The Extreme and Far Right in Europe
2011-05-02

The author Lisa Bjurwald gives an overview of the development and progress of the far and extreme right in Europe, with a particular focus on the EU-countries. It looks at how xenophobic parties have entered parliaments across the continent, and how they attack Jews, Romas and, increasingly, Muslims. Towards the end of the paper, the author suggests strategies to counter the progress of these forces.

A Bretton Woods for the Climate
2011-03-19

This book has four distinguishing features:1. Strong institutions, 2. A core agreement among major emitters and an open-ended exchange rate mechanism for linking to outsiders, 3. Sanctions against free-riders, 4. Functionality and transparency. Our proposal is the creation of global climate institutions based on a basic agreement in the Major Emitters Forum that would manage links between emissions markets, collect and distribute support for mitigation and adaptation projects in developing countries, and sanction free riders in accordance with WTO rules.

Migration: Europe’s challenge
2011-03-18

This book examines the migration debates taking place across Europe´s major states and suggests new approaches to the policy challenges they share. Comparing these nations´ experiences with each other, as well as with those of Canada, it urges hte abondonmnet of failed draconian controls and heavy handed attempts at integration.
Instead it encourages the pursuit of work-orientated immigration policies as well as welfare and labour market reforms to create a system which fosters integration through participation, as well as economic growth.

The publication is published by the European Liberal Forum with the support of Fores and Centre Forum

Green Growth: How Best to Promote Green Investment
2011-03-18

Green growth: how best to promote green investment argues that there may be a case for the proposed Green Investment Bank to invest in the early stage of new green technologies, for industrial policy reasons and to help the financing of particularly large projects such as offshore wind power projects in their development phase. However, there is not a more general problem of lack of financing capacity for green investment throughout Europe as some proponents are suggesting.
