Our Vision

commonspace.eu is an independent information and analysis website, providing original content on a range of topics affecting Europe and its neighbourhood. Alongside publishing daily articles, it is home to the Concise newsletter series and Unpacked podcasts, helping its audience to determine not only what’s occurring, but why it is relevant; and maintains a number of social media channels to encourage discussion over the issues it covers.

commonspace.eu is owned and managed by LINKS Europe Stichting, sharing its ethos for a secure and prosperous Europe in friendship and solidarity with its neighbourhood; and a democratic, citizen-oriented European Union as an international force for good.

Our core mission is to support the peaceful resolution of conflicts and to contribute towards a secure and prosperous Europe that is in friendship and in solidarity with its neighbourhood, by, inter alia:

- Contributing towards the understanding of conflicts, and their peaceful resolution;

- Research and Analysis to help inform decision making and future action;

- Campaigning to raise awareness on issues of importance;

- Dissemination to help engage with decision makers, opinion shapers and grassroots communities.

Our Work

New ideas for alternative peaceful scenarios

Developing new ideas for peaceful alternatives to global or regional scenarios where conflict is deemed inevitable or intractable is an urgent priority for the peacebuilding community. LINKS’s past work on confidence-building measures and on the role of Track 2 diplomacy in support of peace processes forms the foundation for its work.

Dialogue, Analysis and Research

Good analysis, based on solid research, helps inform dialogues that can contribute to global and regional peace and security. Among the topics that LINKS Europe is currently working on are issues related to the future of European Security; the EU’s ambitions for a global or geopolitical Europe; Radicalisation; Disinformation; Conflicts in the Caucasus, and EU-GCC relations.

Campaigning for just causes

LINKS Europe believes in providing a space for dialogue between differing opinions. On some issues, however, we take a principled position and campaign for objectives in which we believe. A good example is our campaign Landmine Free South Caucasus where we work with partners across the region and in the international community.

Outreach to decision-makers, opinion shapers, and grassroots communities

LINKS Europe engages with governments, parliaments, think tanks, NGOs and businesses in order to share its knowledge and help shape policy and opinion. It does this through its online resources, publications, and outreach activities, such as The Hague Conversations on Conflict, policy dialogues and conferences.
