The secondary aim is to provide inspiration to civil society leaders as well as the young generation. GRT has developed and uses a unique novel approach for best practice exchanges with socio-economic relevance across generation-, national- and cultural boundaries. It allows crucial issues of the time to be addressed from diverse perspectives in a constructive and complementary manner. The Pázmány Péter Catholic University (PPCU) is a private university of the Catholic Church in Hungary, recognized by the state. Founded in 1635, the University is one of Hungary's oldest and most prestigious institutions of higher education. PPCU is classified as a “university of national excellence”. It is independent of any political party and organization. * PARTNERS The World Academy of Art and Science - composed of individuals from diverse cultures, nationalities, and intellectual disciplines - seeks to address global issues related to the social consequences and policy implications of knowledge. The Club of Rome EU Chapter - an independent non-profit association, affiliated with the Club of Rome, aims to build bridges between the European Union institutions, their constituencies, their citizens and the Club of Rome as a leading think tank. Its mission is to act as a catalyst of reflection on sustainable development in Europe and at the global level. The European Movement Split - an international organisation open to all political, economic, social and cultural trends in civil society – with the objective to contribute to the establishment of a united, federal Europe founded on the principles of peace, democracy, liberty, solidarity, and respect for basic human rights. * 8 THE ISSUE Recent events on the European political scene, including the “Lux Leaks” disclosures may suggest that we are witnessing a process whereby European politics loses their moral compass. Economic advantages seem to override moral concerns in current political decision-making. The growing market pressure on moral arguments raises the question whether economics is free of values, or on the contrary, moral values should be embodied in economic analysis? What do these tendencies reveal about present European politics? What kind of relationship exists between morality and politics? Can morality play a successful part in regulating politics, or vice versa? Should we approach their interaction as irreconcilable and contradictory by its very nature, or rather regard them as mutual regulators? Participants of the meeting should try to shed light on these considerations by sharing success and failure examples of the various interrelations of morality and politics. It is a constantly returning question whether political leaders can and/or should be obliged to defend basic moral values? Till date no common consensus has been formulated on the role and relevance of morality in politics. Many see ethics in politics as a contradiction in terms, or even worse, an inhibiting factor that may hamper or harm the political process and derail decision-making. Others consider morality as a possible added value for politics which has to be taken in account along with interests to increase confidence and approval of political decisions. Examples should highlight the role of morality as an inescapable hindrance or necessity in politics. Another disturbing development – the loss of an ethical compass in business, especially in finance – will be addressed at a follow-up Global Round Table. * CONVENTIONAL DEFINITIONS (MERRIAM WEBSTER THESAURUS: - http://www.merriam-webster.com/netdict.htm) Morality: Beliefs about what is right and wrong behaviour; The degree to which something is right and good; The moral goodness or badness of something; Distinction between guilt and shame societies; Self-imposed morality (virtue, honour) vs. morality imposed by social mores and rewards-punishments. Ethic: rules of behaviour based on ideas about what is morally good and bad. Politics: The art of science of government; The art of science concerned with guiding or influencing government policy; The art of science concerned with winning and holding control over a government. Culture specific Morality (examples of concern): Equity (fairness / human focus) – mainly European model; Equality (equal opportunity / success focus) – mainly US model; Inclusivity (family / community focus) – mainly Asian model; Exclusivity (“the chosen” / hegemony focus) – e.g. Islamic State. * 9 “… could a tale unfold whose lightest word would harrow up thy soul …” Hamlet William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) Reminder: Political correctness endangers honest and direct dialogue. 10 THE GLOBAL ROUND TABLE 2015 MAIN EVENT The main objective of any politician is to be elected and remain in power. The way to it can be muddy and MORALITY can be stretched to limits. This event is not a judgement about past MORAL blunders of any political parties, neither accusation of any individual politician’s questionable MORALITY. Aim The aim of the round-table is to promote greater MORAL responsibility by political- and societal leaders, and better understanding by the citizens of the importance of MORALITY in the 21st Century societies, more than ever before. Motivation Political decisions often disregard wider MORAL implications. In most cases this is due to political naivety or inadequate foundation of politicians, rather than determined misleading of population. One-sided focus on narrow party-political objectives and economic competitiveness – combined with limited democratic participation in deciding on societal choices – often result in short-sighted, even reckless political decisions. Political idealism, even naivety, and unfounded enthusiasm could make the situation even worst. Form The issue is addressed in a focused round-table by invited high-level experts and relevant individuals that have hands-on experience

