The New Pact for Europe project is an initiative that aims to promote a transnational, Europe-wide debate on the future of Europe. In its first report, New Pact for Europe has identified five strategic options for the European Union: going back to basics, consolidating past achievements, moving ahead ambitiously, leaping forward and changing the more or less EU logic altogether. At this conference, President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy provided his insights on the desirability of these five options, and talked about the deeper, wider political crisis that is plaguing Europe at the moment.
The European Politics and Institutions Programme covers the EU’s institutional architecture, governance and policymaking to ensure that it can move forward and respond to the challenges of the 21st century democratically and effectively. It also monitors and analyses political developments at the EU level and in the member states, discussing the key questions of how to involve European citizens in the discussions over the Union’s future and how to win their support for European integration. The Programme has a special focus on enlargement policy towards the Western Balkans, questions of EU institutional reform and illiberal trends in European democracies.
