FES Regional Office for International Cooperation in Vienna
FES Democracy of the Future
The work of the FES Democracy of the Future office is currently based on two topical pillars: Democracy & Society and Democracy & Economy. In collaboration with different researchers, we try to explore and find answers to the following key questions:
- How dangerous is social and political polarisation for democracy?
- What political instruments are available to take the edge off political division?
- What role could citizens’ assemblies play?
- How exactly do economic inequalities affect the democratic system?
- What effective strategies are there to work against autocratic models?
- What can a democracy of the future that meets the demands of the people look like?
FES Peace & Security
The goal of the FES Peace & Security office in Vienna is to come to terms with the challenges of peace and security in Europe since the collapse of the Soviet Union a quarter of a century ago. These issues should be discussed primarily with the countries of Eastern Europe – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine – and with Russia, as well as with the countries of the EU and with the US. We support the following activities:
- Regional and international meetings for developing new concepts on cooperation and peace in Europe
- A regional network of young professionals in the field of cooperation and peace in Europe
- Cooperation with the OSCE in the three dimensions, the politico-military, the economic and the human.
