Podcasts about European Stability Initiative

Jedes Jahr sterben über tausend Menschen auf der Flucht im Mittelmeer. An den EU-Aussengrenzen werden Asylsuchende mit Zäunen und Gewalt zurückgehalten. Wie kann Migration kontrolliert werden ohne Gewalt und Tote? Darüber spricht Yves Bossart mit dem gefragten Migrationsexperten Gerald Knaus. Von «Asylchaos» ist die Rede. Rechtpopulistische Parteien feiern Erfolge, weil sie eine restriktive Asylpolitik fordern. Auch die EU hat ihre Migrationspolitik verschärft. Was passiert da gerade? Und wie könnte eine humane und gerechte Migrationspolitik aussehen? Der österreichische Sozialwissenschaftler und Migrationsforscher Gerald Knaus gilt als Vordenker des Migrationsabkommens der EU mit der Türkei von 2016. Er ist Gründungsmitglied der «European Stability Initiative» und berät heute zahlreiche Regierungen. Seine Kernforderung lautet: Wir brauchen Kontrolle, vereint mit Empathie. Grenzschutz ja, aber menschlich. Knaus möchte – wie derzeit einige EU-Länder – Asylverfahren aus Europa auslagern, in sichere Drittstaaten, mit denen Abkommen geschlossen werden. So würden Menschen ohne Chance auf Asyl die gefährliche Reise nach Europa gar nicht erst antreten. Aber: Ist das moralisch vertretbar?

In this week's episode Ivan Vejvoda sits down with European Stability Initiative deputy chairman and Europe's Futures fellow Kristof Bender to discuss a policy that many point to as among the most successful peace projects in the history of the world: EU enlargement. As the Union decides whether and how quickly to extend EU membership to Ukraine and Molodova and formalize their move towards Europe in response to the full scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Kristof and Ivan lead us through the history of the policy and its transformative effect on those countries who have joined the bloc, then ask why the policy seems to have stalled in recent years. Does it make sense to extend membership to new countries for geopolitical reasons? Or should the process be purely meritocratic? Is there a new approach that would offer a clear incentive to candidate countries to make necessary improvements that could sidestep internal EU politics?As deputy chairman of the ESI Kristof Bender has lead various research projects on EU enlargement and on South Eastern Europe. He has worked in South East Europe in various capacities since 1997, including managing higher education projects in Bosnia for the World University Service, serving as Attaché for Humanitarian Affairs in the Austrian Embassy in Belgrade, and working as a researcher for the International Centre for Migration Policy Development . He has also worked as a consultant for various institutions, including the Austrian Federal Chancellery, DFID, and SIDA.Find him on twitter @kristofbenderIvan Vejvoda  is Head of the Europe's Futures program at IWM where, in cooperation with leading European organisations and think tanks IWM and ERSTE Foundation have joined forces to tackle some of the most crucial topics: nexus of borders and migration, deterioration in rule of law and democracy and European Union's enlargement prospects.The Institute for Human Sciences (IWM) is an independent institute for advanced study in the humanities and social sciences.

Besa Luci in conversation with Adi Ćerimagić and Augustin Palokaj.In this episode, we talk about the Association of Serb-Majority Municipalities in Kosovo.Arising in 2013 as part of an agreement between Kosovo and Serbia within the EU-mediated dialogue, the Association was promoted as a way to convince Kosovo Serbs to fully enter the Kosovar system, ensure their cultural autonomy and end the Serbian state's parallel structures within Kosovo. Still unimplemented after a decade, it's long been causing controversy.Following the initial 2013 agreement and a follow-up in 2015, Kosovo erupted in political turmoil. For weeks, in both years, the Assembly was brought to a halt by the then-opposition party Vetëvendosje, who argued that the Association was a way for Serbia to undermine Kosovo's sovereignty. The 2015 protests initiated a review by the Constitutional Court, which paradoxically said that aspects of the guiding principles of the Association were not in accordance with the Constitution, but that it was nevertheless a legal obligation for Kosovo.This past March, a much-awaited meeting took place in Ohrid, where Kosovo and Serbia agreed to, but did not sign, the “European Plan” for normalizing relations. Observers paid the most attention to a particular article of the 11-point plan, which would require Kosovo “to ensure an appropriate level of self-management for the Serbian community in Kosovo,” and to do so in accordance with previously reached agreements.Critics of the Association see it as an additional level of governance, “a state within a state,” which will lead to the “bosnification” of Kosovo, referring to the Republika Srpska entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, also an imposed creation of the international community. But details are still scarce, and no one seems to actually know what the Association will look like.Two guests discuss the competing narratives around the Association as well as what this process tells us about the region's relationship with the EU and international community at large.Augustin Palokaj is the Brussels correspondent for KOHA group and has been following the dialogue for over a decade. Adi Ćerimagić is a senior analyst at the European Stability Initiative, a European think tank developing policy ideas on South East Europe, asylum policy, human rights and democracy.Other Talking Points is produced by Besa Luci, Aulonë Kadriu and Gentiana Paçarizi. Music and sound mix by PUG musik.This podcast is part of the Human Rightivism project, which is funded by the Embassy of Sweden in Prishtina, implemented by the Community Development Fund through its Human Rightivism Program.

Millions of people around the world are on the move today in search of a safe and better life. It's estimated over 100 million people were displaced last year. Over 30 million are refugees and 5 million are asylum seekers. The UN body for refugees says 72% of the refugees originate from just five countries: Syria, Venezuela, Ukraine, Afghanistan and South Sudan. These refugees are often fleeing persecution, conflict, violence, natural disasters and human rights violations. They make the dangerous journey across land and sea to seek asylum in other countries. Over the years, thousands have died or gone missing in the the Mediterranean trying to reach Europe. While, with help from the UNHCR and host countries, many get legal status and are settled, thousands are held in processing centres and camps, often for years. We discuss problems with the current international asylum system and ask what would a fair global asylum system could look like? Owen Bennett Jones is joined by: Gerald Knaus - the founding chairman of German think tank The European Stability Initiative. Jeff Crisp - former head of policy development and evaluation at the UNHCR. Dr Ashwini Vasanthakumar - author of The Ethics of Exile: A Political Theory of Diaspora. She writes on the ethics and politics of migration.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina a dispute over a proposed new elections law has led to protests and concerns about the stability of the country. For more than 25 years since the Bosnian War ended in 1995 the country has been governed through a complex federal system intended to strike a balance between the three main ethnic groups: Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats. Many Bosnian Croats, however, now want changes that would, they say, give them better representation.Alix Kroeger speaks to Gerald Knaus, the chairman of the European Stability Initiative, a think tank focusing on south-eastern Europe and the enlargement of the European Union. He's been researching the two big European peace agreements of the 1990s: the Dayton Peace Accords in Bosnia and the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland. They discussed the parallels between the two, the role of the international community in Bosnia and the lessons for the war in Ukraine.Further reading:Jeremy Cliffe on Bosnia and the weakness of the West.

Gegen Zahlung nimmt Ruanda Flüchtlinge auf, die die Grenze zwischen Frankreich und Großbritannien illegal überquert haben: Der entsprechende Vertrag steht, nun sollen die Abschiebungen starten. Eine andere Einigung wäre möglich gewesen, sagt Migrationsforscher Gerald Knaus. Von WDR 5.

Mehr als drei Millionen Ukrainer und Ukrainerinnen sind bislang vor Bomben und Zerstörung aus ihrer Heimat geflüchtet. Darunter vor allem Frauen und Kinder. Die meisten landen zunächst in Polen oder in anderen osteuropäischen Staaten, rund 250 000 sind zurzeit in Deutschland. Prognosen rechnen mit insgesamt 10 Millionen Flüchtlingen. Schaffen wir das? Können die Geflüchteten in unsere Gesellschaften integriert werden? Und wie muss eine gerechte Verteilung innerhalb Europas aussehen? Claus Heinrich diskutiert mit Gerald Knaus - Migrationsforscher, European Stability Initiative, Berlin, Dr. Gerd Landsberg - Hauptgeschäftsführer Deutscher Städte- und Gemeindebund, Berlin, Katarina Niewiedzial - Berliner Beauftragte für Integration und Migration

Can the West Airlift Ukrainian Refugees to Safety? With estimates of up to 3.5 million refugees flooding out of Ukraine following  the Russian military's invasion, I interviewed Gerald Knaus, Chair of the European Stability Initiative, on the feasibility of an airlift of Ukrainian refugees from Poland, Hungary, and Moldova to other parts of Europe and the United States to enable burden sharing. How many refugees will need to be airlifted by the end of the month? How will the Ukrainian refugee crisis look in 6 months?

Gerald Knaus is a social scientist and chairman of the European Stability Initiative. An expert on asylum and migration policy, he has been one of the most influential voices in reshaping Europe's refugee system since the 2015 crisis. In this week's conversation, Gerald Knaus and Yascha Mounk discuss the history of asylum; how to develop a more humane system of migration; and how the European Union can fight democratic backsliding in its member states.

If Russia invades Ukraine, what about the refugees? As last minute negotiations between NATO and Russia continue, I interviewed Gerald Knaus, founding chairman of the European Stability Initiative, for this week's #BritainDebrief for the Atlantic Council. If Russia invades, is it possible to predict how large the refugee wave may be? Can Germany and Poland handle a potential wave? How would Ukraine's existing 90-day visa free travel arrangement with the EU but not the UK impact a potential refugee crisis? How can London help?

Unter Eindruck des langen Sommers der Migration 2015 initiierte die EU ein Abkommen mit der Türkei, um die Zahl der Geflüchteten, die über die Türkei nach Griechenland kamen, zu reduzieren. Der sogenannte “EU-Türkei Deal” war erfunden und sah vor, dass die Türkei die Grenzen nach Europa strenger kontrollieren und alle Geflüchteten wieder zurücknehmen sollte. Im Gegenzug wurden der Türkei sechs Milliarden Euro versprochen und für jeden zurückgeschickten syrischen Geflüchteten wollte die EU einen syrischen Flüchtling aus der Türkei aufnehmen. Soweit der Plan, der auf den Gründer der European Stability Initiative, Gerald Knaus, zurückgeht. Im März diesen Jahres jährt sich der “EU-Türkei Deal” zum vierten Mal. Wir wollen Bilanz ziehen und mit unseren Gästen diskutieren: Was hat funktioniert, was klappt nicht, was sind, was waren die Effekte für Geflüchtete in der Türkei und außerhalb? Hat der EU-Türkei Deal ein Chaos in Europa verhindert? Die Zahl der Geflüchteten auf den griechischen Ägäis-Inseln ist in den letzten Monaten dramatisch gewachsen, NGOs berichten immer wieder von menschenunwürdigen Bedingungen in türkischen Lagern. In der letzten Zeit werden immer mehr syrische Geflüchtete nach Idlib, also in ein Kriegsgebiet abgeschoben. Ist die Türkei, Partner der Europäischen Union, für Geflüchtete ein sicheres Land? Macht sich die EU politisch abhängig von einer Regierung Erdogan, die spätestens seit dem Putschversuch immer totalitärere Züge angenommen hat? Laut Erdogan ist das europäische Geld weitgehend aufgebraucht und somit ist ein Ende des Abkommens in Sicht. Wie soll, wie könnte es weitergehen? Eignet sich der Deal als Blaupause auch für die Verhandlungen mit anderen Staaten? Hören Sie bei Abends unterwegs im Bellevue di monaco die Podiumsdiskussion mit Gerald Knaus (European Stability Initiative), Günter Burkhard (Pro Asyl) und Prof. Dr. Sabine Strasser (Institut für Sozialanthropologie, Universität Bern). Moderation: Stephan Dünnwald (Bayerischer Flüchtlingsrat). In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Bayerischen Flüchtlingsrat.

Gerald Knaus, migration expert and co-founder of the European Stability Initiative, explains his proposals for a more pragmatic European approach to migration, as outlined in his newly published book ”Welche Grenzen brauchen wir?”

Die Situation der Migranten auf Lesbos ist dramatisch. Tausende Menschen leben auf der Strasse, nachdem das überfüllte Flüchtlingslager Moria durch mehrere Brände fast ganz zerstört worden ist. Der Migrationsforscher Gerald Knaus kritisiert im «Tagesgespräch» die europäische Migrationspolitik. Das Uno-Flüchtlingshilfswerk UNHCR spricht von einer «Schande für Europa» und von einer «humanitären Notlage». Auch Gerald Knaus kritisiert, dass 12'000 Menschen in einem Flüchtlingslager leben mussten, das gerade mal für 3000 Platz geboten habe. Er kritisiert zudem die Migrationspolitik der EU und fordert auch ein neues Flüchtlingsabkommen zwischen der EU und der Türkei. Das erste Abkommen von 2016 sei gescheitert, sagt er im «Tagesgespräch». Der Österreicher Knaus arbeitete während Jahren für Nichtregierungsorganisationen und gründete mit Freunden die Europäische Stabilitätsinitiative (European Stability Initiative). Diese Denkfabrik befasst sich unter anderem mit Migrationsfragen. Knaus kritisiert, dass manche EU-Länder in der Migrationspolitik nicht solidarisch seien. Das trägt ihm zuweilen Kritik ein, etwa von der ungarischen Regierung.

Europa scheint fest entschlossen, die Einwanderung auf ein Minimum zu verringern. Das Fazit: In griechischen Lagern leben Flüchtlinge und Migranten unter verheerenden Bedingungen, in der Ägäis sollen Menschen auf mobilen Inseln ausgesetzt werden, bis sie von der türkischen Küstenwache zurückgebracht werden. Was ist dran an den Vorwürfen? Wie viele Menschen sind eigentlich auf der Flucht? Und wie geht den Flüchtlingen der ersten großen Bewegung von 2015 heute am österreichischen Arbeitsmarkt? Über diese Themen sprechen in der neuen Folge des KURIER Daily Podcast die Journalistin Franziska Grillmeier auf Lesbos, der Migrationsexperte Gerald Knaus von dern European Stability Initiative und Marlies Gatterbauer vom AMS.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright talks about the divisions that emerged in Europe after the Cold War — and what the EU can do about them. We also debate a controversial plan to break the EU's deadlock on new members with the man behind the proposal, Gerald Knaus of the European Stability Initiative think tank. The podcast crew takes a closer look at Emmanuel Macron's worldview and the reaction to his big foreign policy interview, in which he declared NATO to be brain dead. And we round up the latest on the incoming European Commission after another batch of confirmation hearings. Is it full steam ahead for President-elect Ursula von der Leyen's team on December 1? Or has she hit the buffers again?

DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!!!Executive leadership faces new vulnerabilities. Many leaders privately concede them, but few are willing to talk publicly about them. 'Unthinkable' events since 2014 have revealed a new leadership fragility at the highest levels. The pace of change shows that the uncertainties are greater than ever.Is this the 'new normal?' Thinking The Unthinkable is an investigation into why leaders have appeared more unable or unwilling than ever to anticipate the biggest issues of our time. In an era of 'wicked problems' why are current leadership behaviours and culture apparently not fit for purpose?What are the causes of so many failures in policy and strategic forecasting?Are they human frailties? Or are they systemic failures to embrace smartly new realities?Through hundreds of interviews and conversations, Nik Gowing and Chris Langdon have analysed the deep new challenges to the human capacity of leaders at the highest keels to accept, understand, embrace then handle the extraordinary processes of change and disruption. This essential book draws on the candid responses. The findings will be disconcerting to leaders at all levels.We live in what might be the most disrupted time in history, hundred year old industries are disappearing over night. Things that we considered normal have nothing to do with what’s going on. In fact much of what’s going on today we would have considered “Unthinkable” not very long ago. The question is how can we as leaders thrive in a time where the unthinkable is the norm? Well let’s find out together…This has one of my most intriguing interviews. What my guests brought to light is fascinating, awakening and a clear call to action!My guests on this episode are Nik Gowing and Chris LangdonThe resumes of both are outstanding…Here’s a quick overview:Nik Gowing was a main news presenter for the BBC’s international 24-hour news channel… BBC World News from 1996-2014. He presented The Hub with Nik Gowing, BBC World Debates, Dateline London, plus location coverage of major global stories.He spent 18 years at ITN in senior roles including Diplomatic Editor, Channel 4 News. He received a BAFTA award in 1982 for his coverage of martial law in Poland.Chris Langdon: Founder-Director of Reconciliation Through Film, a charity being established to develop new ways of using communications to help conflict resolution. Chris is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) He has worked extensively on facilitating political reform in SE Europe. Through 2008-2010. he directed the Communicating Europe Programme for the European Stability Initiative, Chris was a TV producer for BBC News, ITN and APTN.Together they have spent the last 4 1/2 years asking leaders how they are coping with disruption - the answer is scary. Leaders cannot cope! However, Nik & Chris have some good news… They found some leaders who thrive on change. This is a fascinating episode that steps outside of leadership as we know it and confronts questions about leadership that few have had the courage to face.On this episode we go FullMonty on:Why leaders are struggling to keep up? The best way thrive in an age of massive disruptionThe cost of Conformity How Nik predicted what is now labelled ‘Fake News’ back in 2009. Purpose…what purpose, and why?Talking to scared C SuitersPolitical insurgents ‘shatter the mould’For more on Nik Gowing and Chris Langdon and Thinking The Unthinkable: www.thinkunthink.orgTo find out more about hiring Dov Baron as a speaker or strategist for your organization: http://fullmontyleadership.com/consulting or http://fullmontyleadership.com/speaking.Remember you can now also find us on iTunes, Spotify, iHeart Radio, or wherever you tune into podcasts.And on traditional radio stations across the US every Monday and Thursday on: 99.5 FM & 1520 AM Las Vegas102.1 FM & 1640 AM Lancaster, Philadelphia87.9 FM & 810 AM Macon, Georgia 92.1 FM & 1630 AM Tampa, Florida97.7 The Villages, Florida96.3 FM Boulder, Colorado90.3 FM Milwaukee, Wisconsin 94.7 FM Pittsburg, Philadelphia87.9 FM Colorado Springs, ColoradoAnd NOW LIVE on 96.7FM WASHINGTON, DC and on 96.7FM covering THE WASHINGTON DC & QUANTICO area.Also, look for us on ROKU TV where there are 100K subscribers.

