Germany's conservatives are celebrating after the country's snap election. Friedrich Merz is most likely to become the country's next chancellor. His centre-right Christian Democratic Union has topped votes at just under 29%, with far-right Alternative for Germany, AFD, inching more than 20%. Merz must now form a coalition, but has ruled out working with AFD. Director of Berlin's Global Public Policy Institute, Thorsten Benner told Andrew Dickens the only option is for the CDU to govern with the outgoing Social Democrats. He says it's one of the better outcomes, as only a two-party coalition is necessary. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At least 78 people died and hundreds more are missing at sea, presumed dead, after a boat carrying migrants from Libya to Italy capsized in international waters south-west of Greece early on Wednesday. This is one of Europe's worst migrant disasters, and is just the latest case of smugglers packing vessels full of desperate people willing to risk their lives to reach continental Europe. Angeliki Dimitriadi, a Non-Resident Fellow at the Global Public Policy Institute and the head of the migration policy unit at the ENA Institute for Alternative Policies, joins Thanos Davelis to look at the scope of this tragedy, break down the broader picture when it comes to migration and the smuggling of people in the Mediterranean, and explore how European countries are addressing this challenge.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:How migrant tragedy unfolded on the high seas off GreeceA look at migration trends behind the latest shipwreck off GreeceErdogan fumes over Greek armaments programDemographic problem under the spotlight

Nach dem Moskau-Besuch von Chinas Staatschef Xi Jinping stellt sich die Frage, wer zwischen Russland und der Ukraine eines Tages verhandeln kann. China wird dabei eine wichtige Rolle spielen, sagt der Politologe Thorsten Benner. Er ist Mitbegründer und Direktor des Global Public Policy Institute, einer Denkfabrik in Berlin und erklärt im Podcast, warum die Führung in Peking sich plötzlich auch politisch in die Weltpolitik einmischt und warum Russland für China mehr ist als eine Tankstelle oder Rohstofflieferant.

Every day, civilians suffer in violent conflicts attacked by armed forces, militias and rebel groups. These attacks have left many dead or injured, and caused millions to be forcibly displaced. However, most attempts to address these issues are done by influencing conflict parties to cease attacks on civilians, instead of enhancing the protection of civilians in places affected by violent conflict. In this episode, we discuss the Global Public Policy Institute's report on preventive protection efforts that hinder future harms rather than mitigating the effects of past violations, “The logic of protection approaches: Four models to safeguard civilians from harm”, and what can be done to increase protection of civilian, using examples from Iraq. We are joined by: Julia Steets, Director of the Global Public Policy Institute in Berlin, Germany. Zmkan Ali, Research Director at the Institute of Regional and International Studies at the American University in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq.

In this Warpod episode, we look at the concept of stabilisation. What does it mean? What challenges does it bring? And how should we tackle these challenges?

Eine Zeitenwende hat Kanzler Scholz als Reaktion auf den russischen Einmarsch in der Ukraine ausgerufen. Die Ampel will aufrüsten und dafür viel Geld ausgeben. Sie plant die Bundeswehr mit einem 100 Milliarden Euro schweren Sondervermögen aus- und aufzurüsten. Doch das muss erst durch den Bundestag, der heute erstmals über diese Investition debattiert. Wofür das Geld ausgegeben werden soll, darüber hat Sabine Strasser mit Philipp Rotmann, Direktor am Global Public Policy Institute in Berlin, und mit unserer Hauptstadt-Korrespondentin Eva Huber gesprochen.

Die Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock sagt: Frauen sind besonders betroffen vom Krieg. Das stimmt, sie sind beispielsweise besonders gefährdet, Opfer sexualisierter Gewalt zu werden. Dennoch nehmen Frauen nicht nur passive Rollen ein. Der Frauenanteil im ukrainischen Militär ist sogar besonders hoch: Vor der russischen Invasion waren schätzungsweise 23 Prozent der ukrainischen Streitkräfte weiblich. . Julia Friedrich - die am Global Public Policy Institute in Berlin forscht - erklärt im KATAPULT-Podcast, welche Rolle Frauen in der ukrainischen Armee spielen, mit welchen Problemen sie im Kampfeinsatz konfrontiert sind und was am Faschismus-Vorwurf gegenüber Veteraninnen dran ist.

