That’s why we work hard to extend the availability of no- and lower alcohol beer. With more and better options, enjoyment and moderation can always go hand in hand. Even when not drinking alcohol at all, whether by choice or by necessity, we want a beer to be available that is right for the occasion. To achieve this objective we have committed, as part of our Global Smart Drinking Goals, that by the end of 2025 at least one in five beers that we brew will contain either little alcohol* or no alcohol at all.

  • Starting Over: the Center-Right After Trump a Niskanen Center Conference on December 11, 2018
    1 Starting Over: The Center-Right After Trump A Niskanen Center Conference on December 11, 2018 KEYNOTE: ANNE APPLEBAUM Brink Lindsey: Okay, we’ll move forward with the program now with today’s keynote address. I’m delighted and proud to introduce Anne Applebaum, our keynote speaker. Anne is a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and journalist, and the author of numerous books, most notably Gulag: A History, Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe, 1944-1956, and Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine. Anne is also a columnist for the Washington Post and a Professor in Practice at the London School of Economics. I think we are focused on our political predicament here in the United States, but it is not a one-off, it is not a unique phenomenon. What’s going on here is of a piece with what’s going on in many other countries around the world. And the struggles that liberal democracy is going through now are not unique. It has gone through struggles in the past. So to bring our current moment into a broader perspective, I can’t think of anybody who can do a better job than Anne, given her unique breadth and depth of perspective on these matters — and a transatlantic perspective, certainly, because she lives a transatlantic life. Anne is a citizen of the United States and of Poland… Anne Applebaum: And Britain. Brink Lindsey: And a citizen of Britain too. So a triple club member. That’s good. We’re all looking for Plan Bs. So you’ve got a couple.

Die ORF-Nachrichten im Spannungsfeld zwischen Professionalität, Profit, Publikum und Politik Die Nachrichten des öffentlich-rechtlichen ORF müssen sich im Spannungsfeld zwischen Profit, Professi- onalität, Publikum und Politik positionieren und profilieren. Die Legitimation des öffentlich-rechtlichen Status wird dabei vermehrt mit dem Hinweis in Frage gestellt, dass der ORF seinem gesetzlichen Programm- auftrag nicht nachkomme und politisch unausgewogen berichte. Diese empirische Studie stellt die ORF- Nachrichten österreichischen Qualitätszeitungen und ATV-aktuell komparativ gegenüber und geht der Frage nach, wie die professionellen Standards der ORF-Nachrichten im Sinne der publizistischen und politischen Pluralität im nationalen und internationalen Kontext zu beurteilen sind. Dabei zeigt sich zum einen, dass sich die ORF-Berichterstattung weitgehend im Rahmen transnationaler journalistischer Trends einordnet.

  • “Post-Shame Era”: Ruth Wodak
    1 Entering the “Post-Shame Era”: Ruth Wodak (A version of this chapter originally appeared as “Entering the ‘post-shame era’: the rise of illiberal democracy, populism and neo-authoritarianism in Europe” in Global Discourse, vol 9, no 1). Introduction On 17 July 2018, former US president Barack Obama was invited to give the Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture in Johannesburg. In his speech, he warned that: a politics of fear and resentment and retrenchment began to appear, and that kind of politics is now on the move … I am not being alarmist, I am simply stating the facts. … Strongman politics are ascendant suddenly, whereby elections and some pretence of democracy are maintained – the form of it – but those in power seek to undermine every institution or norm that gives democracy meaning. Obviously, Obama did not use the terms ‘illiberal democracy’, ‘neo-authoritarianism’ or ‘populism’ (or other terms which currently dominate social-science scholarship and media reporting), but he certainly put his finger on the drastic socio-political changes that have been taking place globally, including in EU member states, specifically since the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ of 2015 (Rheindorf and Wodak, 2018). Indeed, as a study on ‘Fear not values’ conducted by de Vries and Hoffman (2016) in eight EU member states illustrates, over 50% of the voters for far-right parties viewed globalisation as the major threat in the future.3 Moreover, 53% of those who fear globalisation perceive migration as the major global challenge, and 54% display anti-foreigner sentiments. In a similar vein, political scientist Ivan Krastev concludes in his widely acknowledged essay Europadämmerung (2017: 48–49) that the ‘refugee crisis’ of 2015 might eventually lead to the destruction of the EU.

    Austria | Freedom House https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-world/2019/austria A. ELECTORAL PROCESS: 12 / 12 A1. Was the current head of government or other chief national authority elected through free and fair elections? 4 / 4 Executive elections in Austria are generally free and fair. The president is elected for a six-year term and has predominantly ceremonial duties. The president does, however, appoint the chancellor, who also needs the support of the legislature to govern. Austria’s current president is the former head of the Green Party, Alexander Van der Bellen, who was elected after a close and controversial poll that featured a repeat of the run-off between Van der Bellen and FPÖ candidate Norbert Hofer. The run-off was repeated after the Constitutional Court established that there had been problems with the handling of postal ballots. Following the 2017 elections to the National Council (Nationalrat), the lower house of parliament, ÖVP head Sebastian Kurz became chancellor with support of the right- wing, populist FPÖ. A2. Were the current national legislative representatives elected through free and fair elections? 4 / 4 Legislative elections in Austria are generally considered credible. The National Council has 183 members chosen through proportional representation at the district, state, and federal levels. Members serve five-year terms. The 62 members of the upper house, the Federal Council (Bundesrat), are chosen by state legislatures for five- or six-year terms. Snap elections to the National Council took place in 2017, one year early, following the collapse of the coalition between the SPÖ and the ÖVP. Animosities between the two former coalition partners were reflected in an antagonistic, heavily-fought election campaign.

  • OPEN SOCIETY1 Marijk VAN DER WENDE ABSTRACT
    18. REFRAMING UNIVERSITIES’ GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT FOR AN OPEN SOCIETY1 Marijk VAN DER WENDE ABSTRACT Globalization has strongly influenced higher education during the last decades. As in many other sectors, this has generated contradictory outcomes. Enhanced competition for repu- tation, talent, and resources was driven by the paradigm of the global knowledge economy and fueled by global rankings, dynamic research funding, and international mobility. At the same time and in response, strengthened cooperation occurred within networks, systems, and regions. System convergence could be observed in parallel to growing divergence and strati- fication of institutions. As a whole, higher education has opened up to the world and became more engaged at global level. But how will this process continue with the current backlash against globalization in Europe and the US and what will be the impact of other major geopo- litical trends such as the rise of China? INTRODUCTION In times that walls are being pulled up and borders are being closed down, higher education is facing new challenges in its role towards the realization of an open, democratic and equitable society. Recent geopolitical events and intensified populist tendencies are promoting a turn away from internationalism and away from an open society. Support for open borders, multilateral trade and cooperation is being weak- ened, globalization is criticized, and nationalism is looming. Brexit, the prospect of a disintegrating Europe Union, and of the US turning its back on the world create waves of uncertainty in higher education regarding international cooperation, the free move- ment of students, academics, scientific knowledge and ideas. At the same time China is launching new global initiatives such as the One Belt One Road (or New Silk Road) project, which could potentially span and integrate major parts of the world across the Euro-Asian continents, but likely on new and different conditions, also for higher education.
