With our operational work, in our networks and with cooperation partners, we face the current challenges of our society.

“Talking to each other, not about one another.” In the “International Politics” area, and true to the motto of our founder Kurt A. Körber, we are committed to dialogue and understanding in international politics. With our projects and publications, our aim is to create spaces for reflection and to promote an exchange between different stakeholders from politics, civil society, science and business. In a world characterised by growing geopolitical tensions and an erosion of the rules-based international order, we are committed to peaceful conflict resolution and the strengthening of multilateral structures. By means of conferences, dialogue formats and through our publications, we aim to help develop solutions to global challenges.

The aim of our Körber Emerging Middle Powers Initiative (KEMP) is to promote dialogue between Germany and emerging middle powers. By means of an annual survey, the initiative also contributes to a deeper understanding of geopolitical perspectives in countries that belong to this grouping, such as Brazil, India, and South Africa. In addition, KEMP brings together experts and decision makers from those countries and other emerging middle powers with their German counterparts to contribute to their active exchange.

Involving people, protecting democracy, strengthening communities - these are the aims of our work in the “Democracy and Cohesion” area. We bring citizens together with government decision-makers to improve local life. We support elected representatives in their commitment to democracy, and promote respectful interaction with one another. And we give a voice to people in exile who are campaigning for freedom and democracy. Our programmes focus on dialogue, understanding and joint action in order to strengthen cohesion and democracy.
