Europe Whole and Free: Vision and Reality
The Polish Institute of International Affairs Transatlantic Leadership Network Editors: Sławomir Dębski and Daniel S. Hamilton Europe Whole and Free: Vision and Reality EUROPE WHOLE AND FREE: VISION AND REALITY Editors Sławomir Dębski and Daniel S. Hamilton PRAISE FOR EUROPE WHOLE AND FREE: VISION AND REALITY “The goal of a Europe whole, free and at peace remains as vital today as it did in 1989. This important book brings together policymakers and experts from both sides of the Atlantic for a timely discussion of how to achieve that goal for the 21st century.” — Madeleine K. Albright Former Secretary of State between 1997–2001 “Europe is not yet Whole and Free as we dreamt it would be in the heady days of 1989. But Europe is wholer and freer than it has ever been in its history. Russia and Belarus are the only two countries whose people are denied the right to choose their own government. One day they will have that right which the rest of Europe now enjoys. This volume of essays is essential reading for those who wish to understand the last 30 years; three decades of European history which, whatever the setbacks and disappointments, have transformed our continent and the lives of those who are its citizens.” —Sir Malcolm Rifkind served as Foreign Minister and Minister of Defence in the United Kingdom Government between 1992–1997 „A great book about Europe‘s finest years, a convincing but unfinished strategic architecture.“ —Volker Rühe served as Federal Minister of Defence in German Government between 1992–1998 Europe Whole and Free: Vision and Reality The Polish Institute of International Affairs Transatlantic Leadership Network Europe Whole and Free: Vision and Reality Editors: Sławomir Dębski and Daniel S. -

European Spaces of Culture
Co-funded by EUROPEAN SPACES OF CULTURE Frequently Asked Questions Call for Ideas 2021: what’s new? Increased project budget Phase 1 of the Preparatory Action (2019-2021) included a project budget of EUR 350,000, which could fund ten ideas and five pilot projects only. The new Call for Ideas has a budget of EUR 500,000 and aims to support around ten pilot projects. Number of projects more flexible Phase 1 of the Preparatory Action set out from the start to support ten ideas and five pilot projects. In the new Call, the selection will be made with more flexibility and be based on the amounts requested by the best ideas and projects. Mobility scheme The new Call for Ideas includes a dedicated budget for a new Mobility Scheme. The Call will be open to small mobility grants for prospective project partners, especially those with a focus on transnational and transregional projects, before submitting their idea. Mobility grants will be open to EUNIC members. More local partners required This Call has raised the minimum of key local cultural partners to three. Partners can be civil society organisations as well as public bodies. Exception possible when there are no 3 EUNIC members A minimum of three EUNIC members is still required with one of them administering the application. However, exceptions can be made in countries with limited EUNIC capacity and presence. In such cases it must be made clear why the threshold of 3 EUNIC members is impossible to achieve. Selection based on scores In the previous Call for Ideas, only the selection in the second step of the Call was made based on maximum scores per criterion. -
New Directions in Cultural Diplomacy
This is an advance copy of an essay to be published in 2010 by Real Instituto Elcano, Madrid, in a collection entitled “Cultura y Proyección Exterior: Nuevos Valores y Estrategias de Acción”. It is not to be reproduced or circulated without the approval of the author. New Directions Steve Green1 William Gibson’s frequently quoted statement “the future is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed”, applies to cultural diplomacy. The new directions promise to usher in a transformation of cultural diplomacy. They will add new strands of activity, lead to a re-assessment of existing ways of operating and introduce new items to the cultural diplomacy toolkit. This essay surveys the new directions in global cultural diplomacy. A standard difficulty in surveys is the lack of an agreed terminology. Is the field to be referred to as “cultural diplomacy”, “cultural PR”, “public diplomacy”, “nation branding”? Different countries, different organizations, different authors use the terms almost interchangeably. This essay uses “cultural diplomacy” and returns to the terminology issue in its final section. It will be useful to start with a set of opening parameters in mind. Rod Fisher has a seven point list of the principal objectives of a country’s foreign cultural policy. They are: • to promote cultural diplomacy • to develop cultural relations • to support the export of a nation’s cultural products and creative industries • to underpin the development of beneficial new trading arrangements • to attract tourism and perhaps inward investment • to enhance programme aid in developing countries and • To create an informed and primarily favourable picture of a country to the “outside world”.2 1 Steve Green is Team Leader for the EUNIC presidency. -

Working Paper
Working Paper No. 34 / November 2012 Reviewing Member States’ Commitment to the European External Action Service Abstract Based on interviews with diplomats from a representative cross-section of nine member states and members of the EEAS itself, the research findings of this EPIN Working Paper confirm long-standing traditions and member state perceptions of cooperation with European institutions. The paper also reveals new aspects of the intergovernmental method of foreign policy shaping and making in the European Union; in particular how different national positions can positively or negatively affect the consolidation of the EEAS and the role of the EU as an international actor. As such, the Working Paper makes an original contribution to the existing literature on one of most discussed actors in the European Union’s post-Lisbon architecture in the domain of EU external action. EPIN Working Papers present analyses of key issues raised by the debate on the political integration of Europe. The European Policy Institutes Network (EPIN) is a network of think tanks and policy institutes based throughout Europe, which focuses on current EU political and policy debates (see back cover for more information).
