M100 Media Forum in Tbilisi: Struggle for democratic space

12 July 2023. Independent media and an active civil society are the foundations of democracy which are threatened by autocratic governments. At the M100 Media Forum in Georgia, some 30 national and international media and civil society representatives discussed how to strengthen public spaces for social discourse and change.

Democracies worldwide – and the liberal international order – are facing multiple challenges that question the foundations of their values and institutions. The new geopolitical competition of our time is thus also a struggle for the role, meaning and, ultimately, the future of democracy. These developments were the focus of intense, sometimes sombre, but always insightful discussions at the one-day M100 Media Forum entitled “Between Ambition and Disarray – The Future of Democracy”, which we organised together with the Alfred Herrhausen Gesellschaft (AHG) in the Georgian capital Tbilisi on 22 June. The discussions took place under Chatham House Rules.

The participants of the M100YEJ have been selected!

10 July 2023. Almost 50 young journalists from 17 European countries applied for this year’s M100 Young European Journalists Workshop on ” Reporting on climate change – and its significance for democracy“.
It was therefore not easy to select the 20 who will be invited to Potsdam from 10 to 14 September: they show what great young journalists are growing up between Norway and Greece, between Ireland and Georgia, what impressive skills and experience many already have, how motivated, reflective and excellently trained they are.
We would like to encourage all those who did not receive an invitation this year and are under 30 to apply again next year –  if they like the topic!
We will publish this year’s participants on the website soon.

The workshops will be led by experienced experts: Sven Egenter, Editor-in-Chief of Clean Energy Wire (CLEW), our Advisory Board member Prof. Dr Alexandra Borchardt, who produced this year’s EBU report on “Climate Journalism that Works”, Alexandre Brutelle, co-founder of the Environmental Investigative Forum (EIF) in Paris and M100 alumnus, n-ost, who will lead a workshop on climate change as a topic for cross-border journalism, as well as AFP, Deutsche Welle and dpa, who will present best practice examples from their newsrooms.
The agenda is available here.

China, Russia and the International System

by Dr George N. Tzogopoulos

7 July 2023. Much emphasis is currently placed on Sino-Russian relations. The partnership of the two countries is multifaceted and has the potential to impact on the world order. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine perplexes matters as it is testing the limits of this partnership. While the interests of Beijing and Moscow intersect in opposing American foreign policy objectives, they are not always identical. As long as the war in Ukraine continues, dilemmas are emerging and scenarios are being debated about the future direction of the international system, Russia’s position in it, and China’s responses.
