24 May 14:00 – 15:30, FEPS Headquarters (Brussels)
This event will present the paper series resulting from the year-long project âVoting during pandemics â making democracy resilient in turbulent times â experiences from Central, Eastern, and South-Eastern Europeâ.
While a lot has been said about COVID’s socio-economic challenges, there seems to
have been relatively less attention paid to what it meant when it comes to political processes. This is the niche this publication addresses.
This project is run by FEPS, the Institute for Social Integration (ISI), Centrum Im. Ignacego DaszyDskiego, Masarykova demokratickaĖ akademie, Foundation for a Democratic Left and Drustvo Progresiva.

How to address Europe’s green investment gap
Rafael Wildauer and Stuart Leitch
Read the new Policy Brief by FEPS and the Karl-Renner-Institut investigating 1âŖ how much public investment in green infrastructure Europe needs and 2âŖ how to fund this investment.
To put the EU economy on a path compliant with the 🌡ī¸1.5°C limit, additional funding between âŦ11,670 and âŦ16,320 billion is needed over the period from 2020 to 2050, the authors argue. The bulk of these investments is needed to renovate Europe buildings.
📺 In the following video, Dr Wildauer presents two policy options that could help us bridge the investment gap!

In this video, Dr Rafael Wildauer presents two policy options that could help us bridge the investment gap:
1ī¸âŖ The first is a progressive European Wealth Tax which is targeted at the richest 1% of European households.
2ī¸âŖ The second one is a large-scale public investment initiative for green infrastructure funded by issuing government bonds.
This research is part of the project “A fiscally sustainable public investment initiative in Europe to prevent climate collapse”, by FEPS, the Renner Institut, and the Austrian Chamber of Labour (AK).

Prof.
Stiglitz: NextGenEU was a leap forward, but the EU needs more flexibility
The NextGenEu Eurobonds issuance by the European Commission “was a very important step forward”, the Nobel Laureate in Economics Prof. Joseph E. Stiglitz said in an interview with FEPS Head of Communication Ainara BascuÃąana. However, “the minimum change that you need is clearly saying you need more flexibility”, he added.
The interview was held in the framework of the talk co-organised by FEPS, the Initiative for Policy Dialogue (IPD) at Columbia University, and the Jean-Jaurès
Foundation âThe 20 years of the Euroâ.

PROGRESSIVE PAGE
by Uwe OptenhÃļgel
We all remember the image of the two lonely dictators at the Winter Olympics in Beijing. Putin was the only international leader to attend, and he was courted accordingly. In return, he was allowed to take back home
with him new trade contracts and the promise of âunlimited friendshipâ.
Nevertheless, China cannot have been enthusiastic about the recognition of the âindependent peopleâs republicsâ of Luhansk and Donetsk that followed a few days later, the war that was about to begin and the inherent potential for chaos in the international system and the global economy. Read more

The politics of care
🎙ī¸To explore the different care inequalities that directly feed into gender imbalances across all spheres of life, Labour MP for Birmingham and Shadow Minister Jess Phillips is interviewed by Laeticia Thissen (FEPS Policy Analyst for
Gender Equality).
Building on the realities made evident by the EU Care Atlas â by FEPS and the Friedrich-Ebert Stiftung â and the
complex relationship between motherhood and equality, this podcast focuses on how care deficits permeate into various other gender gaps, including politics. It explores how female politicians have a central role in changing conventional ways of doing politics and in shifting the priorities towards a care-oriented society.
