“Current developments in the international and European economy – unemployment and how we deal with it” with Dr. Carl Benedikt Frey, Oxford Martin School
Dr. Frey heads the Future of Work program at Oxford Martin School. In 2019, he joined the Advisory Board on “Global Future” on the “New Economic Agenda” of the World Economic Forum in Davos and the Advisory Board of the Bretton Woods Committee. His study “The Future of Employment: How Vulnerable Jobs Are to Computerization” was used as a model by President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, the Bank of England, and the World Bank. The BBC uses it to predict crises.
It’s about the future of work, digitization, and sustainability.

Theme: “China’s Digital Strategy: The Digital Silk Road”
Interview: Tyson Barker (DGAP) and Dr.Beatrice Bischof (Moderation)
Date: 11. November 2020.
Conversation between Tyson Barker (Head of Technology and Foreign Policy, DGAP) and Dr. Beatrice Bischof (Member of the Board of Directors of the Foreign Affairs Association e. V.)
The digital silk road is a growth story. The digital economy of China will in the future cover the “entire spectrum” of technologies. In the most remote areas of the world, data sets and smartphones are used to create entrepreneurs. China makes its citizens rich, but at the same time keeps them under control. The system of “digital Leninism” is an export hit, but it competes with the liberal democracies. The race for global influence has begun and it is digital.
Tyson Barker is a program manager for technology and foreign policy at the German Society for Foreign Policy (DGAP). Previously he was u. a. Deputy Executive Director and Fellow at the Aspin Institute Germany, responsible for Digital and Transatlantic Programs, Senior Advisor in the Office for European and Eurasian Relations at the US State Department, and Director for Transatlantic Relations at the Bertelsmann Foundation. He has written for numerous newspapers and magazines, including Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, Politico, The Atlantic, The National Interest, and “Der Spiegel”.

Theme: “The War in Ukraine: Classification and Possible Solutions”
Interview: Prof. Horst Teltschik and Dr.Beatrice Bischof (Moderation)
Date: 11. March 2022.
Interview with Prof. Dr. Horst Teltschik, foreign policy advisor to Chancellor Helmut Kohl and head of the Munich Security Conference (1999–2008)
In the interview on the classification and the question of possible solutions to the war in Ukraine from March 11, 2022, the following questions are addressed:
1. The Russian invasion of Ukraine did not come as a surprise, at least according to statements by large US think tanks. Russian troop movements were meticulously monitored by US secret services and published long beforehand as part of information policy as part of US crisis management. And yet the world was ultimately surprised. Why were the warnings not taken seriously “enough” by the European or German side?
2. What are Putin’s motives and interests? Stop the much-mentioned and also not new NATO eastward expansion, establish a Russia-friendly government in Ukraine? The annexation of part or all of Ukraine?
3. What means can we counter this? In terms of security policy, a military option is hardly an option, economic sanctions (in the areas of technology, energy, banking) are already in place, but these also harbor their risks. How do you rate the possibilities?
4. What could a solution look like? A resumption of Russia’s face-saving involvement in security and European formats (NATO-Russia Council, a European security architecture, a non-aggression pact with NATO…), the surrender of the Donbass, and neutrality of Ukraine?
5. Who could be the participants in a solution, which role could Europe play, which China?
Horst Teltschik was one of Helmut Kohl’s closest advisors. After Helmut Kohl was elected Chancellor on October 1, 1982, Teltschik became Ministerial Director and head of the department “Foreign and Internal German Relations, Development Policy, External Security” in the Federal Chancellery in Bonn. In 1983 he became Deputy Head of the Federal Chancellery. In 1989/90 he was special representative for the negotiations with Poland, he was involved in the German-German negotiations at the time of reunification and German reunification.
On February 10, 1990, Teltschik accompanied BK Kohl to the meeting with the then Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev in Moscow, which was decisive for German reunification. As a result, the Kremlin recognized the Germans’ right to self-determination for the first time since 1945, and Gorbachev paved the way for German unity.
Teltschik chaired the Munich Security Conference from 1999 to 2008.

Co-creating Spaces for Peace and Reconciliation on the Korean Peninsula
Women empowerment project proposal by Dr. Beatrice Bischof
Her proposal for the development of a cultural peace zone between North and South Korea is the establishment of a thematic hub consisting of the components of politics, economy, technology, and society (PETS-A Foreign Policy Ecosystem). The theme is a cultural asset of Korea such as ginseng or gim. A women’s cooperative consisting of South and North Korean women should operate it and produce this product with modern technology (example Vertical Farming, Sustainable Integrated Farming) in the field of food and cosmetics or even medicine and sell it via the online store. As an approach, here we have the combination of women-cultural value-business project-peace making through inclusion and intersectoral coordination. The important impact is a common goal. It is a Social Entrepreneurship or Responsible Entrepreneurship project supported by the UN and EU international framework. A similar project already exists in Morocco, with Argand’Or.

Date: 30th June 2021

ILC2021-6-Session 6 “Europe and the Korean Peninsula” & Closing “Think Tank 2022 Recommendations”
The Korean War – the first major conflict of the Cold War – broke out in 1950. Several European countries sent troops in support of the United Nations Command. Until then a relatively unknown country in the West, Korea was put on the map. The armistice signed in July 1953 brought an end to the armed conflict on the peninsula, which remained divided between North and South. However, no peace treaty was signed. Whether there will ever be lasting peace depends in great part on the major powers in the region.
Europe’s role has evolved from military intervention to a soft power approach, economic cooperation with South Korea, humanitarian aid for and diplomacy with North Korea. Drawing on their experience in conflict management, the panelists will address the question of Europe’s contribution to the easing of tensions on the Korean peninsula.

ILC2021-6-Session 6 “Europe and the Korean Peninsula” & Closing “Think Tank 2022 Recommendations”
Peace support project proposal by Dr. Beatrice Bischof
My proposal for a European or German policy with regard to peaceful reunification of Korea is based on two pillars:
1. Peoples diplomacy: contact at the level of the people should be expanded step by step. This could be done through projects as described in PETS-A Foreign Policy Ecosystem and outlined in the case of the Women’s Hub project for the peace zone. Nevertheless, channels of dialogue with the government should also be kept open.
2. Nuclear Diplomacy: The nuclear issue, disarmament, should be pursued through the confidence-building and verification system of the IAEA in a step-by-step approach.
Conclusion: German reunification does not really serve as a role model, it was the product of a unique opportunity in history that had to be seized. The case is different on the Korean Peninsula and should therefore be pursued through a step-by-step approach involving the people and satisfying their interests on the way to a common goal (reunification).