Das weiße "Z" ist ein Symbol, das im Moment viel in den sozialen Medien geteilt wird, sich auf T-Shirts, Autos und russischen Panzern wiederfindet. Woher es wirklich kommt, weiß bisher niemand, sagt Julia Friedrich vom Global Public Policy Institute in Berlin. Aktuell wird es aber als Zeichen für den russischen Krieg gebraucht - und von der russischen Regierung zur innenpolitischen Mobilisierung des Landes und zur Einschüchterung der Kräfte, die gegen den Krieg sind, eingesetzt.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz makes his first visit to the US since taking office in December. He and Joe Biden held a press conference where the US President declared his confidence in German as a dependable ally amid concerns Scholz had been slow to react to events in Ukraine. We speak to Thorsten Benner of the Global Public Policy Institute in Berlin. Around the world people and businesses are feeling the pinch as the cost of living goes up - the BBC's Tamasin Ford looks at what's causing price rises. A new report criticises some of the biggest companies in the world for lacking integrity in their green claims and climate promises - we hear from the the report's co-author Thomas Day of the New Climate Institute. The BBC's Jessica Murphy reports from the so-called freedom convoy in Ottowa in Canada, and the Chinese authorities reinstate the original ending to the movie Fight Club, after inventing their own ending two weeks ago.

Russia has been rejecting accusations from the US and Europe that it's preparing to invade Ukraine as early as next month. In a series of demands, it wants NATO and the US to reduce their presence in eastern Europe to defuse the crisis, which Western countries say they're unwilling to compromise on. So, does diplomacy still stand a chance? Join host Hashem Ahelbarra. With guests: Pavel Felgenhauer - Military Analyst and Columnist for Novaya Gazeta. Thorsten Benner - Co-founder and director of the Global Public Policy Institute. David DesRoches - Professor at National Defense University.

There have been growing calls for a united European defence strategy to confront security threats and global crises. Leaders including EU Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen have highlighted the need for the bloc to increase its military capabilities. But can the EU survive without NATO and the United States? Join host Hazem Sika. With guests:  Thorsten Benner – Co-founder and director of the Global Public Policy Institute. Theresa Fallon – Director of Centre for Russia Europe Asia Studies. Glenn Diesen – Professor of International Relations at the University of South-Eastern Norway.

The COVID-19 outbreak in Brazil is turning from bad to worse. According to some scientific models, more people may be infected with COVID-19 in Brazil than in the US. While politicians in Brasilia are divided about what to do, experts say none has an effective strategy. In this episode Joel Sandhu speaks to Oliver Stuenkel, a non-resident fellow at the Global Public Policy Institute and an associate professor of international relations at Gétulio Vargas Foundation in São Paulo, Brazil. They discuss the impact COVID-19 is having on Brazil's politics, economy, and most importantly on its people. The Global Strain Podcast is produced by the team at Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) in Berlin and supported by the Robert Bosch Stiftung.

Die Coronapandemie wirft Fragen zur länderübergreifenden Verantwortung auf. "Die ersten Wochen waren katastrophal", sagt Thorsten Benner vom Global Public Policy Institute. "Wir müssen solidarisch sein mit unseren Nachbarn und über Europa hinaus."

