Basic Direction:

European Voices shall be an open arena for political discussions. It aims to be a platform for experts, scholars, writers, political thinkers, and observers who reflect on Europe s state of affairs and who share visions that might shape Europe s future. It addresses an audience that wants to be part of these debates.

While aware of transatlantic ties in various aspects, European Voices focuses on the region of Central, Eastern, and South-Eastern Europe: Authors from Estonia to Hungary, from Poland to Romania, from Austria to Albania will draw a wide picture of Europe s different points of view in politics, economy, and society.

European Voices is guided by pro-European and democratic principles. We are committed to the ideas of social market economy, rule of law, and human rights. We believe that an open debate is not only necessary in democratic societies but will make them fairer and stronger.
