial for changing the world. After all he developed the basis for a free exchange of information in which today people all over the world can participate in. But Tim Berners Lee is more than just the inventor of the World Wide Web. He is also one of the founding fathers of the idea of a free and open Internet. While the Internet has established itself as the central social medium, his original ideal of a free internet is in danger more than ever before.[1] In order to unfold the liberal and economic potential it is offering, a new or at least a further developed order is needed. One, that must also be defended against competing illiberal approaches.
