The Progressive Post is the political magazine of the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS). It gathers renowned thinkers, experts and activists from the world of politics, academia and civil society, provides critical analysis of policies, and clarifies options and opportunities for decision-makers.
Our ambition is to undertake intellectual reflection and debate for the benefit of the progressive movement, and to promote the founding principles of the European Union: freedom, equality, solidarity, democracy, human dignity, as well as respect of human rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law.
With a focus on EU politics, our crucial interest is the state and future of Social Democracy. We offer a platform (in print and online) for finding progressive answers to climate change, uneven development and social inequality in the European as well as global context. We invite our readers to explore with us the contradictions of our time and our authors to put forward arguments for peace, sustainability and social justice.
The new Trump administration is still in the making. A focus on the US electorate's attitude and concerns, and what this means for the future of the Democrats and the road ahead under the new president, is at the core of this issue's Special Coverage US elections: more than angry men.
The shift to the right concerns the EU too, with a growing number of EU member states now governed by far-right parties. In our Focus The far right demolishes the welfare state, we look at how the governments of Finland, Hungary and Italy are dismantling labour and social protections, deepening inequalities along the way.
The Dossier The demographic transition: risks and opportunitiesanalyses how promoting inclusive, human-centred and rights-based policies, as well as migration, can play a role in tackling the EU's demographic imbalances. Another challenge for the EU is corruption – in the Dossier Blunt weapons? Europe's fight against corruption our authors analyse the efficiency and impact of the EU's instruments to fight it.
