The Impact of Populism on European Institutions and Civil Society
What is the impact of populism on the EU? How did the EU institutions and civil society react to the recent rise of populist parties? To answer such relevant questions and understand populism in terms of ideas, political outcomes, and social dynamics, academia needs to engage with institutional actors, civil society organizations, and policy makers. By bringing together academics, members of European institutions and agencies, and leaders of civil society organizations, this edited volume bridges the gap between research and practice. It explores how populism impacted on European institutions and civil society and investigates their reactions and strategies to overcome the challenges posed by populists. This collection is organized into three main sections, i.e., general European governance; European Parliament and Commission; European organized civil society. Overall, the volume unveils how the populist threat was perceived within the EU institutions and NGOs and discusses the strategies they devised to react and how these were implemented in institutional and public communication.
Im Auftrag der Freiheit
Was ist die Zukunft des Liberalismus in Europa – abseits rechtspopulistischer Missinterpretationen dieser wertvollen historischen Idee? Das Beispiel der NEOS in Österreich weist einen Weg, wie liberale Ideen von Gesellschaft und Individuum für die heutigen Herausforderungen erfolgreich in konkrete Politik umgesetzt werden können.

Eine abenteuerliche politische Reise der beiden durch Österreich, Slowenien und Europa begann, mit Höhe...

175 Jahre 1848
Das Jahr 1848 ist für die Geschichte Österreichs von zentraler Bedeutung. Trotz ihrer brutalen Niederschlagung wurden viele Ideen der "1848er" doch in den folgenden Jahrzehnten umgesetzt: Der Erlass von Verfassungsgesetzen, die Gleichberechtigung der Völker und Konfessionen, Schutzrechte der Bürger:innen gegenüber dem Staat, Parlamentarismus sowie ein öffentliches Schulwesen. Diese Errungenschaften wurden maßgeblich von liberalen Akteur:innen geprägt, weswegen 1848 auch für den österreichischen Liberalismus eine wichtige Wegmarke darstellt. In Beiträgen von Wissenschaftler:innen und Wegbegleiter:innen wird der Geschichte dieses Liberalismus seit 1848, sowie den Herausforderungen an den Liberalismus heute nachgegangen.
Letzter Weckruf für Europa
Mitte März 2020. Der Höhepunkt der Corona-Krise ist noch nicht erreicht, da gibt es für viele schon einen Schuldigen: die Europäische Union. Obwohl diese kaum gesundheitliche Kompetenzen hat, bedienen nationale Regierungschefs der radikalen rechten Lager Ressentiments gegen die EU. Das Virus trifft Europa in einer schwierigen Lage: Im Handelskrieg zwischen den USA und China schaut die EU hilflos zu, muss aber unter den Auswirkungen leiden. Für Donald Trump ist Europa kein Partner mehr, sondern ein Konkurrent auf dem Weltmarkt. Präsident Macron hält die NATO für "hirntot", im Nahen Osten ist die EU ein Beobachter und in ehemaligen Ostblock-Staaten wie Ungarn und Polen entstehen autoritäre Regime, die mit den Werten der EU nichts mehr zu tun haben wollen. Der Streit um das künftige Budget der EU eskaliert: Corona-Bonds, also gemeinsame Schulden, wollen die Südländer; Österreich und andere lehnen das ab. So mahnt uns das Virus, das friedliche Europa zu erhalten – auch um zu verhindern, dass in einer zerfallenden EU historische Konflikte aufbrechen.
