Bruselské chlebíčky | Tensions with China Are Rising. And EU Leaders Are Seeking Weapons Against Beijing’s Aggressive Trade Policy

One of the key topics at the upcoming European Council summit will be the issue of the trade imbalance with China. EU leaders, however, do not want to say this out loud—the word “China” does not appear even once in the draft conclusions of the summit. According to Martin Vokálek, executive director of EUROPEUM Institute, the European Union has not yet reached the stage where it would label Beijing as an outright enemy.

The goal of the “The Czech Republic in 2050” project is to support the enhancement of society’s resilience against external and internal threats, to strengthen citizens’ interest in public affairs, and to encourage their involvement in participatory processes.

Charter Lab

The digital transformation of the labour market poses significant challenges to existing legal protection systems. New forms of (self)employment are created that fall outside the scope of existing labour and social rights, the way algorithms function is often not transparent and highly digitised work often goes hand in hand with worker isolation.

Blog | Do election maps strengthen place-based stigmatisation in Slovakia?

The urban-rural divide has been one of the most popular topics in societal and political discourse across Europe. Such discourse seems to increase right after election results, as election maps have become the norm in visualisation of political inclinations within a country. Election maps typically portray a clear division between the urban and the rural parts of society, or between different regions. Although these differences exist, the perception that one's place of origin is the determining factor in one’s political beliefs has become a polarising narrative. Writes Tereza Vachmanská, an intern at the Brussels Office.

Duševní nepohoda už dávno není okrajové téma. Rok co rok průzkumy potvrzují, že se s ní potýká značná část evropské populace. Stres, úzkosti, vyhoření nebo pocit vnitřního tlaku se stávají běžnou součástí života. Co s tím ale můžeme dělat?
