Russia’s relationship with the EU is at its lowest point since the end of the Cold War in Europe. The EU-Russia working group seeks to understand this development in terms of the long-term tensions over language, identity and history in the post-Soviet space and investigates practical ways as to how the crisis can be overcome.
Chaired by Vladislav Zubok
Working Group 1: Europe, Russia and Ukraine (LSE)
The Working Group focusses on the notion of justice and de-mocracy in Turkey and Europe. It analyzes how the judicial system and the courts are used to consolidate democracy and support efforts to build a collective memory in confron-ting historical injustices and competing notions of justice in an increasingly divided society.
Chaired by Dilek Kurban & Esra Özyürek
Working Group 2: Europe and Turkey (Hertie School)
The uprisings in some parts of the Arab world will continue to have far-reaching consequences for the MENA region, and for its relations with Europe. The central research question of this working group is: ‘How has the “Arab Spring” affected political and economic relations in the Arab world and with Europe?’.
Working Group 3: Europe and MENA (Hertie School)
Chaired by Cilja Harders & Claus Offe
Today, the transatlantic partnership no longer looks so se-cure. This working group seeks to better understand this de-velopment and its implications for the future of Europe and its relations with North America and especially the U.S.
Working Group 4: Europe and North-America (LSE)
Chaired by Peter Trubowitz
The working group explores the overarching question of how increasing energy dependence and resource exploitation by both China and Europe shape relations between the two. The working group therefore looks at both bilateral relations and relations with third countries and regions.

THE DAHRENDORF FORUM: DEBATING EUROPE www.dahrendorf-forum.eu
Since 2010, the Hertie School of Governance (Hertie School), the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and Stiftung Mercator have cooperated to promote
research and debate on Europe’s most pressing questions.
The Dahrendorf Forum upholds an interdisciplinary, intersectoral and international appro-
ach to research. By integrating target audiences into the research process itself, it aims
to establish a new norm of academic impact in international affairs. The project thereby
enables academic research to play a role in setting the agenda and developing policies.
At the same time, the Dahrendorf Forum seeks to improve the quality of democratic debate
by involving the public into the discourse.
2011 Moving beyond Conventional Wisdoms
2013 Focus on Climate Change
2016 Europe and the World
Dahrendorf III: Europe and the World
No fence can shield Europe from the impact of global problems. While this requires strong
European responses, public acceptance of further integration is dwindling. If Europe is to
develop a foreign policy identity, institutional reform must thus be met with democratic
debate. The Dahrendorf Forum takes on this challenge: throughout the third project cycle
(2015-2016), it researches the future of Europe’s external relations whilst discussing its
findings with an audience as broad as possible. Our gaze thereby goes beyond euro-cen-
tric worldviews: The Dahrendorf Forum creates space for non-European perspectives.
Our research is complemented by a series of high-profile events in London, Berlin and the
focus regions themselves (MENA, China, Russia/Ukraine, Turkey, North America). Impact
is further strengthened through publications targeted at experts as well as non-expert audiences.
THE DAHRENDORF SYMPOSIUM 2016
Changing the European debate: “Europe and the World” will form the climax of the current
project cycle. It aims to ignite a broad, challenging and multifaceted European debate.
Date: 25-27 May 2016

THE DAHRENDORF LEGACY
Lord Ralf Dahrendorf was a leading social scientist with a wide range of interests in sociology
and political thought. He entered politics in the late 1960s and has, inter alia, served as a liberal
member of the German Bundestag and as a Commissioner in the European Commission. He had
also been director of the LSE and a Warden of St Antony’s College at the University of Oxford.
In 1993, he was appointed to Britain’s House of Lords. Dahrendorf famously defi ned the role of
the public intellectual as: “to doubt everything that is obvious, to make relative all authority,
to ask all those questions that no one else dares to ask”. It is in this spirit that the Dahrendorf
Forum promotes critical thinking on the public policy challenges that Europe faces. The Forum
seeks to highlight those issues and perspectives that tend to be ignored or underrepresented –
not for criticism s sake but in order to move Europe forward.
