SUMMARY:‘Stichting Europa’: The role of the non-profit sector towards Global Europe
DESCRIPTION:LINKS Europe\, in collaboration with The City of The Hague\, and with the support of The Hague Humanity Hub\, cordially invites you to a roundtable discussion on the theme: ‘Stichting Europa’: The role of the non-profit sector in pursuit of a Global Europe. The event is part of the sixth cluster of events in our series of Conversations on the future of Europe in the world and aims to contribute to the ongoing debate across the continent within the framework of the Conference on the Future of Europe. \n\n\n\nThe EU has made its aspiration of becoming a geostrategic player clear\, with advocates frequently citing the strength and diversity of the bloc’s third largest global economy as its number-one asset on this journey. However\, NGOs\, think tanks and other civil society groups are also considered a part of this European patrimony. “NGOs are part of our DNA”\, European officials are often heard saying. Yet is the vibrancy and dynamism of the European third sector being used properly in the process of building global Europe? \n\n\n\nThis discussion shall address the role the non-profit sector is contributing towards the EU’s global ambitions\, and how the EU can better galvanise the sector’s wealth of skills and knowledge; how it can involve and empower non-profits to work towards common global goals; and the risks and benefits in doing so. During the discussion participants will also be invited to offer practical ideas on how The Hague’s rich civil society eco-system can contribute to this process in the future. \n\n\n\nThis event is a fully interactive discussion to allow those working in The Hague’s non-profit sector to share their views on the topics highlighted above – all participants will be expected to share their views before culminating in a general discussion. Participants are welcome also to submit longer written presentations\, which can be circulated during the meeting. The opinions and ideas expressed in the meeting and in the written presentations will be reflected in a short summary of proceedings\, which will be submitted for consideration within the larger Conference on the Future of Europe. \n\n\n\nThis roundtable will take place at 11:00-14:00\, with a short 30 minute lunch break\, on Tuesday\, 22 February 2022\, at The Hague Humanity Hub (city centre). \n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Diaspora Communities and the future of Europe in the world
DESCRIPTION:LINKS Europe\, in collaboration with The City of The Hague\, and with the support of The Hague Humanity Hub\, cordially invites you to a Round Table Discussion on the theme: Diaspora Communities and the future of Europe in the world. The event is part of the sixth cluster of events in our series\, Conversations on the future of Europe in the world\, and aims to contribute to the on-going debate across the continent within the framework of the Conference on the Future of Europe. \n\n\n\nThe Netherlands\, and in particular The Hague\, is home to many diaspora communities. While some are a result of decades-long migration waves\, others are relatively new\, arriving in the last few years. Some communities are well organised having various educational\, religious\, and civic structures\, while others are just slowly starting to organise. Diaspora communities are not always well-represented in decision-making at a local\, national and pan-European level\, despite being citizens of EU member states. \n\n\n\nSome of the challenges that face the EU today\, such as radicalisation\, an influx of illegal migrants\, and civic integration for newcomers\, affect the diaspora communities directly\, and their voices on these issues often do not reach policymakers at the EU level. Beyond that\, diaspora communities are not often part of debate on the future of Europe in the world\, being often marginalised to a subservient role of advocates of their “old country” in the “new country”. This opens them to criticism that they may be fifth columnists\, and less than loyal citizens. Whilst most often these criticisms are unjustified\, they make diaspora communities vulnerable\, and less keen to play an active role in the articulation of the EU’s future relationship with the world. This also often means that the important role that diaspora communities can play as bridge-builders to the countries in Europe’s neighbourhood and beyond is often either missed or distorted. \n\n\n\nHow can this change? How can the EU better engage with its diaspora communities when considering the future of the bloc on the world stage? Is there a role for local and municipal authorities in helping empower diaspora communities to fine-tune their contribution to the wider European debates\, especially on foreign\, defence and security policy? \n\n\n\nAfter a short introduction to the theme of the discussion all participants will be asked to speak for 2-4 minutes on the topic\, preferably from the perspective of the diaspora community that they are coming from. Participants are welcome also to submit longer written presentations\, which can be circulated during the meeting. The opinions and ideas expressed in the meeting and in the written presentations will be reflected in a short summary of proceedings\, which will be submitted for consideration within the larger Conference on the Future of Europe. \n\n\n\nThis event will take place 14:30-15:30 on Tuesday\, 22 February 2022\, at The Hague Humanity Hub. The working language will be English. Registration is obligatory. \n\n\n\n\nRegister This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Book Launch: ‘Security through Cooperation: To the Same End’
DESCRIPTION:LINKS Europe cordially invites you to the launch of a new book by Dr Walter A. Kemp\, titled\, ‘Security through Cooperation: To the Same End This link opens in a new tab’. \n\n\n\nThis book makes the case for why co-operation is the key to security within and between states\, and for dealing with complex threats and challenges to international peace and security. It argues that co-operation is not altruism or liberal internationalism\, rather it is in the self-interest of states. Drawing on both theory and practice\, it looks at how co-operation can be promoted within and between states as well as in the global community. It explains the concept of ‘co-operative security’ and its potential contribution to promoting integration against the current of fragmentation. Furthermore\, the book explores the potential impact of technology on cooperation. It makes an urgent call for new ideas and approaches to encourage people and states to work together to deal with complex threats and challenges. \n\n\n\nWe are delighted to welcome to this event Ambassador Kairat Abdrakhmanov\, the OSCE’s High Commissioner on National Minorities\, who will make opening remarks. This will be followed by a presentation by Dr Kemp\, in which he will introduce and discuss the book and its themes\, followed by questions and discussion. Copies of the book will be available to be purchased at the event. \n\n\n\nThis event will take place in person at The Hague Humanity Hub (City Centre) in The Hague\, on Tuesday 22 February 2022 at 14:30-15:30. \n\n\n\nWalter A. Kemp is Senior Fellow at the Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime\, and Strategic Policy Adviser at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy. He teaches at the Diplomatic Academy in Vienna\, Austria. \n\n\n\n\nRegister This link opens in a new tab
