  • The Bucerius Summer School on Global Governance
    THE BUCERIUS SUMMER SCHOOL ON GLOBAL GOVERNANCE Globalization and Fragmentation: The Future International Landscape A two-week seminar of the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius, Hamburg in cooperation with the Heinz Nixdorf Stiftung, Essen Dean and Moderator: Theo Sommer, Editor-at-Large, DIE ZEIT, Hamburg THE BUCERIUS SUMMER SCHOOL ON GLOBAL GOVERNANCE Globalization and Fragmentation: The Future International Landscape From August 2 to September 7, 2008, the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius, in cooperation with the Heinz Nixdorf Stiftung, holds its eighth annual Bucerius Summer School on Global Governance. The original idea to create such an institution harked back to Henry Kissinger’s famous International Summer Seminar at Harvard University. In the 1960s, Kissinger brought together emerging leaders from all over the world for a summer course of debates and lectures. Many of the seminar’s alumni went on to become ministers, renowned academics, prominent journalists – leaders in their respective fields. Out of this year’s 27 candidates – nominated by government heads, company CEO’s, university presidents, media leaders and directors of international organizations – we have invited 60 pro- mising business representatives, politicians and academics from 28 different countries – young women and men between 28 and 35 years of age who have already acquired considerable profes- sional experience. The overall aim of the Bucerius Summer School is to foster leadership qualities in young professionals by involving them in an international dialogue on current political, economic, social and juridical questions. Participants are inspired by – and learn from – distinguished speakers, well-known public figures in poli- tics, business, academia and the NGO sphere.

  • Turkey's New Moves in the Eastern Mediterranean
    Turkey’s New Moves in the Eastern Mediterranean by Dr. George N. Tzogopoulos BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 2,110, August 1, 2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In July 2021, Israel expressed full support to the Republic of Cyprus in the wake of the unilateral reopening of the Varosha coastline by Turkey. Last year, it also showed solidarity with Athens during Greek-Turkish tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean. While the tripartite partnership is progressing, Ankara is seeking to expand its footprint in the region and is pursuing a two-state solution in Cyprus. It is also applying a new foreign policy methodology to Greece while remaining adamant in its demands. Turkey’s new policy vis-à-vis Cyprus, based on a two-state solution, is being heavily criticized by the international community. In a press statement, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken expressed American support for a Cypriot-led comprehensive settlement to reunify the island as a bizonal, bicommunal federation. Also, the decision by Ankara to reopen the coastline of Varosha, a city on the eastern edge of the island that was abandoned after the 1974 military invasion, united the 15 members of the UN Security Council in condemnation. On July 23, the Security Council reaffirmed the status of Varosha as set out in previous resolutions, including 550 (1984) and 789 (1992). Israel is committed to strengthening its collaboration with both Greece and Cyprus. The July phone call between presidents Isaac Herzog and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan did not prevent Jerusalem from expressing deep concern about Turkish announcements regarding Cyprus. FM Yair Lapid hosted his counterparts Nikos Dendias on July 21 and Nikos Christodoulides on July 27.

  • Greece, Cyprus and Israel at the Front Line for Peace
    Philelptheros Interview English Version Originally Published on February 9th, 2020 Greece, Cyprus and Israel at the front line for peace AHI President Nick Larigakis sees the Eastern Mediterranean as a boiling caldron with the potential to blow up and create more instability. So, he reminds the United States to be proactive rather than react when it is too late. The President of the American Hellenic Institute, Nick Larigakis, who recently visited Athens, Nicosia, and Israel, talks about the new developments in our region and the interest of United States vis-à-vis the region. Larigakis underlines that Cyprus is a legitimate international player in the Eastern Mediterranean and that the EU and the United States must condemn the illegal Turkish actions and, if necessary, to impose sanctions on Ankara and ultimately, put Erdogan in his place. What do you take from your recent trip to Israel, Cyprus and Greece? This was our fourth trip [since when we established this biennial trip to the three countries] in an attempt to support this tripartite partnership through the efforts of Diaspora communities of these countries in the US. This time we came with delegations from AHEPA (the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association), B’nai B’rith International, and the federation of 53 Jewish organizations in the United States (Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations COP). We launched this initiative six years ago, because we wanted to show that as Diaspora organizations, we support the trilateral cooperation that has been established between Cyprus, Greece and Israel. With our visit to these three countries we also wanted to emphasize that we are available to help expand this cooperation.
