Podcasts about rompuy

José De Cauwer en Eric van Rompuy blikken terug op de rijke carrière van Rik Van Looy. Barbara Moens over Zelenski die in Brussel is voor een NAVO-overleg en de EU-top. En Stef Willems over te veel alcohol drinken en toch rijden.

My colleague Henry Occelston hosted this podcast on my behalf. Shahin Vallée is a senior fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations (a German think tank) and also a Board Member overseeing Europe coverage at the Observatory group, a geopolitical macro-advisory firm. He was previously an economic advisor to the President of the European Council, Herman von Rompuy, and also an economic advisor to Emmanuel Macron while Macron was Economy Minister of France. This podcast covers why Macron called a snap election, how to interpret the first round of the election, why a far-right majority is still possible, and much more.  Follow us here for more amazing insights: https://macrohive.com/home-prime/ https://twitter.com/Macro_Hive https://www.linkedin.com/company/macro-hive

"De Vlaamse reflex van een hele generatie politici om erover te waken dat de Nederlandstaligen de hoofdstad mee kunnen besturen, is welhaast verdwenen." Dat zegt Eric Van Rompuy (CD&V) in A La Carte bij Luckas Vander Taelen."Voor het Vlaams-nationalistische N-VA is Brussel eerder een obstakel in hun confederale scenario. Zij maken na de verkiezingen van 2024 misschien samen met het Vlaams Belang de dienst uit in Vlaanderen."In zijn carrière van veertig jaar heeft de oud-volksvertegenwoordiger zowel Brussel als Vlaanderen zien veranderen. Aan CD&V, zijn eigen partij, geeft hij de raad om "minder grijs" maar met duidelijkere standpunten uit de hoek te komen.

Voor CD&V is het afschaffen van de kinderbijslag geen optie. Voor de partij is het vanzelfsprekend dat we als samenleving bijdragen aan de opvoedingskosten van kinderen, wee plukken er ook allemaal de vruchten van. Kinderbijslag en kinderopvang zijn in die zin complementair voor CD&V. In deze aflevering van Doorbraak Radio geven Katrien Schryvers en Peter Van Rompuy, beide Vlaams parlementslid voor CD&V, meer uitleg over hun visie op de investeringen in het groeipakket en de kinderopvang.Support the show (https://doorbraak.be/steun/)

What are Europe's geopolitics after Brexit? How has the balance of power between countries and between institutions been changed by Britain's departure? To find out I spoke to the historian and political philosopher Luuk Van Middelaar, the former adviser to the first full time President of the European Council, Herman van Rompuy. After Britain, and with the United States now competing with China, is the EU becoming a Eurasian power?

The covid-19 pandemic has been a severe test for the European Union as well as for its member-states: a test in which European cooperation has often been found wanting, in particular when it came to its vaccine programme. But this test has also led to a deepening of European solidarity, manifested most prominently in the European recovery fund.What have been the stresses and strains caused by the pandemic on the EU and the member-states? Has the EU managed to turn the pandemic into an argument for European cooperation, or will it go down  as having hindered the ability of the EU nations to respond? Will the EU emerge stronger or weaker from this crisis, and will the pandemic have pulled us together or apart?SpeakersIsabel de la Mata Barrancos, Principal Advisor for Health and Crisis management, European Commission, DG Health and Food SafetyDr Iveta Nagyova, President of the European Public Health Association, EUPHA & Head of Department (Social and Behavioural Medicine), Pavol Jozef Safarik University in Kosice, SlovakiaLuuk van Middelaar, Professor of Foundations and Practice of the European Union and its Institutions, Leiden University & former adviser to Herman van Rompuy, first President of the European CouncilChair: Dr Claudia Sternberg, Head of Academic Programming, UCL European Institute

