In the final instalment of our New Frontlines mini-series, we look at the ideological fault-lines that are dividing countries from within. Identity, values and fears are being weaponised by those on the political extremes, and it's working.

Talking Europe hosts one of the EU Commission's vice-presidents, Margaritis Schinas, who is in charge of overseeing the promotion of the European Way of Life. That includes fighting anti-Semitism, racism and discrimination in various forms. Schinas also coordinates the Commission's work on the Migration and Asylum Pact, which is entering a critical period in negotiations between the Council, the Commission and the European Parliament. Schinas tells Armen Georgian he is optimistic that the Pact will be completed before the EU elections next June, and that this will be a key part of the legacy of Ursula von der Leyen's Commission.
EU rejects the bans on Ukrainian grain imports introduced by Poland and Hungary. Hungary and Poland have been on opposite sides of the spectrum of reactions to Russia's war on Ukraine but remain aligned on their internal challenge to EU institutions. Reports mount of a bipartisan US Congress bill being drafted to sanction leading political figures in the Orbán's government. Last week, the US sanctioned three of the IIB's officials, including Russian Chairman Nikolai Kosov and Hungarian Deputy Chairman Imre Laszlocki. In the second part of the podcast, Editorial Director Miles R. Maftean sits down with Filip Konopczyński (Panoptykon Foundation) to discuss the European way to regulate artificial intelligence and emerging technologies and of the amended EU AI Bill aimed at curbing this potentially dangerous revolutionary tool.

"Ballots in boxes!" is the central preoccupation of Democrats Abroad's Vote from Abroad coordinator. Heidi Burch joins David and Rachel to talk about votegfromabroad.org, the non-partisan voter registration portal operated by Democrats Abroad. Heidi outlines multiple reasons for registering via votefromabroad.org instead of directly with your state, what it takes to keep the site up-to-the-minute in the face of changing regulations, and how easy it is for overseas voters to get help in registering. Plus, you'll learn who does the snow shovelling in Rachel's house, what David has against librarians, and what it means to unremember personal information "the European Way."
Using Europe as the model, privacy regulations worldwide are taking a strong turn toward punishment-based regulatory models. But is that the way that American privacy laws should go? What about offering a little carrot instead of all stick? More on Stuart Brotman. SPEAKERS Wayne Stacy, Stuart Brotman Wayne Stacy 00:00 Welcome, everyone to the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology's Expert Series Podcast. I'm the Executive Director of BCLT, Wayne Stacy. Recently, there's been significant criticism of tech companies and a lot of call for government regulation, especially in the area of data privacy. Depending on who you ask, tech companies are either out of control, or they're being unfairly blamed for the behavior of their users. So the question is, where's tech policy going and what is a healthy way to analyze these options? To guide us through this important discussion today, we have one of the nation's leading experts on tech policy development. Stewart Brotman, He's professor of Media Management and law at the University of Tennessee, a Distinguished Fellow at the Media Institute, and not a prerequisite for being on the BCLT podcast, but definitely a nice add. He's a Berkeley Law grad. So Stewart, thank you for joining us. Stuart Brotman 01:00 Thanks, Wayne. It's a pleasure to be here. Wayne Stacy 01:03 Well, Stuart, I want to just start at the highest level possible. You know, a lot of times when we talk about tech policy and tech regulation, people just immediately jump into the minutiae. But at a 30,000 foot level, tell us how effective the tech industry has been in helping to shape the digital privacy policy at the national level? Stuart Brotman 01:26 Well, I think a lot of it has been reactive, it'd be somewhat critical, I would say. And this is not different than virtually every other industry that operates in Washington. Typically, it operates reflexively, meaning that it waits for Congress to take a lead in the area and then offer some pushback. I think the tech area is quite different, just because it's so dynamic. And developments happen so quickly, that Congress clearly is not in the position to have an overall framework for tech policy, and often it needs to be educated and guided by the industry first. So I think there needs to be a much better interplay if we wanted to think of it as being proactive versus reactive, I would say at the 30,000 foot level, my perception is that I think the tech policy area has been quite reactive. And certainly the industry has great lobbying resources. But I think most of them have been directed at how to react to specific developments as opposed to this much larger area. Here's why it's important from a political standpoint, as we all saw the election returns from this week, and where the tea leaves seem to be guiding us, and looks highly likely that we are going to not have a unified White House, House and Senate under democratic control, beginning in 2023. And obviously, 2022 is an election year. What that means is that I think many of the themes and perspectives can change quite dramatically. And if I were to have one 30 thousand foot recommendation for the tech policy community, it's to begin to think of strategic areas of development in the new Congress in the 118th Congress. At this point, I think it's safe to say there probably is not going to be any federal privacy legislation that will be enacted in the 117th Congress, and it doesn't look like the Biden administration is going to be pushing any specific legislation. So that means that we're going to be deferring this for at least another
In this “Secure In Mind” episode, Despina Spanou, Head of Cabinet of the Vice-President of the European Commission Margaritis Schinas, was kind enough to join us for a second time on all things EU. Ardent supporters will note that Despina has been on the podcast before in her previous role as Director for Digital Society, Trust and Cybersecurity for Communications Network, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT) What is it to be European? (Well I'm an Australian so I'll ask you, dear audience!). What is it to be Italian? Or French? Or Greek? Is it the type of food grown and eaten from a specific location on a map? Is it the invisible line drawn by the ‘powers that be' to delineate one from the other? Who exactly are those ‘powers that be' who are drawing lines all over the place and why did ‘they' start doing that? Ok so I'm not even going to try to conduct a Yuval Harari-an analysis of the historical and geo-political structures that have coalesced over the course of human history leading to the European Union… Google it, it's remarkable. In this podcast episode, however, it was my absolute pleasure to welcome Despina Spanou back to the podcast to shed light on what the bloc is doing right now to support its citizens at this time. As time was limited for this conversation, we didn't touch on all of the areas that we could have; there are obviously a never-ending stream of challenges and opportunities faced by Despina and her team when trying to promote the European Way of Life at this critical juncture in time. The primary take-away for listeners should be this: Despina and indeed so many of the people working for the union are working 28 hours a day 8 days a week to carry the torch of hope in an international, peaceful and incorporative framework that was generated the day the EU was born. So, listen (and skip my damn 2 minute meandering introduction if time is tight!) share and take your hat of for the folk on the citizens' payroll paving the way for a better future in a time of uncertainty.

