Presentation: Why does the Extreme Right Achieve so Little in Foreign Policy?
Location: University of GöttingenDate: April 12, 2023; 18:15 s.t.
Organizers: Anja Jetschke, Chair of International Relations; Andreas Fuchs, Chair of Development Economics
Presenter: Prof. Andrew Moravcsik, Princeton University
What concrete policy impact do extreme-right parties and their distinctive rhetoric have on democratic foreign policy? Controlled issue-by-issue investigation reveals that such impact is small and limited to narrow subsets of countries and issues. The modest impact of extreme-right parties and preferences can be explained as an adaption to enduring political constraints that all political parties face in foreign policy. Rather than adapting policy to their rhetoric, extreme-right parties far more often adapt rhetoric strategically to policy constraints—as illustrated by the experience of Germany, Italy, Hungary, Britain and even the US. In sum, in foreign policy such parties are "more bark than bite".

Economic development in China and the world faces many challenges, including: COVID-19, conflicts, climate change, currency inflation and aging populations. After the 20th Party Congress in October 2022, China is shifting many of its policies to address these challenges. As we navigate a changing era characterized by technological advances like artificial intelligence, globalization, and shifting demographics, sustainable development is becoming more relevant as a guide for policy-making and business practices. Given this context, the conference's main focus is on sustainable development in China and the world. Submitted papers will cover a range of relevant topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Sustainable food system
- International trade and development
- Low carbon economy
- Food security
- Poverty reduction
