The ‘deep forces’ of globalisation and the consequent, unparalleled transformation of economies and societies are having a considerable impact on social cohesion in Asia, as well as Europe. While most policymakers are well aware of the importance of maintaining social cohesion, a better understanding of its multiple dimensions, including social cohesion, social capital and social mobility, is needed in order to shape appropriate policy responses in Europe and Asia.
During this workshop, policymakers and experts from both Europe and Asia discussed these and other relevant issues.
The Europe in the World (EiW) Programme scrutinises the impact of a changing international system on Europe and probes how the EU and its member states can advance their interests and values on a regional and global level. It examines the EU’s relations with both major and middle powers around the world, and how Europe can continue to contribute to a rules-based global order. Secondly, the Programme focuses on the role of the EU in fostering reform, resilience and stability in neighbouring regions and looks closely at developments in Turkey and Ukraine, among other countries. Thirdly, the Programme examines and seeks to advance the development of Europe’s security and defence policy.
