What makes us unique is our potent combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience in international affairs. By pooling the expertise and contacts of our members, we can offer an exceptionally broad range of services, which enables us to assist you in your projects in an ideal way – do not hesitate to contact us!

  • Professional expertise in political and public affairs both at home and abroad
  • Access to relevant persons.
  • Independent assessment
  • Pooled resources

Services

We carry out projects in Germany and abroad.
We support your business activities in the conceptual and preparatory stage, accompany the implementation and evaluation of your undertakings, and are at your disposal for improving projects already under way.

Political analyses, newspaper articles

Are you looking for an analysis of the political, economic and cultural conditions in a country – be it out of general interest, for holding a speech or because you want to invest there – ask us!

We also write descriptive and analytical articles for newspapers which do not have foreign correspondents in the country.

Concomitant business consultancy, in particular consulting small and medium-size enterprises in international affairs (economic, political and risk assessments)

Are you in need of a risk assessment for an investment abroad? We can help you.

Did you ever feel after making an investment abroad that you should have asked for expert advice earlier? Many businessmen turn to embassies and the Foreign Office only when the damage has been done. In order to avoid this, we offer you concomitant consultancy of a lasting nature on all of your foreign investments.

Speeches and lectures

Are you looking for expert speakers on foreign policy issues and foreign countries? Thanks to years of professional experience as public speakers, we offer speeches and lectures in all kinds of fora – academic, economic, political and cultural.

Protocol, organization of events, training of protocol officers

When it comes to organizing international events, protocol issues often arise: from cultural peculiarities through orders of precedence and table order to proven procedures for a smooth operation. We assist you in all questions of protocol, the organization of events (including large-scale ones), and in educating/training staff members in protocol matters.

Administration: organization and personnel management

We advise you in all questions relating to administrative organization and in personnel matters.

Information on the cultural and religious background of immigrants and on the political situation in their home countries

Members of community administrations who deal with refugees and immigrants need certain knowledge of the background of these people in order to help them. We offer courses informing staff about the history and the political, religious and cultural situation in the countries from which these people have come. We have members who speak their language. Since we have worked in an administration at nearly all levels, we also can advise you on improving administrative procedures.

Training of executive staff members abroad

We have experience in supporting foreign governments and international organizations in training high-level executives. We also offer this service to German institutions and private enterprises. In doing so, we focus on the topics you request.  Generally, we cover protocol and organization matters, press work and negotiation techniques as well as questions of public international law.

Specialties

We have colleagues who can advise you in the following specialties:

  • Security policy, arms control and disarmament, development aid policy, education issues and political Islam
  • Intercultural dialogue, background information on the situation in the countries of the “arc of crisis” in the Near and Middle East and Northern Arica, migration issues
  • Media, public relations, press work
  • International energy policy, OSCE, UNESCO, world heritage
  • Conflict prevention, conflict management and conflict solution, negotiations in special situations
