Global themes and global expertise hubs
Global Themes
The Global Themes Division is the globally connected think tank of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom. It develops innovative policy recommendations and liberal solutions in the areas that will have a decisive impact on the future of free societies in a global context: Human rights and international rule of law; globalization, free trade and market economy; comprehensive approach and defence policy; digitalization and innovation. The team also organizes and coordinates the International Journalists' and Media Dialogue Programme.
The work of the Foundation's globally connected think tank is fed and inspired by the Foundation's international projects and the expertise and thematic networks of its employees. The networking approach of the Global Themes Division is complemented by the networks of the Foundation's global expertise hubs. The Global Themes Division coordinates its work with the Global Security Hub (Brussels), the World Order and Globalization Hub (Washington, D.C.), the Global Innovation Hub (Taipei), the Global Partnership Hub (Nairobi) and the Human Rights Hub (Geneva).