The Secure in Mind project Our mission is to greatly increase and encourage community discussion about technological and ethical issues that have done, are and will impact society on a global scale. There is a longstanding and distinct disconnect between the way information is packaged and presented to the public and the effectiveness of this presentation in terms of generating informed, considered debate. Nick Kelly Bio Nick is someone who, in many senses, is just like you; a human being trying to make sense of this existence of ours as we hurtle around a ball of gas in a sea of infinite eternity. More relevant though are his vacillations in the world amongst diverse countries and environments Collaborating, negotiating, elaborating and celebrating with fascinating people from all walks of life including politics, technology, activism, military and intelligence the world over. He brings this unique breadth of perspective to the table and has a dogged interest in pursuing the human story behind the title or policy, appreciating the fact that underneath all of our bravado, political correctness and dichotomous states of creation and destruction, we are, after all, merely mortals trying to make the best of it.

Our guest is former Greek MEP and EU Commission spokesperson Margaritis Schinas, who is now the EU Commission Vice-President for Promoting the European Way of Life. Speaking to FRANCE 24's Catherine Nicholson, he discussed the planned new EU migration pact ahead of an upcoming EU summit, plus the situation of child migrants in Greece and a possible relaunch of EU Mediterranean search and rescue operations. Schinas also shared his thoughts on EU racial diversity and representation in the bloc's institutions following recent worldwide protests against racism.
This week on Burst the Bubble, we continue our conversation on communicating Europe and bridging the gap between citizens and institutions. This time we take the point of view of the European Commission, which, under Ursula von der Leyen, has committed to bring new impetus to the democratic process and citizens' involvement in EU affairs. Our guest is the former Chief Spokesperson of the Juncker Commission, now Vice-President of the Commission, leading the newly created portfolio on "Promoting the European Way of Life". Together we discuss the state of EU identity and equal distribution of information across the Union.

