International Order & Democracy

The global order is constantly changing. These changes are driven by developments in the tech sector, as well as shifts in economic, political, military, and demographic power. The US is calling established systems into question. Non-western – and in some cases authoritarian – states are increasingly influencing regional and international structures.

International order and democracy is one of DGAP’s core themes. Through it, DGAP helps answer questions about how Germany and Europe can shape regional and international aspects of the evolving global order in the policy realm. We explore options in the areas of sustainability and climate, digitalization and technology, finance, and the regulation of outer space, as well as which policies will be most effective in strengthening democracy and human rights on a regional and international level.

Orbán or Not Orbán

Hungary Faces a Binary Choice in Its Parliamentary Elections

On October 17, the usually fragmented Hungarian opposition elected a joint candidate for prime minister – the first step in its bid to defeat Fidesz, the ruling party of Viktor Orbán. By uniting behind Péter Márki-Zay, as well as other joint candidates for the April 2022 parliamentary elections, the opposition parties are turning the vote into a binary choice. The election could go either way, but one thing is certain: the EU will have to deal with the result of a much tougher and more polarized electoral race than ever before.

Außenpolitische Perspektiven nach der Bundestagswahl

„Wir werden die deutsche Außenpolitik viel mehr erklären müssen“

„Wir müssen Deutschlands Politik im Ausland künftig viel mehr erklären – und Deutschlands Rolle in der Welt auch in unserer eigenen Gesellschaft viel mehr diskutieren“ – dieses Fazit zog sich am Montagmorgen wie ein roter Faden durch die Gespräche beim DGAP Early Bird zur Bundestagswahl. Über 160 Teilnehmer und Teilnehmerinnen nutzten die Gelegenheit, sich am Tag nach der Wahl von den DGAP-Experten und -Expertinnen eine erste Einschätzung der Wahlergebnisse abzuholen und die außenpolitischen Perspektiven einer möglichen Koalition von CDU/CSU, FDP und Grünen zu diskutieren.
