Upcoming Events
Ubiquitous? Omnipresent? FEPS was everywhere this past week.

We shared ideas on the Future of Europe in Siena 🇮🇹; explored new narratives on migration in Barcelona 🇪🇸; online 🌐 we talked about the working conditions in childcare; then toured Brussels 🇧🇪 with our EU Political Academy’s fellows; analysed right-wing populism in the EP 🇪🇺; we connected to 🇬🇷 to discuss EU welfare. And we wrote about 🌍 global governance.

Where to go next? Join us in London 🇬🇧 for the launch of our latest book ‘Europe and the War in Ukraine’ 🇺🇦
POLICY STUDY
By Jonathan Zeitlin, David Bokhorst and Edgars Eihmanis

In addition to its remarkable financial envelope, the RRF also marks an important step forward in EU governance. This study, in collaboration with Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), Institut Emile Vandervelde and Amsterdam Centre for European Studies, assesses the effectiveness and legitimacy of the RRF’s design, by analysing its practical functioning during the drafting, implementation and monitoring of the National Recovery and Resilience Plans in eight member states.

UPCOMING EVENT
20 June – London, UK – Hybrid

The EU has a crucial role to play in Ukraine’s post-war recovery and transformation.
Through a progressive lens the new volume published by FEPS aims to answer a number of fundamental questions pertaining to the future of economic reforms and democratic governance in Ukraine. As the London Ukraine Recovery conference is upon us, we will build on the book and beyond in the discussion of Ukraine’s losses, prospects, proposals on the table and those that are lacking. Join us for the launch event of the book ‘Europe and the War in Ukraine‘, in collaboration with PEGFA University of Greenwich and London School of Economics.

PAST EVENT
5 June – Online

Children have to be seen, heard, respected, valued and taken into account. The same goes for the workers taking care of them. However, this is, currently, not the case.
As highlighted in our policy study ‘The European Care Strategy’ childcare is underfunded, and there is a lack of recognition for the important work that is done daily by childcare workers. The EU has a crucial responsibility in initiating transformative policies towards changing social and gender norms and incentivising public investment in care. We discuss it with experts in our ongoing Care4Care policy series. Watch the latest if you missed it, and join us for the next one ‘The future of Care: platform work & digitalisation‘.

Next Left Lecture
8 June – FEPS HQ & EP

Daphne Halikiopoulou, Chair in Comparative Politics, York University, chaired the third Next Left Lecture. She described right-wing populist parties in the EU and their multifacetedness.
Who are far-right voters and what moves them towards those parties? Why is co-opting the far-right ideas not convenient, and counter-productive for the left? Watch the full video.

These Lectures are part of the Next Left Research Programme, co-organised by FEPS and Karl-Renner-Institut, under the leadership of Andreas Schieder, MEP S&D.

One more cycle of the FEPS-Karl–Renner-Institut European Political Academy concluded in Brussels after four training sessions held in Vienna.
This Brussels visit allowed the participants to deepen their knowledge of FEPS’ mission and the main projects underway, to understand what discussions are taking place in the European Parliament one year before the European elections and what the main activities of the Austrian S&D delegation are as well as the role in the EU of the Austrian representation. Finally, participants had separate meetings with progressive sister organisations.

PROGRESSIVE PAGE
by Maria João Rodrigues

The signs of crisis in the system of global governance created after the Second World War are multiplying. If these trends continue, it is not difficult to predict that we will have, in addition to a West that can no longer lead the world alone, a fragmented and weakened multilateral system, incapable of responding to the highly pressing challenges,
from climate, poverty, nuclear weapons or artificial intelligence. However, Europe has a choice. Read more.

#136 FEPS TALKS PODCAST

🎙️ What are the implications of moving towards a life-course perspective? What are the political lines around care and family policy that will shape the future of this policy field? How to finance welfare if stagflation endures?
Anna Diamantopoulou, President of DIKTIO, former Greek minister and European commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights, reflects with David Rinaldi, FEPS Director of Studies and Policy, on the ongoing and upcoming societal transformations that require innovation and ambition on welfare policy. The exchange also looks at the contribution of the Commission’s ‘High-Level Group on the Future of Social Protection in the EU and of the Welfare State in the EU Members’.