"We have a duty to show that the Commission and the Brussels' institutions are able to burst the Brussels' bubble"... Doesn't this sound familiar?
In this episode, Kevin and Michael look at the President-elect of the European Commission's new agenda, part of which Ursula von der Leyen titled "Protecting our European way of life". Many (social) media reactions followed, espically after people realised migration would be part of this pillar.
Carola is still working from sunny but cold Turku in Finland, and Richard joins from rainy UK. They cover the fifth chapter of the guidelines, starting by making sense of the controversy around the commissioner titles, especially the commissioner for “Protecting our European Way of Life”, which of course was the subject of the last podcast episode. Getting entangled in the definitions of multilateralism, they managed to extract themselves simply to ensnare themselves back into a discussion around free trade. And what exactly should fair trade be in an era of green new deals, and can one use trade agreements to afford third countries to become more globally environmentally sustainable. Mercosur comes up, just as supply chains, WTO, chlorinated chicken, asbestos and GMO food labelling. And with UK rapidly moving towards the next Brexit deadline, Rich likens our relationship to the EU to being like a teacher and their most annoying kid at school. But the political guidelines feature the UK specifically and thus demonstrate the foreign policy and international relationship skills for which the EU is fast becoming famous.

Themen: Nahostkonflikt, Strategie zur Reduzierung von Lebensmittelverschwendung, Aufstellung der Sicherheitsbehörden im Kampf gegen Rechtsextremismus, Benennung von EU-Kommissionsressorts, Krise zwischen den USA und dem Iran, genehmigungspflichtige Ausfuhr von Gütern nach Hongkong, Benennung der neuen Drogenbeauftragten, Anstieg der Ankunftszahlen auf den griechischen Inseln, Teilnehmerliste zur China-Reise der Bundeskanzlerin, Vorschlag für eine Klimastiftung Naive Fragen zu: Annexion der Westbank (ab 1:40) - wie bewerten Sie denn die Aussagen des israelischen Premierministers, die Westbank bzw. Teile des Westjordanlands zu annektieren? - Was wären dann die Konsequenzen? - Sie sagen ja selbst, dass es illegal wäre, dass es völkerrechtswidrig wäre. Das würde ja automatische Konsequenzen bedeuten, oder? - Es gab ja auch Gewalt, und zwar sowohl von palästinensischer als auch von israelischer Seite, auf Gaza. Wie bewerten Sie das? (ab 4:38) - Verurteilen Sie die Angriffe auf Gaza? EU-Kommission (ab 8:25) - mich würde von Ihnen als Kommunikationschef interessieren, wie die Bundesregierung die Umbenennung einiger Kommissare in der EU bewertet. Die designierte Kommissionspräsidentin hat neue Namen angekündigt. - Mir geht es um das Framing und die Umbenennung, zum Beispiel des Migrationskommissars, der jetzt „Commissioner for Protecting our European Way of Life“ genannt werden soll. Das ist ein rechtsradikales Framing; das nutzen ja Rechtsradikale: unser „European way of life“. Das wird gerne von Muslimenfeinden usw. genannt. Finden Sie das unproblematisch? - Sie sehen das rechtsradikale Framing hier nicht? Neue Drogenbeauftragte (ab 13:54) - Es gibt eine neue Drogenbeauftragte, Frau Ludwig. Es würde mich interessieren, warum sie das geworden ist. Welche Qualifikationen bringt sie für dieses Amt mit? - Wer sucht das denn aus? Die CSU-Landesgruppe oder der Gesundheitsminister? - Es ist interessant, dass Sie selbst sagen, dass sie noch nicht qualifiziert dafür ist; so verstehe ich das jetzt. Aber die Frage war ja: Wer sucht aus, wer die Drogenbeauftragte wird? Ist das Herr Spahn oder die CSU-Landesgruppe? - Also hat Herr Spahn das entschieden? Flüchtlingslager auf griechischen Inseln (ab 16:25) - Da wir vorhin das Thema mit den Kommissionsnamen hatten: Herr Seibert, passt denn die Lage in diesen Lagern in Griechenland zu unserem „way of life“, zu der europäischen Lebensweise? (ab 19:04) - Ist denn die Situation für die Menschen in den Lagern die europäische Lebensweise, Herr Seibert? Merkels Reise nach China (22:01) - es sind ein paar mitfliegende Gäste der Kanzlerin nach China schon bekannt. Könnten Sie uns vielleicht die komplette Liste der Wirtschaftsvertreter und anderer Vertreter nachreichen, die die Kanzlerin nach China begleitet haben? Altmaiers Klimastiftung (22:45) - Eine Frage an das BMU: Der Wirtschaftsminister möchte eine Klimastiftung und stellt sich da etwas vor. Wie reagieren denn die Umweltministerin und ihr Ministerium darauf? Ist das eine gute Idee für Klimaschutzpolitik? - Aber ich habe jetzt das Umweltministerium gefragt. Es geht ja um eine Klimastiftung. Ist das sinnvoll? - Sie haben keine Haltung dazu?

