Clingendael Institute: ‘EU election platform’

logo.png



Leading experts from different Member States share the answers to all your questions such as what are the most important themes within the Member States, perceptions of the EU and what is the ratio between pro-European and Eurosceptic voices?

The campaigns for the European elections are into full swing. What are the most important themes of the election debates in the Member States? What are the dividing lines or agreements between Dutch political parties on these themes? And how are they discussed in other Member States?



The campaigns for the European elections in May are coming into full swing. Though the elections are European in nature, parties are inclined to campaign and operate nationally - in the absence of transnational electoral lists. As a consequence, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that the final election results, and subsequent EU agenda, also depend on the interests and concerns of voters in other Member States. Therefore, the Clingendael Institute launches an ‘EU election platform’, which aims to place the most important election themes in the Netherlands in a broader European context.

What are the most important themes of the election debates in the Member States? What are the dividing lines or agreements between Dutch political parties on these themes? And how are they discussed in other Member States? What is the ratio between pro-European and Eurosceptic voices in societies? How are European institutions, and the European Parliament in particular, perceived? And what is expected of the European Union in the different Member States? In the run-up to the European elections, this EU elections platform delivers the answers to all of these questions and more, provided by leading experts from different Member States.

    It is of historical importance that th European Union continues its existence.
    No time in history the human race was living in a peaceful setting such as it does now
    wihin the E.U. It is a success that sets a precedent and draws the path for the future.

    The harmonious relationships with the United States are sine qua non to the benefit of both E.U. and U.S.

EGMONT Institute: Extremist Offender Management in Belgium

Extremist Offender Management in Belgium By Thomas Renard (27 July 2020)  In Other publications EU strategy and foreign policy, Middle-East / North Africa, Terrorism The presence of terrorist convicts in prison is not a new phenomenon in Belgium. However, radicalisation or recruitment was less visible, or at least less observed until it became a policy priority to monitor violent extremists in prison in 2015. This chapter, which is part of a broader report, analyses the specific policies and tools that have been developed in Belgium to address the challenge of radicalisation in prison, and the rehabilitation of terrorist offenders after their release. This chapter (view the PDF below) was published as part of the report “Extremist Offender Management in Europe: Country Reports” published by ICSR, and available here .