According to John Dalhuisen, Senior Fellow at European Stability Initiative and former director of Amnesty International’s Europe and Central Asia Programme, humanitarian organizations should compromise on their ethical and moral standards, when it comes to migration. To not lose the battle from populists and extreme right winged, they have to search for a migration politics that is supported by a majority of the European citizens. Podcast Part 1 reflects the introduction speech of John Dalhuijsen (35 minutes), before a debate with John Dalhuijsen and representatives of humanitarian organizations. Dalhuijsen used the European migration crisis of 2015/2016 as a case study and elaborates on the arguments for and against the EU-Turkey Deal of March 2016.

Om hur man skapar en nation med hjälp av monument, kitsch och en egen historieskrivning. Följ med till Skopje i Makedonien, där triumfbågar och jätteskulpturer ska skapa gemenskap. Även i Ungerns huvudstad Budapest närs drömmar om en nationell identitet från en svunnen tid - men där tar man bort det som inte passar in. Med två miljoner invånare och till ytan något mindre än Dalarna, hör Makedonien till Europas minsta stater. Men problemen och utmaningarna är desto större. Dålig ekonomi, extremt hög arbetslöshet, genomsnittslöner på under 3000 kronor i månaden. Över tio procent av befolkningen har lämnat landet de senaste tio åren. Till detta, kommer etniska motsättningar mellan olika folkgrupper. De kulminerade i strider, som för 12 år sedan förde landet till randen av ett inbördeskrig, som kvästes i sista stund. Men spänningarna lever vidare. I huvudstaden Skopje byggs det idag för fullt. Regeringen satsar stora summor på monumentala skrytbyggen och statyer av historiska gestalter, för att skapa en makedonsk nationell identitet. Nationalismen är nödvändig för att landet ska överleva, säger förespråkare. Historieförfalskning, säger kritiker. För de länder som vill in i den Europeiska gemenskapen har EU spelat en viktig roll för att motverka chauvinism och främlingsfientlighet. Att respektera grundläggande demokratiska principer och mänskliga rättigheter är villkor för att överhuvudtaget förhandla om ett medlemskap. Den österrikiske ekonomen Gerald Knaus, har i flera år arbetat för internationella organisationer på Balkan, bland annat med fokus på nationsbygge. Nu leder han tankesmedjan European Stability Initiative, ESI, som följer EU:s arbete på Balkan. Gerald Knaus pekar ut Kroatien som det goda exemplet på hur EU kan motverka extrem nationalism. I Ungern är de nationalistiska strömmarna starka och liksom i Skopje, är delar av Budapest en stor byggarbetsplats. Budapests stadskarta har ömsat skinn flera gånger under de gångna 150 årens skiftande regimer. När en lång rad av stadens gator och torg på senare tid har döpts om så sker det för tredje, fjärde eller femte gången. Men den här gången nöjer sig stadens och landets makthavare inte bara med att byta ut namn på platser uppkallade efter personer eller händelser som fallit i onåd. Nu bygger man också fysiskt om föreställningen om Ungerns förflutna. I slutet av december förra året, skulle parlamentet i Skopje godkänna budgeten. Men oppositionen var mycket kritisk och inför omröstningen förde vakter på regeringens order, ut oppositionens ledamöter ur parlamentet. Händelsen fick stor uppmärksamhet och företrädare för flera EU-länder började ifrågasätta landets mognad för förhandlingar om ett EU-medlemskap. Makedonien står nu inför stora och svåra utmaningar. Samtal med Lars Wahlund, ambassadör i Makedonien, och som i höst tillträder ambassadörsposten i Ankara, Turkiet. Reporter Kristian Åström. Gäster i Konflikt: Peter Aronsson, professor i historia vid Linnéuniversitetet.
