  • 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.

During the next six months, the Romanian presidency will aim for better political and economic cohesion between member states and will commit to work towards reducing development gaps between regions, supporting economic growth and digitization, especially for European industry. Coherent management of migration flows, strengthening the EU’s external borders and a better protection of citizens in virtual space will also be work priorities in the first semester of 2019. Setting up and even extending the mandate of the European Prosecutor’s Office to include terrorist offenses and better cooperation between countries of origin and transit countries on migration issues will also be on the agenda. The Prime Minister underlined the Romanian government’s commitment to move forward on EU enlargement matters, with particular attention paid to the Western Balkans and a focus on common European values. MEPs of all political groups underlined that they stood ready to work hand in hand with the presidency to move forward on European legislative matters in priority areas, pointing out that the Romanian government must do more to promote European values by being more politically stable and consistent.
