Moldova’s Presidential Elections and EU Referendum: A Critical Moment

On October 20, Moldovans will vote in both presidential elections and a constitutional referendum on EU integration. These elections are critical as they will set the stage for the 2025 parliamentary elections and indicate the level of support for President Maia Sandu and her liberal, pro-EU Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS). The outcome will also reflect public opinion on Moldova’s EU integration efforts, which have been central to Sandu's agenda. Despite achievements in governance, the PAS government faces criticism for falling short of building social cohesion and delivering all promised reforms. The EU can support Moldova by focusing on economic development and stability, job creation, enhancing administrative capacity, and supporting Moldova’s resilience against Russian hybrid threats.

Verteidigung und Abschreckung: Zwei Seiten derselben Medaille

Die NATO befindet sich in einem tiefgreifenden Anpassungsprozess an die internationale Sicherheitslage. Wesentlicher Bestandteil dieses Prozesses ist die Stärkung der konventionellen Verteidigungsfähigkeit, nicht zuletzt im Osten des Bündnisgebietes. Auch die nukleare Abschreckung erfährt in gewisser Weise eine Renaissance. Abschreckung umfasst jedoch nicht nur eine nukleare Dimension, sondern gerade auch die konventionelle Verteidigungsfähigkeit. Der Workshop möchte diesen Zusammenhang näher beleuchten und Handlungsempfehlungen für die deutsche Politik im Bündnis entwickeln.

Germany’s Role in the World

A Presentation of the Pew Research Center's poll of public opinion and foreign policy in Europe

European partners disagree about how to respond to Europe’s current political challenges, to say nothing of the challenges facing its neighboring countries. The Pew Research Center’s newly published survey “Europeans Face the Word Divided” gives insight into how divided European citizens are in their views concerning the role of their governments and the European Union in the world. A few days before the Brexit referendum, Bruce Stokes gave an exclusive presentation of the report at the DGAP.