Carola and Rich join across two seas, Carola connects from Turku in Finland, and Rich is still in dizzyingly chaotic Brexitland. But they don’t let the current stunts by Boris Johnson, a parliament prorogation and (non-)constitutional battles phase them and they keep focussing on EU Commission President Von Der Leyen’s Political Guidelines, including chatting about how open and closed borders should be, border and internal security, and whilst ranting about supermarkets and Amazon, they make a case on how trade should always refrain to be an end in itself, as Von Der Leyen suggests, and aim to support a shared wealth.

On the show we discuss the recent mass killings in America and their relationship to white supremacy. We also discuss the new "Rich Paul Rule" and Eddie Glaude's recent remarks about racism in America.
Is there a European way to understand and manage intellectual property (IP)? Since the 18th century, Europe has always been at the forefront of innovation and competitiveness, as explained by Benoît Battistelli, who held various roles in French government departments and embassies before serving as Director General of the French National Institute for Industrial Property. and then President of the European Patent Office, one of the five largest IP offices in the world (7,000 staff), from 2010 to 2018. Currently, Mr. Battistelli is President of theAdministrative Board of the Center for International Intellectual Property Studies (CEIPI), Strasbourg, France. He shares his vision of the IP landscape and its challenges, particularly related to innovation and reforms to gain more efficiency.Every two weeks, on Tuesday, Brand & New gives the floor to inspiring individuals, with a 360-degree vision, to help brand owners, intellectual property lawyers, and marketing and finance professionals (and beyond!) stay curious and agile in an ever-evolving business environment.

Hast du schon etwas vom Europawahlkampf mitbekommen? Wir so gut wie gar nicht. Dabei steht in weniger als zwei Monaten die Wahl für das Europaparlament an. Und bei dieser geht es um einiges, denn die Abgeordneten entscheiden u.a. über Handelsverträge mit anderen Großmächten (TTIP), den Schutz unserer Daten gegenüber Großkonzernen (DSGVO), ob ein Land der EU beitreten oder sie verlassen kann (UK), über 145 Milliarden Euro im Jahr (EU-Budget) und auch darüber wer Präsident der Europäischen Kommission wird! Warum beschäftigt sich trotz dieser Machtfülle kaum jemand mit der Europawahl 2019? Es fehlt eine europäische Öffentlichkeit. Wir haben in Folge 27 darum Johannes Hillje zu Gast, der für dieses Problem einen Lösungsvorschlag hat: Die “Plattform Europa”, ein neues digitales Netzwerk, das die EU-BürgerInnen aus 27 verschiedenen Ländern und mit unterschiedlichen Sprachen zusammenbringen soll für europäische Diskussionen und einen “European Way of Life”.

French President Emmanuel Macron gave a speech at VivaTech in Paris, alternating between French and English. He defended a third way to regulate tech companies, which is different from the U.S. and from China. Macron thinks Europe should have a say when it comes to regulation — and it shouldn't be just about privacy. Of course, he defended GDPR and online privacy, but he also talked about taxes, cyberbullying, the protection of independent workers and more.

