Center for Integral Politics (CIP)
Reinventing Politics
Europe is facing a legitimacy crisis due to increasing critique, nationalist tendencies and tensions between diverging values and conceptions of cooperation in the EU. Many citizens also experience a gap between political decision-making and their everyday life. To bridge this gap, decision-making in the EU must happen closer to the citizens. The Center for Integral Politics works towards a paradigm shift in politics, enhancing more collaborative mindsets and practices in politics as a precondition for re-inspiring political cultures and institutions, and thus, for building new momentum for the European project.
The CIP connects, coordinates and integrates existing theoretical perspectives and practical approaches of integral/collaborative/TEAL politics, promotes and disseminates research results and best practices, and provide advice and interventions.
The core mission of the CIP is to promote and support the development of integral political cultures, as well as of appropriate institutional forms, processes and practices.
A considerable part of CIP's work will be related to implementing IFIS' Leadership for Transition (LiFT) 3.0 - politics project. Project summary here.
