BOOK – NEXT LEFT XIV
By Andreas Schieder, László Andor, Maria Maltschnig, Eunice Goes, Ania Skrzypek, Eric Sundström and many more
In less than two decades, there has been a major financial crash, a pandemic and war broke out following Russia’s brutal aggression against Ukraine. The 14th volume of the Next Left series depicts the tough political choices Progressives face in these turbulent times and reflects on the alternatives we have.
This volume is the outcome of the work by the FEPS-Renner Institut Next Left Focus Group, for which
members carried out research and debates under the leadership of Andreas Schieder, Chair of the programme and MEP. Read more.

PAST EVENT
11 May –
Online
Technology can become key for change but we must be aware of its duality: it can either be a solution or a cause to environmental problems.
|
|
|
|
|
Future policies on digitalisation need to be assessed through an environmental lens, and that was the
scope of our latest policy breakfast, in cooperation with FES. Kerstin Hötte, Postdoctoral Researcher at Oxford Martin Programme on Technological and Economic Change, presented her ‘Climate and digital policy’ policy brief, and discussed it with Anna Berti Suman, Post-Doctoral Fellow at the EU Commission Joint Research Centre, and Mauro Santaniello, Associate Research Fellow at UNU-CRIS.

PROGRESSIVE PAGEA European interest: is there such a thing?
by Serena Giusti
Does a European interest exist? And if yes, what are its characteristics? Fascinating as these questions might be, there is no easy answer: even in the case of a traditional polity as a state, there is no consensus on how to define national interest.
|
|
|
|
|
Even the national interest is considered a rather obscure and analytically frail concept that has been
monopolised by realism and is often linked to authoritarian regimes. Read more.

The coming decades will be characterised by two significant technology challenges: climate change mitigation and digitalisation.
|
|
|
|
|
Kerstin Hötte, Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Oxford and Gerard Oosterwijk, FEPS Policy Analyst on Digital, discuss the positive and negative interactions across processes of technological advances involved in both climate change mitigation and digitalisation. They touch on green data spaces as an opportunity to create more transparency on the climate impact and the action needed on different levels.
