The Austrian Institute for International Affairs – oiip is proud to publish the second issue of its Magazine REFLECTIONS. The Magazine aims to make current Topics of international politics accessible and interesting to a broader readership. This year’s issue addresses the rise of authoritarian populism and aggressive power politics around the globe, the retreat of democracy and liberal values, and how these developments affect international relations. However, we do not want to paint an overly bleak picture and further contribute to dystopian discourses.

This is why we also asked our authors to explore trends, dynamics, and developments that promise democratic resilience. Guided by academic quality criteria and drawing on deep experience, the institute and its researchers aim to help navigate the storm and fight for democratic freedom, peace, human rights and, welfare, which are of utmost importance to all of us.

This year’s issue titled "How to navigate the storm" has brought together a large set of experts from different fields including political science, international relations, economics, law, and sociology, and Features two interviews with prominent interlocutors.
