A misogynistic threat to internal security – on the potential danger of the misogynist incel scene

The term incel stands for involuntarily celibate and describes men who define themselves by their inability to establish sexual and romantic relationships with women. The incel scene is characterised by a strong misogynistic and anti-feminist ideology. Members of the community believe in a world view characterised by the doctrine of ‘Pills’. On this ideological basis, they spread misogynistic content in dedicated forums, but also on social media, and deliberately distort the general discourse by spreading anti-feminist content.

Research nation China

Partner, competitor and systemic rival

Over the last two decades, the People's Republic of China has developed into a leading technology nation and is on its way to becoming a global ‘science superpower’. Although the systemic rivalry with the People's Republic of China is increasingly taking centre stage in the public debate, such as the dual-use potential of research cooperation, China's role as an important partner should not be underestimated, particularly with regard to the large number of talented individuals and modern research facilities.

AI and Elections: New dynamics of digital democracy in Germany

Opportunities and risks for our democratic order through AI in the super election year 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising the election campaign. Between innovation and manipulation, the integrity of democratic processes is being put to the test. AI is also marking a new era of political communication in Germany: while parties such as the AfD are using AI for emotionalising messages, others such as Volt are using data-driven strategies for mobilisation. The risks of the technology range from disinformation to the fragmentation of public discourse. What regulatory measures are needed to ensure trust and transparency in the digital age?

Proposals for a new conservative climate narrative

Engaging conservative groups for a technology-open, market-based, and internationally climate policy

The German climate debate is highly polarized and hardly convinces the conservative middle. The gap between aspiration and reality is too large. This conservative middle takes the climate problem seriously but feels patronized by state interventions. A new narrative is needed to reach this middle and win them over for effective and efficient climate policy. This conservative climate narrative is based on market-based, technology-open, and internationally oriented approaches, with emissions trading as the key instrument of climate policy.

Stress test for Germany's domestic security

Responses to multiple crises and internationally networked actors

In 2024, the Federal Republic of Germany faces various threats in the area of domestic security. International crises not only influence extremist actors in their ideological developments, but also motivate them to commit criminal offences and acts of violence. At the same time, the lines between the individual groups and phenomena are becoming blurred as selective collaborations and structural ideological overlaps are emerging. In addition, the influence of foreign actors is growing and links between Germany and abroad are increasing significantly.

Securing prosperity and sustainably

Successful structural change through climate-neutral industrialisation

How can the generally desired structural change towards climate-neutral industries be achieved? In Germany, the path to this goal can vary considerably from state to state: Federal States with existing industries need to secure a larger supply of clean energy, while states in the north in particular already produce more than enough clean electricity but do not have enough industrial customers for it. In our study the authors look particularly at Schleswig-Holstein as an example.

Key regional players in the new global order

India, Kenya, Columbia, Turkey

In times of global power shifts and geopolitical fragmentation, it is a challenge for Germany and the European Union to build stable and mutually attractive partnerships. The perspective of the (potential) partner countries is rarely taken into account. What are their central interests, what specific dependencies characterise their foreign policy decisions, in which regional orders are they integrated? And what determines their view of Germany and the EU? This project is dedicated to these and other questions. With India, Kenya, Colombia and Turkey, four countries from four regions of the world were analysed and their foreign policy positions examined more closely. The result is an attempt to draw conclusions for the (foreign) policy of Germany and the European Union in dealing with these and other countries with which strategic partnerships are to be intensified and expanded.

Islamism in East Germany

Current trends and challenges

In the eastern German federal states, the activities and membership numbers of groups in the Islamist phenomenon are relatively modest. However, this should not obscure the fact that the scene has changed significantly over the last ten years, both quantitatively and qualitatively: the potential number of Islamist individuals has grown steadily in all eastern German federal states during this period and Islamist actors and organisations have increased their local activities, founded associations, taken over prayer rooms and recruited followers.

Synergies of Blockchain and AI

Improving Europe’s Digital Sovereignty

The study analyzes the development of a European AI ecosystem underpinned by a sovereign data marketplace and federated learning. The approach presented aims to strengthen Europe's technological sovereignty in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by outlining a blockchain-based vision for ‘AI Made in Europe’. The approach focuses on three main components: the optimization of digital infrastructures and data management, the support of companies, especially start-ups and SMEs, and the development and use of innovative data marketplaces.’ Potential use cases include healthcare, urban development, and industry.
