Projects

Reshaping the nexus of Germany's economic diplomacy and democratic backsliding in Hungary and Poland 

Future of European Integration

The “Zeitenwende” is changing not only German foreign policy, but also trade policy. What does this mean for Poland and Hungary in view of their democratic regression? IEP is creating a dialog format for German decision-makers from politics and business.

RESILIO – Resilience observatory on the rule of law in Europe

Future of European Integration

Why are some democracies in the EU more resilient to the regressing rule of law than others? IEP will assess the resilience of all 27 member states using a systematic analytical framework in order to deliver counterstrategies to the regression of the rule of law.