The Martens V government almost succeeded in completing the parliamentary term as it bas intended. They Heysel drama caused an unexpected rupture in the cabinet, so elections were set for October, while normally they would have been held in December. The electoral battle was completely dominated by the three major politica! families : on the one side, the Christian Democrats and the Liberals, who defended the recovery policy of the previous four years based on a transfer of financial resources from individuals to businesses ; on the other side were the Socialists, who stressed the negative effects of the « income cutback » policy. The polarization of the electoral campaign was symbolized the most clearly by the campaign of the largest majority party. With the slogan Geen Ommekeer (No Turning Back) and with outgoing Premier Martens as the figurehead, the CVP tried to com­ municate to the electorate that there was no alternative to the unpopular socio-economie recovery policy and that this policy had to be continued in order to solve the country's problems definitively. Against expectations and to its own astonishment, the majority emerged strengthened from the ballot box. Consequently, nothing stood in the way of a new edition of Martens V, and on 28 November, the new Christian-Democrat/Liberal government was formed.

  • Het Dramatisch Eerste Ministerschap Van Mark Eyskens: Een Terugblik Na Twintig Jaar 1
    Het dramatisch Eerste Ministerschap van Mark Eyskens: een terugblik na twintig jaar 1 baron Aloïs VAN DE VOORDE Ere secretaris-generaal van het Ministerie van Financiën 1. Ontslag van de regering-Martens IV (CVP/PSC-SP/PS) Begin oktober 1980 viel de regering-Martens III (CVP/PSC-SP/PS-PW/PRL) over de liberale eis om strenge besparingen door te voeren. Op 25 oktober al stelde Wilfried Martens met de christen-democraten en socialisten zijn vierde regering samen. De liberalen verdwenen voor een jaar in de oppositie. Paul Hatry werd als minister van Financiën opgevolgd door Mark Eyskens. Begin 1981 werd de regering-Martens IV opnieuw geconfronteerd met de ha­ chelijke ontwikkeling van de overheidsfinanciën die al in de voorbije herfst de politieke crisis had veroorzaakt. Op zondag 22 maart 1981 kon de regering een akkoord bereiken over het zogenaamde Vastenplan. De bijkredieten werden vol­ ledig weggewerkt, er werden een aantal besparingsmaatregelen vastgelegd e n en­ kele nieuwe bronnen van inkomsten gevonden. De CVP, bij monde van voorzit­ ter Leo Tindemans, vond het herstelplan, hoe verdienstelijk ook, onvoldoende. Ook de Nationale Bank drong aan op krachtiger maatregelen, gelet op de zwak­ ke positie van de Belgische frank. Martens zocht een uitweg in de richting van een herziening van het interpro­ fessioneel akkoord. Hij onderzocht de mogelijkheid om de industriële competi­ tiviteit te herstellen en het internationaal klimaat ten voordele van de frank te verbeteren door een schorsing van de indexering van de lonen en zelfs door een tijdelijke toepassing van sommige loonsverminderingen. Op zaterdagavond 28 maart werd in die zin aan de topministers een lijst van maatregelen voorgelegd die in de loop van de dag in der haast was opgesteld: besparingen op de lonen in de ondernemingen in moeilijkheden die overheidssteun genoten, blokkering van de prijzen en besnoeiïngen in de werkloosheidsuitkeringen en in de kinderbij­ slagen.

  • 170 Ans De Libéralisme Politique En Belgique
    introduction 170 ans de libéralisme politique en Belgique Pascal Delwit En 2016, le parti libéral a commémoré le cent soixante-dixième anniversaire de sa naissance, ce qui en fait l’une des plus anciennes formations politiques européennes. Pourtant, à l’image de nombreuses formations de droite dans le spectre politique européen, il n’a pas bénéficié à ce jour de toute l’attention voulue. A l’échelle européenne, les travaux contemporains sur la famille libérale font pâle figure 1 à côté des nombreux ouvrages dédiés à l’extrême droite, à la social-démocratie ou à la famille communiste. Pour ce qui a trait plus spécifiquement à la Belgique, quelques travaux importants 2 existent mais ils ne sont pas nombreux, ont souvent été lancés par les libéraux eux- mêmes et font parfois l’impasse sur des questions majeures. Songeons en particulier à la dimension organisationnelle des libéraux belges dans le temps. Approcher aujourd’hui les libéraux belges, sous différents angles, avait donc du sens eu égard au nombre assez restreint d’études qui leur ont été consacrées. L’intérêt du sujet est d’autant plus évident que l’Open vld et, plus encore, le mr sont engagés depuis octobre 2014 dans une expérience gouvernementale inédite qui détonne par rapport aux codes classiques de la vie politique et pose nombre de questions.
