Topics

We used the DGs of the EU to generate a basic list of topics. This list is going to be steadily extended. However we try to preserve a persistent list of topics.

• Institutionelle Reform/öffentliche Dienste
• Beschäftigung, soziale Angelegenheiten und Chancengleichheit
• Energie
• Europäische/r Integration/sprozess
• Gesundheit und Verbraucherschutz
• Internationaler Handel/Globalisierung
• Umweltpolitik/Klimaschutz
• Zeitgeschichte/Geschichtspolitik, Theorie/Ideenkampf

Semantic Fields

What we call here a semantic field is the idea to categorize think tanks in a two level system. The first levels are so called 'Virtual Networks' and the second are the semantic fields. Accordingly every semantic field entered here has to be attached to a virtual network. If you would like to follow a special phenomenon among think tanks please contact us and we are going to add a new virtual network. Semantic fields are topics that promote a virtual network. Lets take climate change as an example: 'climate change skeptics' is the virtual network and 'adaption instead of mitigation' would be one possible semantic field.

• Limiting public economic share / finances (Austerity Politics): The report 'Statlig finansiering till småföretag?' recommends the reduction of public activities in the economic sphere and a tax reform to relieve investments and comsumption. The creation of new jobs by private enterprises liberated from regulatory and fiscal restrictions is praised as high road to cope with future demographic and social challenges instead of the expansion of the welfare state. Keyfigures: Svensson, Roger
