FES India has three main programme lines focussing on the modernisation of India and the implications for the society, on the promotion of social justice in the fields of gender and labour relations , and on India’s role in a multipolar world. FES is dedicated to building platforms of mutual trust for open debate and progressive discourses on the national, regional and global level. Together with politicians, academics, members of civil society and experts FES wants to develop new ideas in shaping India’s future and to jointly strive for a better world.
India is in the midst of a transformation. Spurred on by the economic liberalisation in the 1990s, the country has gradually moved ahead on a path of industrial and technological modernisation and a further integration into the global markets.
Promoting social justice is among the core missions of FES. Social balance is an important requirement for genuine sustainable development, more so in the case of emerging economies like India.
India is a regional power in South Asia and a key geopolitical actor in a multipolar world. FES seeks to promote dialogue between India and a multitude of regional and global stakeholders.
The Regional Programme in Asia fosters inclusive and participatory processes where freedom, justice and solidarity are core elements of peace and security, political and socio-economic policy advancements in the Asia Pacific region.
