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.

  • Foreign and Security Policy
  • Institutional Reform/Public Services
  • Justiz und Grundrechte
  • Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion
  • Erziehung/Bildung/Kinder und Jugend
  • Gesundheit und Verbraucherschutz
  • Inneres
  • Economic and Monetary Affairs

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.

  • Budget control (Austerity Politics): states greater expansion of public debt in recessions than shrinking during growth, proposes a independent body with veto power to control the budgetary process[1]
  • Reduction of public spending (Austerity Politics): "Curbing the overreach of the Government will also help reduce the degree to which it crowds out private activity (evidence of this crowding out can be seen through lower capital investment)."[2]