To begin laying some of the groundwork for the upcoming miniseries on the history of modern guerrilla and unconventional war, here's a discussion of two different paradigms of what war is supposed to be and how it is supposed to be fought. One is the Western (or European) Way, which originated in Greece and from […] Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
What can the United States learn from Europe? One good answer, says Steven Hill, is social capitalism, a form of economic management that is responsive to markets and productive of broadly-shared prosperity. First known for his work on electoral reform in the United States, Hill began travelling through Europe in the late 90’s to study the use of proportional representation (PR) in European elections. Once there, his research agenda gradually broadened to include European approaches to healthcare, corporate governance, support for families, transportation, energy, media, and other policies that together constitute what Hill calls “The European Way,” as compared to “The American Way.” This comparison is laid out with clarity and a wealth of examples in Hill’s highly-readable book Europe’s Promise: Why the European Way is the Best Hope in an Insecure Age (University of California Press, 2010). In the first half of this interview, we discuss the compatibility of European healthcare systems with thriving economies, focusing on models from Germany for controlling costs and increasing transparency. Hill explains how Europe manages to maintain more Fortune 500 companies than the U.S. and China combined, while at the same time offering benefits to workers like paid maternity leave, generous vacations, paid sick leave, and low-cost child care. We also discuss CEO perspectives on codetermination–a form of corporate power-sharing among workers and management–in German companies like Deutsche Bank, Mercedes, and Volkswagen. In the second half of the interview, we take up the American side of the question. I ask Steven if European-style policies are only possible in small countries with PR, or if they are also possible in a large country without PR, like the United States. Hill describes what it would it take for U.S. states to enact similar policies and where, if anywhere, that is most likely to happen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I ask Steven if European-style policies are only possible in small countries with PR, or if they are also possible in a large country without PR, like the United States. Hill describes what it would it take for U.S. states to enact similar policies and where, if anywhere, that is most likely to happen.
What can the United States learn from Europe? One good answer, says Steven Hill, is social capitalism, a form of economic management that is responsive to markets and productive of broadly-shared prosperity. First known for his work on electoral reform in the United States, Hill began travelling through Europe in the late 90’s to study the use of proportional representation (PR) in European elections. Once there, his research agenda gradually broadened to include European approaches to healthcare, corporate governance, support for families, transportation, energy, media, and other policies that together constitute what Hill calls “The European Way,” as compared to “The American Way.” This comparison is laid out with clarity and a wealth of examples in Hill’s highly-readable book Europe’s Promise: Why the European Way is the Best Hope in an Insecure Age (University of California Press, 2010). In the first half of this interview, we discuss the compatibility of European healthcare systems with thriving economies, focusing on models from Germany for controlling costs and increasing transparency. Hill explains how Europe manages to maintain more Fortune 500 companies than the U.S. and China combined, while at the same time offering benefits to workers like paid maternity leave, generous vacations, paid sick leave, and low-cost child care.

A roundtable discussion on professor Johan P. Olsen's recent book 'Governing through Institution Building. Institutional Theory and Recent European Experiments in Democratic Organization' from Georg Sverdrup Hus at the University of Oslo on Friday 14th of January 2011.
Guest Steven Hill, Director, Political Reform Program, New America Foundation, speaks with Diane Horn about his book "Europe's Promise: Why the European Way is the Best Hope in an Insecure Age."
A quiet revolution has been occurring in post-World War II Europe. A world power has emerged across the Atlantic that is re-crafting the rules for how a modern society should provide economic security, environmental sustainability, and global stability. During this time of economic crisis and global warming, how do the United States and members of the European Union really compare in terms of sustainable economic growth and trade, political engagement, social policy, and the deployment of renewable energy technologies? With a similar standard of living, universal health care and comprehensive social systems, and smaller ecological “footprint”, what lessons can the US learn from the European model? In his new book Europe Promise: Why the European Way is the Best Hope in an Insecure Age, Steven Hill explains Europe new vision, shatters myths, and shows how Europe leadership manifests in several major areas: economic strength, with Europe now the world wealthiest trading bloc, producing nearly a third of the world’s economy, almost as large as the U.S. and China combined; arguably the best health care and other social supports for families and individuals; widespread use of renewable energy technologies and conservation; and regional networks of trade, foreign aid, and investment that link one-third of the world to the European Union’s 27 member states and nearly a half billion citizens.

Strong action in the area is needed to future-proof the EU's economy and society.The new Cybersecurity Strategy proposes to integrate cybersecurity into every element of the supply chain and bring further together EU's activities and resources across the four communities of cybersecurity – internal market, law enforcement, diplomacy and defence.This video shows the joint press conference given by Josep Borrell Fontelles, Margaritis Schinas and Thierry Breton and the following question and answer session.
On 28 May 202020, Margaritis Schinas, Vice-President of the European Commission in charge of promoting our European Way of Life, and Stella Kyriakides, European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, gave a press conference on the EU4Health programme.EU4Health will make a significant contribution to the post-COVID-19 recovery by making the EU population healthier, strengthening the resilience of health systems, and promoting innovation in the health sector. This new programme will also fill the gaps revealed by the COVID-19 crisis and ensure that EUs health systems are resilient enough to face new and future health threats.The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the need to significantly boost the EU's preparedness and capability to respond effectively to major cross border health threats.
