Dr Monika Wohlfeld, the Holder of the German Chair for Peace Studies and Conflict Prevention at MEDAC, contributed a thought-paper to a German national brainstorming meeting on the effectiveness of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
The meeting was organised by the Centre for OSCE Research at the Institute for Peace Studies and Security Policy at the University of Hamburg on behalf of the German Federal Foreign Office.
Current and former OSCE staff members and academic experts were asked to reflect on practical steps that could lead to improved effectiveness and better use of the multilateral platform that the Organisation provides. An internal report will be prepared for the German Federal Foreign Office prior to the forthcoming OSCE Ministerial Council meeting, which will be held on 3 and 4 December 2020.
