Global Order
We are in the midst of a geopolitical transition. States shaping the global order today are less Western, have fewer common interests, and are more normatively diverse. The result is often competition and contestation. This plays out in both established international institutions, emerging strategic spaces such as the Indo-Pacific, and new institutional ventures like the Belt and Road Initiative. Our research seeks to better understand these developments. Our dialogue projects provide a platform for policymakers and young professionals to debate differences, expand their political and cultural knowledge, and explore opportunities for cooperation on transnational challenges.
Critical and Emerging Technologies: Sharpening the Strategic Agenda in Germany and Europe
Cutting-edge technologies are central to security, power and prosperity in a fast-changing global order. This project seeks to advance the debate on strategic goals, policy options, and trade-offs in Germany and Europe and to strengthen dialogue with the United States.
Reaching Across Cultural and Political Divides: Why Dialogues Matter and How They Can Succeed
Global Governance Futures (GGF) – a multilateral dialogue program we ran with the Robert Bosch Stiftung for 10 years – rested on a key principle: to fix global problems, we must work across divides. What have we learned in a decade of GGF?
Chaos or Connection? The Global Media and Information Landscape in 2035
The internet has revolutionized how we access and share information. And new actors are constantly emerging. What will the global media landscape look like in the next decade? Will media literacy increase? And what about efforts to regulate Big Tech?
A World Divided? Envisioning the Future of Global Inequality
Inequality is a multiplier for a host of other social and political issues. Will global inequality increase or decline by 2035? And what will that mean for fields like health care, migration and tech?
ENSURED: Shaping Multilateralism for a World in Transition
Together with 13 consortium partners, GPPi has launched a new research project to help bolster global governance. Addressing five policy areas – trade, climate, health, migration, and digitalization – that by their very nature pose transnational challenges, ENSURED investigates how the EU can make multilateralism more robust, effective and democratic.

Global Dialogue
In cooperation with the Robert Bosch Stiftung, Global Dialogue is a project for parliamentary exchange that brings together members of the German Bundestag, fellow parliamentarians from partner countries and other international political decision-makers in bi- and trilateral formats. The goal of the exchange is to strengthen ties between Germany and key partner countries as a way to build a strategic community of political decision-makers who can address global challenges cooperatively.
