About Us: ECFR’s Impact Over the past 10 years, ECFR has been unrivalled in its ability to shape European foreign policy debates and the decision-making, with bold, counter-intuitive insights and compelling policy prescriptions.

ECFR 2.0: Fighting for Europe & Defending the Liberal Order There is a global counter-revolution against the institutions and values of liberal internationalism. The consensus for EU action has eroded as societies become increasingly polarised. What do we need to change? In this new world, ECFR will try to build a new consensus for European co-operation on foreign policy from the bottom up. We will show how common European action is the best way to protect citizens and member states. ECFR will defend its liberal internationalist values but seek to make the liberal order work for everyone.

ECFR 2.0: What stays the same? 1) 2) 3) 4) Our ambition and values: the belief in a united Europe. Our conviction that Europe‘s existence should not be taken for granted, but needs to be built from national capitals every day on every issue. Our belief that Europe still suffers from an intellectual deficit – one of the reasons why it has underperformed. Our approach: innovative ideas and proposals based on original thinking and well-grounded research that actually reaches the relevant decision-makers through our innovative ways (i.e. advocacy & communication).

ECFR 2.0: From ECFR 1.0 to ECFR 2.0 Missionary foreign policy around which European foreign policy could be built Defensive agenda that starts with the vulnerabilities of different national capitals Defined by the written word and long, original reports as the key bearers of messages Move to new forms of communication (data visualisation, infographics, podcasts) and more social media London as headquarters Berlin as the new Centre of Gravity