In dieser Folge spricht Sarah Brockmeier mit Tobias Schneider, Research Fellow am Global Public Policy Institute, über die Situation in Idlib in Syrien, russische und türkische Interessen und verbleibende Politikoptionen für Deutschland und die Europäische Union. Tobias Schneider arbeitet seit 2018 als Research Fellow bei uns beim GPPi. Dabei fokussiert er sich in erster Linie auf den Nahen Osten und insbesondere Syrien. Bereits seit vielen Jahren beschäftigte er sich an der Uni, als Berater und Forscher mit dem Syrienkrieg. Seit knapp zwei Jahren arbeitet Tobias an einer Datenbank, die akribisch den Einsatz von Chemiewaffen in Syrien dokumentiert. Zusammen mit unserer Kollegin Theresa Lütkefend veröffentlichte Tobias Anfang 2019 auch eine Studie zu den Daten, in denen sie 336 Einsätze von Chemiewaffen in Syrien seit 2011 dokumentieren. Tobias Schneider argumentiert, dass insbesondere die Bundesregierung, aber auch die gesamte europäische Politik ein fundamentales Interesse daran haben, in einer einheitlichen und koordinierten Antwort Druck auf Russland auszuüben und die Türkei zu unterstützen. Denn sollten Russland und das Assad-Regime ihre militärische Offensive in Idlib wieder aufnehmen und die Türkei militärisch zurückdrängen, wären mehr als zwei Millionen Menschen in Idlib in akuter Lebensgefahr. Und mehrere hunderttausend Menschen hätten keine andere Wahl als in die Türkei und nach Europa zu fliehen.

Im Gespräch mit der Wirtschaftswissenschaftlerin Dr. Salam Said und dem Politikberater Tobias Schneider geht es in dieser Folge um die aktuelle Situation in Syrien und verschiedene Wege, wie sich Deutschland und die Europäische Union dort engagieren könnten und sollten. Die beide machen konkrete Vorschläge: von Investitionen in Gebieten, die nicht vom Assad-Regime kontrolliert werden, über Sanktionen gegen Einzelpersonen und Unternehmen bis zur Strafverfolgung von syrischen Kriegsverbrechern in Deutschland und der politischen Arbeit mit der syrischen Diaspora, um an langfristigen politischen Visionen für Syrien zu arbeiten. Dr. Salam Said ist Wirtschaftswissenschaftlerin. Sie kommt aus Syrien und hat dort Wirtschaftswissenschaften studiert und ein Diplom von der Universität Damaskus erhalten, bevor sie an der Universität Bremen promoviert hat. Seit 2009 forscht und unterrichtet Salam zur Wirtschafts-und Handelspolitik arabischer Staaten sowie der politischen Ökonomie Syriens. Sie ist seit 2010 Lehrbeauftragte an verschiedenen deutschen Universitäten, koordiniert Entwicklungsprojekte und hat zu diesen Themen zahlreiche Zeitschriftenartikel und Policy Papers veröffentlicht.

Wir sind zu Gast in der Denkfabrik des Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) und treffen Friedens- und Konfliktforscherin Sarah Brockmeier. Sarah beschäftigt sich mit deutscher Außenpolitik, Völkermordvermeidung & Friedenssicherung. Letztes Jahr erschien ihr Buch "Krieg vor der Haustür: Die Gewalt in Europas Nachbarschaft und was wir dagegen tun können" (Dietz-Verlag), das sie mit Philipp Rotmann geschrieben hat. Mit Sarah geht's zunächst einmal um ihren Werdegang und wie sie zur Konfliktforschung gekommen ist. Kann man Frieden studieren? Wozu müssen wir uns Krisen in anderen Teilen der Welt beschäftigen? Was geht uns das an? Was ist überhaupt eine "Krise"? Warum wurde der Völkermord in Ruanda in den 1990ern nicht verhindert? Hätte er verhindert werden können? Woran erkennt man einen Völkermord? Und was hat "Responsibility to Protect" der Vereinten Nationen damit zu tun? Was für ein Think Tank ist das GPPi? Wer finanziert es? Gibt es eine politische Ausrichtung? Welche geopolitischen Interessen hat Deutschland? Wieso sind wir in der NATO am besten aufgehoben? Was kommt nach der NATO? Braucht es eine europäische Armee? Wie blickt Sarah auf die deutsche Waffenexportpolitik? Warum sind Rüstungsexporte wichtig für uns? Ist es richtig, Waffen an Saudi-Arabien zu verkaufen? Wieso soll Deutschland "internationale Verantwortung" übernehmen? Was ist mit diesem "Engagement" gemeint? Müssen am Ende mehr deutsche Soldaten in Kriege geschickt werden? Wir blicken auf entscheidene deutsche Kriegseinsätze zurück wie Jugoslawien und Afghanistan. Außerdem geht's um Heiko Maas, US-Atombomben und Drohnenangriffe via Ramstein. Das und vieles, vieles mehr in Folge 412 - wir haben sie am 2. Mai im Berliner Büro vom "Global Public Policy Institute" aufgezeichnet.

