  • Dear President, Dear Ursula, We Welcome the Letter of 1 March That
    March 8, 2021 Dear President, dear Ursula, We welcome the letter of 1 March that you received from Chancellor Merkel and PM Frederiksen, PM Kallas and PM Marin. We share many of the ideas outlined in the letter. Indeed, there are some points that we find are of particular importance as we work to progress the digital agenda for the EU. We certainly agree that our agenda must be founded on a good mix of self-determination and openness. Our approach to digital sovereignty must be geared towards growing digital leadership by preparing for smart and selective action to ensure capacity where called for, while preserving open markets and strengthening global cooperation and the external trade dimension. Digital innovation benefits from partnerships among sectors, promoting public and private cooperation. Translating excellence in research and innovation into commercial successes is crucial to creating global leadership. The Single Market remains key to our prosperity and to the productivity and competitiveness of European companies, and our regulatory framework needs to be made fit for the digital age. We need a Digital Single Market for innovation, to eliminate barriers to cross-border online services, and to ensure free data flows. Attention must be paid to the external dimension where we should continue to work closely with our allies around the world and where in our interest, develop new partnerships. We need to make sure that the EU can be a leader of a responsible digital transformation. Trust and innovation are two sides of the same coin. Europe’s competitiveness should be built on efficient, trustworthy, transparent, safe and responsible use of data in accordance with our shared values.

  • Compassionate and Visionary Leadership. Key Lessons of Social Democratic Governance in Times of Covid-19
    PROGRESS IN EUROPE 31 Compassionate and visionary leadership Key lessons of Social Democratic governance in times of Covid-19 Ania Skrzypek The Covid-19 pandemic has triggered an unforeseen reaction from European citizens. People – the same people that until a year ago were very vocal in expressing their mistrust in politics and institutions – instinctively turned to their national government to receive care and cure in a moment of deep crisis. Furthermore, they found a feeling of mutual solidarity, particularly in the fi rst stages of the lockdown, and naturally longed for a more robust welfare state. These are not changes that one can consider permanent or long-term. Yet they have had signifi cant implications for politics and for political parties, and for the Social Democratic ones in particular, which are strongly committed to values such as solidarity, and have traditionally been cham- pions of the European welfare states. The new public mood has allowed for welfare policies to be recognised as essential, that during the 2008 fi nancial crisis were considered simply too costly. What is more, the crisis has offered the opportunity for the Social Democratic parties in government to set the direction rather than merely manage the crisis. Empathy and com- munication focused on safeguarding jobs have become fundamental tools for establishing a connection with the European people. At the end of 2020 social media were fl ooded by memes that would immortalise the passing year as a complete disaster. The depiction varied with some suggesting ‘all down the drain’ and others implicitly offering the hope that from the absolute low in which the world had found itself, there was no other way but upwards.

  • Open Letter Chancellor Kurz
    Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz Federal Chancellery Ballhausplatz 2 1010 Vienna Austria 27 September 2018 Sebastian Kurz, your leadership is needed to protect the youth As the former President of the World Federation of Public Health Associations, I had the privileGe to visit many countries which stronGly reduced their smokinG rate and effectively protect their non-smokers. Austria was not yet able to do so. Now, I also have the Good fortune of havinG a younG man from Austria livinG in my home as part of a Student Exchange Scheme. I am concerned for his health and the health of his siblinGs, his friends and his fellow Austrians. That’s why I would like to share some of our experiences from Australia. Smoking in Austria and Australia The followinG OECD data show the ‘daily smokinG rates’ in our countries. Since the 1970s, there are sliGhtly more smokers in Austria but two-thirds less smokers in Australia: Source: https://data.oecd.orG/healthrisk/daily-smokers.htm This marked contrast is also seen in youth smokers. In Austria, 27% of 15 year olds were smokers in 2013. In Australia, younG people are now overwhelminGly rejectinG all forms of smokinG. In 2014 the percentaGe of i secondary students aGed 15 years who smoked tobacco was less than 5% . The latest statistics indicate that this has reduced even further, so that in 2016 less than 1% of 12-15 year olds had ever tried smokinGii. What could Austria learn from Australia? There are several lessons that can be learnt from the persistent approach taken by Australian governments.

  • With Kurz and Rutte, Merkel Won Allies in Reshaping the EU by Maurizio Ferrera and Alexander Damiano Ricci
    With Kurz and Rutte, Merkel won allies in reshaping the EU By Maurizio Ferrera and Alexander Damiano Ricci After the electoral successes of Emmanuel Macron in France and Angela Merkel in Germany, two new political events defined the contours of the new political playground in Europe. On the one hand, the Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte (VVD) was able to form a coalition Government with three other parties in the Netherlands. On the other hand, the 31-year old leader of the Austrian People’s Party (OVP), Sebastian Kurz, won the General elections in Austria. The manifesto of the next Dutch Government comes under the title “Trust in the Future” and has sarcastically been defined by dome Dutch newspapers as a “collage” of claims coming either from the Liberal D66 party, or the two Christian formations, CDA and CU. Anyhow, it took some 6 months to find a balance between the “economic” prerogatives of the VVD and the D66, on the one hand, and the “identitarian” claims of the CDU and the CU, on the other one. As a matter of fact, after the elections of 2017, The Hague and Vienna share similar views on the priorities at the EU governance level Out of the negotiations, the former obtained the simplification of the taxation scheme and greater flexibility on the job market. The latter could go back to their party bases with welfare measures targeting Dutch households and symbolic policies: allegedly, every 18 year-old citizen is set to receive a book on the history of the Netherlands. The parties agreed as well on rising levels of public investments in education, healthcare, infrastructures, security and defence.

  • Finland' Political Structure NCEE
    2020-21 Legislative International Education Study Group OVERVIEW OF FINLAND’S POLITICAL STRUCTURE Political Structure:1,2 • Finland is a parliamentary representative republic with both a popularly elected president, whose role is mostly ceremonial, and a parliament with a cabinet and a prime minister. • Finland has a 200-member unicameral parliament (Eduskunta). Almost all members are directly elected in single- and multi-seat constituencies by proportional representation vote to four-year terms. The most recent parliamentary elections were held in April 2019 (see below). They will be held again in April 2023.3 • Finland’s president is directly elected by absolute majority popular vote for a six- year term and is eligible to serve a second term. The current president, Sauli Niinisto, was elected in 2012 and reelected in 2018. The next presidential election will be held in 2024.4 • Finland’s prime minister is appointed by the Eduskunta.5 The current prime minister, Sanna Marin, was appointed in December 2019 (see below).6 Political Context: Finland has a strong history of multi-party politics, with no one party having majority control for long. In 2015, the Center Party won the majority of parliamentary seats and formed a coalition with the National Coalition Party and the relatively new Finns Party. The Finns Party was formed in 1995 and is a nationalist, Euro-sceptic and anti-establishment party. The 2015 coalition was the first time the Finns Party had participated in government. However, in March 2019, just a month before parliamentary elections in April, the coalition government fell apart. The April 2019 national election was the first in Finland’s history in which no party came away with more than 20 percent of the vote.
