Young Professionals Exchange
From 2007 to 2020, the Franco-German Future Dialogue brought together almost 300 young professionals from both countries and encouraged an intensive exchange on issues relating to the future of Europe. The participants – from the political, scientific, administrative, economic, and cultural sectors – shared a special interest in the neighboring country through professional or academic experience. The Franco-German Future Dialogue was founded by the Cerfa at the Institut français des relations internationales (Ifri) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Auswärtige Politik (DGAP), with the support of the Robert Bosch Foundation.
Today, the Franco-German Future Dialogue supports a dynamic network of former participants in the Alumni des Deutsch-Französischen Zukunftsdialogs (ADAFA), which offers its members the opportunity to stay in touch with each other, to continue to discuss Franco-German issues, and to engage in the further development of relations between the two countries.

In 2014, Germany’s relations with Russia markedly deteriorated. The decline was precipitous but it did not occur suddenly. It began some time before Moscow’s annexation of Crimea in March 2014 and the Kremlin’s support for separatism and thinly concealed military intervention in eastern...
The Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius in November 2013 demonstrated that the European Union’s policy toward its eastern neighbors has developed into a highly contentious issue between the EU and Russia.
Relations between Germany, France and Turkey have been strictly bilateral for a long time, with varying intensity, styles and areas of cooperation. The European perspective that is now part of these relations has introduced a three-way dynamic.
Due not only to its importance but also to the place it leaves to symbolic politics, the Franco-German relationship is often described through emotions and in a Manichaean way, alternating between a description of two close friends and a nearly divorced couple. What is the current state of the...
Coming to terms with the past through the opening of former places of terror
...Legal review as a means of coming to terms with the past should be an essential aid to the Tunisian democratic process, but it has, alas, so far often been a stumbling block.