Het tweede seizoen van Betrouwbare Bronnen eindigt met een verjaarscadeau. Daarin verenigen Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger de vaste elementen van hun podcast: politiek, actualiteit en historie, Brussel en Binnenhof. Speciale gast is professor Luuk van Middelaar die vanuit Brussel en Leiden de ontwikkelingen in de EU beschouwt. Hij was adviseur en speechschrijver van de eerste president van de Europese Raad, Herman van Rompuy.Het verjaarscadeau is een hommage aan Jacques Delors, de ereburger van Europa die op 20 juli 2020 95 jaar oud wordt. PG vertelt over hem en analyseert zijn werk en betekenis, ook uit persoonlijke waarneming en ervaring. Delors was tien jaar 'le Président' en maakte in dat decennium tussen 1985 en 1995 de Europese Commissie tot het krachtige centrum van de concrete uitvoering van alle Europese programma's.In die tien jaar veranderde de wereld en Europa. Delors had toen de Muur viel in feite de blauwdruk al klaarliggen voor een Europese Unie waarin nieuwe democratieën na decennia van onderdrukking en tirannie een plek konden vinden. Natuurlijk moest iedereen improviseren, maar dat raamwerk gaf richting en een stevig fundament.Delors stond aan de wieg van de interne Europese markt en van de euro. Op niets is hij zo trots als op het plan dat hij meteen na zijn start in 1985 in gang zette: het Erasmus Programma, dat het voor inmiddels miljoenen studenten mogelijk maakte elders in Europa te studeren. 'Le Père d'Erasme' is zijn favoriete eretitel. Luuk van Middelaar vertelt hoe hij als een van de eerste Nederlanders via Erasmus in Parijs aan de Sorbonne terecht kon. Het heeft zijn academische en persoonlijke loopbaan enorm beïnvloed.Vandaag, in de coronacrisis blijkt Delors nog steeds een man van grote invloed. Van Middelaar en Kroeger analyseren de impact van zijn interventie naar de EU-leiders. Niet in het minst in Duitsland dat nu de Unie voorzit. Op Twitter liet hij zijn Institut Delors melden: Jacques Delors verlaat zijn stilzwijgen: "Het klimaat dat lijkt te heersen tussen de staatshoofden en regeringsleiders en het gebrek aan Europese solidariteit vormen een dodelijk gevaar voor de Europese Unie. De microbe is terug."Zowel de timing als het vuur van Delors' boodschap bleken opnieuw die van een grootmeester in politieke strategie.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt door de Europese Commissie en door Weee Nederland ***Verder lezenBoeken van Luuk van MiddelaarJacques Delors: ‘Was ik maar minister van onderwijs geweest’***Verder kijkenInstitut Jacques DelorsRotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest speelt in coronatijd Ode An Die Freude***Verder luisterenBB 107 – Jean Monnet, de vader van EuropaBB 64 – Wim Kok, een leven op eigen kracht – gesprek met biograaf Marnix KropBB 42 – Merkels vertrouweling Elmar Brok: 40 jaar Europese geschiedenisBB 30 – Delors en Thatcher***Tijdlijn00:00:00 – Intro00:01:53 – Deel 100:35:21 – Deel 2 (Luuk van Middelaar)00:44:18 – Deel 300:51:56 – Deel 4 (Luuk van Middelaar)01:05:27 – Uitro01:08:12 – Einde

Vijf jaar lang was hij de politiek adviseur en speechwriter van Herman van Rompuy, de allereerste voorzitter van de Europese Raad. In die vijf jaar maakte historicus en filosoof Luuk van Middelaar vanuit de Europese cockpit een cruciale periode mee: het waren de jaren van de Eurocrisis, de oorlog in Oost-Oekraïne en de bezetting van de Krim, maar ook de komst van meer dan een miljoen vluchtelingen. Grote existentiële uitdagingen die de Europese Unie op haar grondvesten deden schudden. Een weerslag van die spannende jaren en vooral een analyse van wat alle crisis de EU heeft gebracht, is te lezen in zijn net verschenen boek “De nieuwe politiek van Europa”.

At the end of the 20th century, it looked like history was being made. After a century that had seen Europe dissolve into an orgy of bloody conflict not once but twice, the continent seemed to have changed its ways. It had spent the second half of the century building a system of shared sovereignty that was set to expand not just into the countries of the former Soviet bloc, but into what used to be the USSR itself. In the words of one author, Europe (or at least its model) was about to run the  21st century. Things look different now, of course, thanks to the impact of the financial crisis on the single currency, the euro. However  the European Union (as the project is currently named) has managed to burnish its image in some areas – for instance it now on the verge of covering 28 countries, and even managed to pick up a Nobel Peace Prize (somewhat controversially, although after the first half of the 20th century its role in keeping Europe largely at peace is certainly laudable). The project that lies at the heart of this is the subject of Luuk van Middelaar‘s The Passage to Europe: How a Continent Became a Union (Yale University Press, 2013). It’s not a history book as such, but more a book of political philosophy, that knits together a series of concepts, challenges, and constructs, that together have formed something that in the dark days of the immediate post-War period seemed a long, long way away. As such, it’s rather an important book. The continent and the European project have both been riven by crises over the last half decade, and some of the achievements Brussels can point to are now seriously threatened. Luuk – who has had a ringside seat of the crisis as the speechwriter for President Herman van Rompuy – has a look at the underpinnings that go beyond the immediate debates, and the insights this provides will no doubt play a role in shaping the European project (whatever it becomes) in decades to come.

Historian John Laughland questions the staying power of the European Union, he is currently serving as the Director of Studies at the institute of democracy & cooperation in Paris. Then listen to 3 of my favourite Nigel Farage rants, at the European Union. Nigel is the leader of the UK Independence Party, aka the Raging Bull. 1) Last week on the Irish crisis. 2) April 2010, Nigel describes Herman Van Rompuy as having the charisma of a damp rag & the appearance of a low grade bank clerk! 3) Listen to Nigel's 2006 rant: The who's, who in the EU Commission All on youtube:
