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.
European Socialists struggle to balance their responsibilities with the need to take bold positions and actions in the face of many major crises, while far-right political parties are increasingly gaining ground. Against this background, we offer European progressive forces food for thought on projecting themselves into the future. The Special Coverage European Social Democracy – A transformative force for the future includes analyses and proposals concerning the concept of the state, work, internationalism, digital capitalism, democracy and leadership.
Increasingly, the far right attempts to go beyond electoral success and shape the world as well as future generations. In the Focus The far right and its conquest of education, we show how far-right governments in countries like Hungary, Serbia and the United States attempt to redesign education systems to serve their own political agenda. The far right also targets LGBTIQ+ rights, but our position – outlined in the Dossier Stronger together! LGBTIQ+ rights vs anti-gender movements – is clear: LGBTIQ+ rights are fundamental human rights and therefore non-negotiable.