The Stammtisch podcast is sending some love to the Munich Security Conference this week — an event not usually known for its romance. Join host Damien McGuinness, DW correspondent Fabian von der Mark, Sarah Brockmeier from the Global Public Policy Institute and Kristina Lunz of the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy to look at peacekeeping and defense in the most romantic way possible.

The future is a topic that inspires speculation, fear and hope. In a world of rapid change and growing insecurity, scenario planning is a method that can provide a way to structure our thinking and foster much-needed debates. It deserves more attention. In this episode, our strategic foresight expert Johannes Gabriel is back with us to elaborate on scenario planning. The 27 fellows from nine different countries participating in GGF 2030 use the scenario planning method to look ahead 10 years and consider ways to better address global challenges. In May 2018, the GGF fellows met for the first time in Washington, DC, where Johannes introduced them to the basics of scenario planning. Back in Berlin now, he shares his insights and gives us a closer look into what scenario planning is about. Johannes is a non-resident fellow at the Global Public Policy Institute, and has lead the GGF program’s scenario planning method since 2010. He’s the founder and director of Foresight Intelligence, a systemic consultancy based in Berlin. Johannes also teaches scenario planning at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies.

The migration and refugee challenge is probably the biggest challenge the European Union has faced in recent years. The EU is divided on how to handle the internal and external dimensions of the so-called migration crisis. And the issue has not only become a security challenge, but also a tool in the fight for political power and identity, which populist movements across Europe try to exploit for their own gains. What’s more, the question of how to handle asylum seekers also threatens the stability of governments within EU member states, as recently witnessed in Germany. While some EU member states are seeking EU-wide agreement and coordinated action to address the migration and refugee challenge, others refuse to accept any obligations regarding the redistribution of migrants or the reform of the Dublin system, which stipulates that the asylum request by a third country national is to be presented in the first European country in which the person arrives and where he or she was identified by local authorities. In this episode, Joel Sandhu talks to Julian Lehmann about the current situation, failures, and challenges in Europe when it comes to migration and refugees. Julian is a project manager at the Global Public Policy Institute in Berlin and was previously a protection consultant for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Morocco.

Auch unabhängig von US Präsident Trump und den rechtspopulistischen und protektionistischen Bewegungen, die er repräsentiert, werden sich die USA von Europa ab und vermehrt der Herausforderung durch China in der pazifischen Region zuwenden. Im Gespräch über die USA und Europa skizziert Thorsten Benner vom Global Public Policy Institute in Berlin die Folgen dieser Entwicklung für Europa. Es sei historisch eher unwahrscheinlich, so Benner, dass ein reiches Land wie die USA die Sicherheit einer anderen reichen Region wie Europa garantiere, die auch noch der stärkste wirtschaftliche Konkurrent sei. Wir treten in eine neue Epoche der Geopolitik ein, in der die NATO weniger als Werte-, sondern als Sicherheitsgemeinschaft die Basis für erneuerte transatlantische Beziehungen bilden muss. Ohne diese transatlantische Absicherung wird es in Europa zu erhöhtem Mißtrauen und wahrscheinlich auch zu schweren Konflikten kommen

In this episode of Intercross the Podcast, we speak with Erica Gaston, an international lawyer and project manager at the Global Public Policy Institute in Berlin, to discuss the legal aspects and humanitarian consequences of the use of self-defense in armed conflict. International humanitarian law addresses the rules for soldiers, armies and States, when they conduct offensive attacks, but it does not directly address the rules governing self-defense. So what are the limits on the use of force when individuals and units are defending themselves in combat situations?
