Europe and the World by Ralf Grabuschnig. Central and Eastern Europe. Central and Eastern Europe. Poland isolates itself in the EU. How long can this go on? Poland’s government completely isolated itself at this week’s EU summit. This is going to be a short article, probably including a fair amount of ranting. As long-time readers might know, Polish politics is a topic that keeps on infuriating me. I’ll try to keep my cool as well as I can though. Poland’s attempt at playing tough. This guy is actually s...

Did they just beat populism? As you may have gathered from my blog post. Did we just beat populism or is this something else? A Dutch political scientist and populism guru summed it up very nicely in a recent Guardian article. 8220;One battle is won but the war over liberal democracy is still very much on.”. The main takeaway ...

Europe and the World by Ralf Grabuschnig. Central and Eastern Europe. Central and Eastern Europe. 3 ridiculous predictions for Europe and the world in 2017. 8220;Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future”, Winston Churchill is credited with saying. But hey: why not give it a shot nonetheless? 1 Trump will step down. 2 Erdoğan will withdraw his support from a Cyprus solution. One thing I already (sort of) predicted. For 2016 was the re-unification of Cyprus. Evidently, this did...

Europe and the World by Ralf Grabuschnig. Central and Eastern Europe. Central and Eastern Europe. The year when terror became a normality in Europe. So now Berlin.
