The International Policy Analysis Unit (IPA) is part of the international activities of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation. IPA undertakes practically-oriented research and consultation on issues of international relations, focusing on Europe. At present our areas of concentration are as follows:

Europe's Foreign and Security Policy

In addition, we monitor and comment on current international events and contribute to a

We pursue these aims by means of studies, international conferences, various discussion and working groups, the journal International Politics and Society, as well as our IPA publications series.
