As we embark on a new year, we are delighted to bring you the first edition of our newsletter for 2025. In this issue, we delve into the role TikTok played in Romania’s recent presidential election, revolutionizing voter engagement while raising critical questions about digital influence and regulatory challenges. From Eastern Europe, we shift our focus to Taiwan, where a divisive debate over the independence of its Constitutional Court underscores deepening societal and political rifts in one of Asia’s leading democracies.
We are also excited to announce a new collaborative project, “Central and Eastern Europe and the Future of the European China Debate,” spearheaded by CHOICE, OSW, and ECFR and supported by Mercator Stiftung. This initiative seeks to bridge critical gaps in understanding China’s influence in Europe, amplifying the unique perspectives of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) within the broader European policy conversation.
Wishing you a fantastic start to the year – may it be one filled with growth, inspiration, and meaningful conversations! Read the full newsletter here!
