Polis Paper N° 25 – Brücken zwischen IST und SOLL – Kritik und Empfehlungen für Deutschlands Digitalstrategie aus feministisch-intersektionaler Perspektive

Im August 2022 veröffentlichte die deutsche Bundesregierung ihre ressortübergreifende Digitalstrategie mit dem Versprechen, Ungerechtigkeiten im digitalen Zeitalter anzugehen. Ein Jahr später fehlt es an konkreten Fortschritten, die festgehaltenen Maßnahmen bleiben unzureichend. Wie können wir die digitale Zukunft gerechter und nachhaltiger gestalten? Dieses Paper betrachtet die Strategie aus einer feministisch-intersektionalen Perspektive, identifiziert die inhaltlichen Schwächen und … Weiterlesen …

Polis Paper N° 23 – Below its potential – Navigating the complexity of Feminist Foreign Policy

By Sophie Domres & Lena Wittenfeld 10.10.2023 While Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP) as a normative foreign policy approach gains global traction, its application often remains superficial, leading to varied interpretations, limited impact and various tensions. This paper comprehensively unveils the discourses surrounding FFP, highlighting its (in)consistent yet transformative potential. We initially argue that FFP’s shift … Weiterlesen …

Polis Paper N°16 | Refugees of Second Class: Ukrainian Roma in Hungary and Moldova

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, European leaders and civil society have shown an immense solidarity towards the people of Ukraine and in particular the refugees that were forced to flee to the neighbouring countries and the EU. However, this solidarity does not extend to Ukrainian Roma refugees, who face severe discrimination, segregation, and rejection. Moldova and Hungary are two of the most important transit countries for refugees on the way to Western Europe. As their authorities, government officials and civil society are publicly reinforcing harmful stereotypes about Roma, crossing the borders, asking for asylum, or accessing decent living conditions in refugee centres has become harder than ever.

Polis Paper N° 12 | Rhetorics of the crisis

Take a look at the foreign policy rhetoric during the coronavirus pandemic: Fourteen Polis180-members examined government narratives closely related to COVID-19. They analyse positions of twelve countries on five continents. This paper shows how political communication works in the age of Twitter and how the pandemic offers a platform for governments to express their ambitions for regional and global influence.

Polis Paper N° 11 | What’s next for Europe?

We do like – some of us even love – Europe, the EU or the european idea. But the EU we live in is not flawless. In the weeks following the election of the European Parliament, we asked Polis180 members what they think should be improved in the EU. Four topics emerged as policy areas where change needs to be brought on the way: institutional design and cultural policy, climate, digitalisation and security & defence.

POLIS PAPER #8 | Wer Gender negiert, riskiert Straflosigkeit. Sexualisierte Gewalt im Kontext von UN-Friedensmissionen

POLIS PAPER #8
Wer Gender negiert, riskiert Straflosigkeit. Sexualisierte Gewalt im Kontext von UN-Friedensmissionen

von Lisa Müller-Dormann, Leonie Hopgood & Michelle Ammann

In Konfliktregionen werden existierende Ungleichheiten zwischen den Geschlechtern verstärkt und Frauen* sind häufiger von sexualisierter Gewalt betroffen – nicht nur durch Konfliktparteien, sondern im schlimmsten Fall auch durch Soldat*innen und zivile Schutzbeauftragte der UN. Trotz guter Ansätze kommen die Autorinnen zu dem Ergebnis, dass der momentane Fokus der Strategie auf individuelle Verantwortung und Strafverfolgung nicht ausreichend ist. Für die Umsetzung struktureller Reformen muss die Bekämpfung der Ungleichheiten zwischen den Geschlechtern, basierend auf gesellschaftlich konstruierten Ideen von Geschlechterrollen und insbesondere von Maskulinitäten, Hauptbestandteil der Strategie werden.

#GEOEUvalues Policy Paper | Normative Power vs. Democratic Backsliding

Since the end of the Cold War the EU has increasingly built its relations towards enlargement and neighboring states on values such as democracy and the rule of law. Those values are now, however, more and more under attack within the EU. Our paper examines how illiberal developments within the EU might affect the EU’s normative power and could also directly impact on its neighbors.

POLIS PAPER #6 | Quo Vadis, Migrationspolitik – Die Wahlprogramme deutscher Parteien unter der Lupe!

Die Migrationspolitik muss sich auf nationaler und europäischer Ebene neu ausrichten. Was die etablierten Parteien in ihren Wahlprogrammen 2017 fordern, ist dabei nicht immer ausreichend. In diesem Polis Paper bilden daher fünf Themenkapitel (Kapitel 2-6) die aktuelle Debatte ab und geben evidenzbasierte Vorschläge, wie moderne Migrationspolitik weitergedacht werden kann.

POLIS PAPER #4 | Economic Uncertainties and Attitudes Towards the EU: The Limits of Youth Optimism

In Polis Paper #4, Kris Best and Tori Dykes find that young Europeans are more pessimistic about their household financial situation, while both old and young Europeans seem to be equally concerned about their job security. However, European youth display higher levels of support for the EU across all levels of financial security, while financially insecure older Europeans tend to hold particularly negative opinions of the EU. If the pessimistic economic predictions among youth are realised, this could mean that today’s economically insecure youth are on track to become tomorrow’s disillusioned and eurosceptic over-30s.

POLIS PAPER #5 | Europäische Verteidigung – En Marche!

Die AutorInnen des Polis Paper #5 argumentieren: Die Zeit ist reif für einen großen Wurf in der europäischen Verteidigung! Die EU muss auf die geopolitischen Krisen in ihrer Peripherie adäquat reagieren können und den bröckelnden Zusammenhalt in der NATO kompensieren. Für die EU ist daher die Emanzipation hin zu einem eigenständigen Sicherheitsakteur und die proaktive Etablierung von Handlungsfähigkeit von elementarer Bedeutung.
