The crisis' impact already reverberates deeply and widely in the European political sphere, social fabric and economic architecture. In spite of health being an exclusive Member State competence, EU institutions have been asked to respond to the immediate health threat presented by the contagion and to foresee and address consequences for the European economy and key policy areas of the Union, from the monetary union to the free movement of people. This policy brief documents the contributions of the participants to the workshop, starting with an exchange on the acutely unfolding health crisis, moving onto a broader analysis of the situation from various policy and disciplinary perspectives and ending with a discussion of operative recommendations. The proposals included in this brief, however, do not necessarily reflect the opinion of all participants and were not formally endorsed at the workshop.

International Organizations and the Media in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, 2018
International Organizations and the Media in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries is the first ... more International Organizations and the Media in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries is the first volume to explore the historical relationship between international organizations and the media. Beginning in the early nineteenth century and coming up to the 1990s, the volume shows how people around the globe largely learned about international organizations and their activities through the media and images created by journalists, publicists, and filmmakers in texts, sound bites, and pictures. The book examines how interactions with the media are a formative component of international organizations. At the same time, it questions some of the basic assumptions about how media promoted or enabled international governance. Written by leading scholars in the field from Europe, North America, and Australasia, and including case studies from all regions of the world, it covers a wide range of issues from humanitarianism and environmentalism to Hollywood and debates about international information orders. Bringing together two burgeoning yet largely unconnected strands of research—the history of international organizations and international media histories—this book is essential reading for scholars of international history and those interested in the development and impact of media over time.-- 1.

Building on discussions at the first two HLPD editions of December 2018 and July 2019 that had addressed the post-conflict economic perspectives for the Donbas region as a whole and the issue of the institutional framework for reintegration, this dialogue focused on designing a vision for Donbas reintegration and on the possible role of the international and business communities in achieving it. It brought together high-level Ukrainian decision-makers and policy influencers, leading economists, academics, actors from civil society as well as representatives from European and US international institutions and businesses. Under the Chatham House rule, they provided analysis and discussed policy re...
